About

CalmTide estimates stress load from your Apple Health data — it does not measure cortisol. See your stress load clearly, and settle it. CalmTide reads the Apple Health data you already have — sleep, HRV, workouts, resting heart rate, mindful minutes — and turns it into one clear picture: an HPA Balance Score today, a weekly balance trend, and a Breathe tab for when you want to settle. SEE TODAY CLEARLY • HPA Balance Score (0–100) from a named model with its sources cited — tap any number to see the research behind it • Today's estimate says how much data backs it, and a signal CalmTide couldn't measure reads "Not measured" — never as a bad day • Pick a focus — less stress, better sleep, avoiding burnout or training without overtraining — and Today and Insights lead with it • Your HRV and resting heart rate against typical ranges for your age and sex, once you confirm your age (Pro) BREATHE • A Breathe tab: cyclic sighing (Balban 2023) and resonance breathing (Shaffer 2020), in 2, 5 or 10-minute sessions, suggested for the moment you're in — free • Follow a session with your eyes closed: a gentle tap at each breath, the screen kept awake for the session only, and a pacer bar instead of the orb when Reduce Motion is on • Your mindful minutes this week from Apple Health, with no target and no streak to keep • More practices (Pro): NSDR / yoga nidra, a short cold finish for the morning, and a post-meal walk — each guided, each naming the study behind it • Sessions save to Apple Health as Mindful Minutes and count down on your Lock Screen FIND YOUR PATTERNS • Morning-after insights: what caffeine, alcohol, late meals and hard workouts did to your HRV, sleep and readiness • A one-time note when CalmTide first spots a pattern in your own check-ins — an association, never a cause • What your check-ins reveal (Pro): whether how you feel tracks your sleep, HRV and training UNDERSTAND YOUR WEEK • A weekly retrospective that ranks what moved your balance — only signals measured in both weeks (Pro) • Workouts with heart-rate data labelled reducing, neutral or spiking for their estimated load. Sessions without it still count toward your weekly dose, never guessed at • Training load as plain figures: acute-to-chronic ratio, monotony and strain (Pro) • Your weekly HPA balance over 8 weeks, with life events pinned to it, and a 7-day forecast of your load estimate (Pro) • An appointment summary: one page and a CSV of what CalmTide measured, and nothing it couldn't (Pro) ON YOUR WATCH FACE • Two complications: CalmTide balance and CalmTide readiness, each showing when it last updated (scores with Pro) • Haptic-paced breathing with your live heart rate, and check-ins that sync to your iPhone • Double Tap starts and finishes a breathing session on Apple Watch Series 9 and later • Ask Siri "What's my cortisol today in CalmTide?" for today's estimated load (Pro), or start a session from Control Center or the Action button PRIVATE BY DESIGN • On-device analysis, including the optional Calm Coach explainer • App Privacy label: Data Not Collected • On iPhone Duo, Breathe and Insights use both pages when open, and sessions adapt to every pose Scores need an Apple Watch, or another app that writes sleep, HRV or resting heart rate to Apple Health. CalmTide is free to use daily. CalmTide Pro unlocks everything marked (Pro), plus 60- and 90-day history, score & forecast widgets and Calm Coach — as a monthly or annual subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase with no subscription. The annual subscription includes a 1-month free trial for new subscribers. Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled; the price and any trial are shown before you confirm. CalmTide is a wellness tool. It does not diagnose or treat any medical condition.

What's New in CalmTide

2.0

October 23, 2026

CalmTide 2.0: breathe, see it on your wrist, and know what every number rests on. • A Breathe tab. Cyclic sighing and resonance breathing get their own home, with a suggestion for the moment you're in, a 5 or 10-minute resonance session, and your mindful minutes this week. On iOS 27 it sits apart at the end of the tab bar. • Breathe with your eyes closed. A gentle tap marks each breath, the screen stays awake for the session only, and with Reduce Motion on a pacer bar replaces the orb. • Your watch face. Two complications — CalmTide balance and CalmTide readiness (scores with Pro) — each showing when it last updated. On Apple Watch Series 9 and later, Double Tap starts and finishes a breathing session. • Confirm your age once for age-adjusted ranges. Until you do, CalmTide assumes 35 and says so, without calling you above or below a range. • No Apple Watch yet? CalmTide now says plainly when it hasn't found sleep, HRV or resting heart rate in Health, and what works without them. • "New pattern found": a one-time note the first time your own check-ins show a pattern — an association, never a cause. • Clearer VoiceOver descriptions for every chart. • The Trend now shows your weekly HPA balance, and "above your usual" and the forecast count only days CalmTide actually measured, and readiness waits for 7 nights of resting heart rate. Some scores rise, some fall; nothing about your body changed. • Lifetime is now "One-time · no subscription". Offer codes can be redeemed from the paywall or Settings. • The report is now an appointment summary: one page and a CSV of what CalmTide measured (Pro). • Corrections: we re-checked every study CalmTide cites. Several references named the wrong authors or overstated what a paper found; those are fixed, and claims we couldn't source are gone. The fixed HRV "target" lines are removed, and CalmTide's own targets are labelled as such on Methodology. Everything runs on your device. CalmTide is a wellness tool and does not diagnose or treat any medical condition.
