## What is unclench?

Your jaw is clenched right now. Your shoulders are up by your ears. You've been holding your breath without realizing it.

Unclench is the first app designed specifically for people who hold stress in their body — not just their mind.

HOW IT WORKS

Take a 1-minute quiz. The app learns where your tension builds, how you sleep, and what triggers your stress. Then it creates a personalized rhythm of micro-breaks throughout your day.

7 TARGETED EXERCISES — ALL FREE

- Jaw Relaxation (1 min) — unclench teeth, massage jaw muscles, release temple tension
- Neck & Shoulders (90 sec) — chin drops, head tilts, shoulder rolls for your desk-stiff neck
- Breathing 4-7-8 (2 min) — inhale 4s, hold 7s, exhale 8s to activate your parasympathetic system
- Drop Shoulders (30 sec) — the quickest reset: notice, release, breathe
- Grounding 5-4-3-2-1 (~2 min) — sensory grounding for racing thoughts and anxiety
- Coherent Breathing (2 min) — 6-second rhythm that syncs heart and breath
- Thought Dump (5 min) — pre-sleep brain dump to quiet your mind before bed

BODY MAP

An interactive body silhouette shows where your tension lives. Tap a zone — start an exercise. Colors shift from orange to green as you attend to each area. See your tension patterns at a glance.

6 MULTI-DAY COURSES

Structured programs with daily sessions and progressive difficulty:
- Jaw Reset (14 days) — from awareness to automation
- Desk Worker Recovery (7 days) — undo 8 hours of sitting
- Pre-Sleep Wind Down (7 days) — from body to silence
- Stress SOS Kit (5 days) — 5 emergency techniques
- Focus & Energy (7 days) — beat the afternoon slump
- Meeting Recovery (5 days) — 60 seconds between calls

First 2 days of every course are free. Unlock full courses with Pro.

APPLE WATCH

Micro-exercises on your wrist. Haptic breathing guides you through 4-7-8 without looking at your phone. Jaw and shoulder resets in 30-60 seconds. Syncs with your iPhone.

SMART REMINDERS

Gentle nudges throughout your day that respect your calendar — reminders pause during meetings. Focus mode support keeps notifications silent when you need concentration. Customizable quiet hours.
