## What is Groundly?

Feel off, overwhelmed, or just not yourself? Groundly helps you vent what's weighing on you — then find the reset that actually works for you. 

Build short daily rituals that help you feel steady again, every single day.

This isn't another meditation app. Groundly is the only app that starts where you actually are — and meets you there.

5 REASONS TO INSTALL GROUNDLY

1. Vent first — then reset
Most apps skip the hard part. Groundly starts with it. Say what's on your mind, let it out, and only then move into grounding. Because you can't calm what you haven't named.

2. Find what actually grounds you
Not everyone calms down the same way. Groundly finds the technique that fits how you feel right now — breathwork, body scans, sensory grounding, cold splash, mindful movement, and more. Personalised. Every time.

3. Know your grounding score
Get a free grounding score report developed with researchers from Nooseth Institute (Switzerland). See where you stand, track it over time, and watch it improve.

4. Your personal 4-week grounding plan
Groundly builds a custom plan around your moods and what grounds you. Four weeks of daily rituals that actually stick — because they're built around you, not a generic template.

5. Ground yourself in 5 minutes a day
You don't need an hour. Groundly rituals are short, guided, and built for real life — on the commute, between meetings, before bed.

WHAT'S INSIDE
→ Free grounding score with detailed breakdown
→ Free "28-Day Grounding Reset" Book 
→ Custom 4-week grounding plan built around you
→ Guided venting to let go of what's weighing on you
→ 100+ personalised grounding rituals based on how you feel right now

WHO IT'S FOR
Groundly is for anyone who wants to feel more present, steady, and more like themselves. Whether you're dealing with stress, overthinking, a hard day, or just that feeling of being off, Groundly meets you where you are.

BUILT WITH RESEARCH
Grounding techniques are well-established tools used by therapists worldwide to help you return to the present moment. Groundly makes them personal, accessible and part of your daily life — developed in collaboration with therapists and researchers.

Vent. Ground. Reset. Every day.

### 1/5 — Where’s the free version?

*2026-08-14*

Can’t find the free version. Keep getting stuck in a loop that wants me to immediately subscribe. i don’t do that until i’ve actually used the app through a free version first.

### 2/5 — hmm…

*2026-06-26*

Groundly claims to have a free version of their app, but it is extremely hard to find out how to access it. The app seems great, but the controls don’t seem very user friendly. I still can’t figure out how to access the free version, so I’m contemplating deleting the app.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for the honest feedback. The free version includes your grounding score quiz with recommendations,  while the personalised AI-matched rituals, insights and 4-week plan are part of the paid plan — which is how we keep building the app (we're a small team). That said, I'd love for you to experience the full version before deciding - email us at support@groundlyapp.com, and I'll set you up with access.

### 1/5 — Can’t even get through the front door to try it. Payment required.

*2026-06-10*

Can’t do anything without paying.
