## What is Calma?

Feeling overwhelmed? A panic attack hitting out of nowhere? Calma is your pocket anxiety coach — built for the moments when you need help right now, not in 5 minutes.

WHY CALMA WORKS

Research shows that controlled breathing directly activates the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing heart rate and cortisol levels within 60–90 seconds. Calma puts clinically backed breathing techniques at your fingertips — with calming music designed to deepen the effect.

BREATHING TECHNIQUES

4-7-8 Breathing
The most effective technique for stopping panic. Inhale 4 sec, hold 7, exhale 8. Proven to reduce acute anxiety in minutes.

Box Breathing
Used by Navy SEALs and athletes under extreme pressure. Equal counts of inhale, hold, exhale, hold — restores calm and sharpens focus.

Coherent Breathing
5 breaths per minute activates the vagus nerve and brings heart rate variability to its optimal state.

Triangle Breathing
Simple 3-phase rhythm — inhale, hold, exhale. Perfect for beginners or when anxiety hits hard.

Deep Calm
Slow extended exhale breathing — activates the body's natural relaxation response within 2–3 minutes.

SOS PANIC BUTTON

One tap when you feel an attack coming. Guided breathing with animated visual cues and calming ambient music. No navigation, no loading — immediate help.

AI ANXIETY INSIGHTS

Log your episodes and let AI find patterns you haven't noticed. When do attacks happen most? What triggers them? What actually helps? Get a personalised weekly report based on your own data — not generic advice.

WHAT SCIENCE SAYS

Diaphragmatic breathing reduces cortisol by up to 50%. Regular breathing practice reduces panic attack frequency by 40–60% over 4 weeks. Over 200 million people worldwide live with panic disorder.
