Vagus Bloom
Read full descriptionHide full description
Vagus Bloom helps you build a calmer, more resilient nervous system to enhance stress management and overall wellness through daily vagus nerve practices. The vagus nerve โ the longest nerve in your body โ connects your brain to your heart, lungs, and gut. It regulates your stress response, heart rate, digestion, and inflammation. When it's working well, you recover from stress faster and feel more grounded. When it's not, everything runs a little hot. Vagus Bloom gives you the tools to train this nerve, one practice at a time. DAILY CHECK-IN Start each day by noticing how your body feels. A quick 30-second check-in assesses your nervous system state and recommends the right practice for where you are today. GUIDED PRACTICES Breathing exercises, ear-based vagal stimulation, vocal techniques, cold exposure, and movement practices โ each targeting a specific branch of the vagus nerve. Choose your duration, follow the guided timer, and build your practice over days and weeks. VAGAL STATE TRACKING See your nervous system trends over time. The vagal state graph shows where you've been and how your baseline is shifting as you practice consistently. INFORMATIVE ARTICLES In-depth articles covering vagus nerve science, polyvagal theory, recent research, and practical technique guides. 5-DAY VAGUS LAUNCH New to vagus nerve practices? The guided 5-day curriculum introduces one technique per day, building your foundation step by step. TRAINING GOALS After the 5-DAY-VAGUS LAUNCH, set your own training goal: 7, 14, 30, 60, or 90 days. The app adapts your weekly practice themes based on your check-in data โ calming practices when you're running hot, activating practices when you're running flat. NERVOUS SYSTEM GARDEN (Premium) A living garden that grows with your practice. 22 unique plants unlock as you hit milestones. Fourteen carefully curated scenes to arrange your garden in. Plants have a glow, they wilt when neglected, and recover when you return. Your progress, visualised as something beautiful. CAT VIDEO REWARDS (Premium) 38 collectible cat videos appear as surprise rewards after practices and check-ins. Discover named videos across 7 series, build your collection, and find them all. LATEST RESEARCH A curated news feed pulling the latest vagus nerve research from PubMed, Nature, Frontiers, and other sources. Stay current with the science. Vagus Bloom is built on research and vibes, and designed to respect your time. Most practices take 1-5 minutes. The check-in takes 30 seconds. Consistency matters more than duration. Free features: Check-in, all practices, articles, graph, training goals, news feed. Premium (Catmium): Garden, cat videos

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Balance Care at none against Vagus Bloom's 1. Balance Care also leads on iOS requirement (13.5 vs 15.1). Vagus Bloom's advantage is device support. On price there is nothing between them.
