The pond is real water now. Not a loop of an animation, an actual simulation. It moves when you touch it, settles when you leave it alone, and carries the state your practice is in. It's in Calm Space, behind the empty screens, and at sign-in. A WIDGET salwa has a home screen widget. It sits under the same sky the app does, so the light moves through your day and clouds drift across the afternoon. It tells you where your pond stands. Tap it to sit, or to start writing. There is a lock screen version too. DAYLIGHT The sky the app draws used to go flat and grey between morning and evening. It carries real colour now, all the way from first light through to dusk. ACTIVITY, REBUILT Your practice now lays out as a life in weeks - one dot per week, all of it on one screen. Open a week to see what you held, what you released, and which feelings kept coming up. Open a year to see the shape of it. MOMENTS What used to be called Anchors are now Moments. Same thing, clearer name. A NEW FIRST RUN Onboarding is a real release now, not an explanation of one. You do the practice, then decide. ALSO - The release screen finishes instead of cutting off - The background during a release is built from your own feelings - Clearer contrast throughout, in both light and dark - One daily reminder instead of two
MoreFull access to Salwa. Billed annually.
Salwa offers a 90-second practice that involves writing down what you're carrying, sitting with it during a timed breathing exercise, and then choosing to release it or save it as a 'Moment'.
All reflections are encrypted before leaving your phone, meaning Salwa cannot access your content. When you release something, it is permanently deleted from the database.
Salwa offers a 14-day free trial followed by auto-renewable subscriptions. You can choose between a monthly plan for $5.99 or an annual plan for $59.99.
Yes, subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID account settings.
The 'Pond' is a visual representation within Salwa that reflects your progress. It becomes still as you consistently practice letting go and ripples when you step away.
You can hold up to 7 'Moments' at once. This constraint is designed to encourage honesty about what still matters to you.
Salwa is rated for users aged 12 and older.
The latest version is 1.0, and the app was last updated on June 12, 2026. This indicates it is a relatively new application.
