## What is Nook?

Some days your mind won't quiet down and you're not sure how to make it stop.

Open Nook, say or type how you're feeling, and a warm voice answers and stays with you for a few minutes. It listens to what you actually said, then walks you through something to help you settle: a few slow breaths, or a small exercise to ground you, always at your own pace.

Everything the voice says is a response to you in the moment, so each session fits where you actually are. You don't have to figure anything out or remember any steps. You just follow along.

Sometimes it guides you through gentle bilateral stimulation. You follow a slow side-to-side rhythm for a little while, the same kind of gentle back-and-forth, inspired by EMDR (a technique used in psychology), to help your body and mind ease off. It's simple, and that's the point.

Nook also helps you build your own place of calm and keep it close: a good memory, an image, or a single word that steadies you. The voice guides you through it the first time, and after that it's saved. The next time a day gets loud, you already have somewhere to go back to.

What you can do with it:
• Say or type how you're feeling, and a live voice takes it from there
• Slow, guided breathing for winding down, sleep, focus, or shaking off a hard day
• Gentle bilateral stimulation (a gentle technique inspired by EMDR) that helps the calm settle in
• Build a private place of calm you can come back to anytime
• Take your resource with you, made voice: a short audio created from your session, to listen to whenever you need it
• Use your voice or stick to typing, whichever feels easier

Use it to fall asleep, to steady yourself before something you've been dreading, or just to take a quiet minute that's yours.

It's private by default. There's no account to set up, and whatever you say or write stays on your side.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.2 — 2026-07-17

• A soft sound now lets you know just before the guide speaks — perfect for practicing with your eyes closed.
• More stable sessions and small touches so nothing pulls you out of the moment.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-07-12

• Your resource at the end, always: the audio is now created from what you lived in the session, even a short one.
• The guide now always answers in your language, start to finish.
• Small touches so everything flows better.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-07-10

• A parting gift after your session: your resource, made voice. A short audio created from your place and what helped you today. The first listen is free; with Pro it stays with you.
• The welcome is now a conversation: your guide asks, listens — by voice or keyboard — and your first session arrives already knowing you.
• New optional reminder in Settings: we'll tell you when your daily free session is ready again.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-07-04

• Talking is easier: the mic turns on by itself when it's your turn, and you can clearly see when it's listening.
• The guide no longer talks over you: it finishes speaking before listening, and gives you time to think.
• You now get one free guided session every day.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-07-02

New: Cardiac coherence — a guided 5-minute session (5-5 breathing, the "365" protocol) to find your calm. Your sound choice is now remembered, and the screen stays on during a session.
