Your nervous system is not broken. It's overwhelmed. SHIFT is a crisis regulation tool built specifically for ADHD, autistic, and neurodivergent brains — not a meditation app, not a mood tracker. A real-time intervention for when your system hits its limit. WHEN YOU'RE IN CRISIS, YOU NEED TOOLS THAT ACTUALLY WORK. SHIFT gives you five regulation modes designed around how neurodivergent nervous systems actually function: - Spiraling — racing thoughts, can't stop. breathing and grounding to interrupt the loop. - Frozen — shut down, can't feel. body activation to bring you back online. - Raging — about to lose it. controlled discharge to metabolize the charge. - Overwhelmed — too much, can't handle it. sensory reduction and coherent breathing. - Stuck — can't start, paralyzed. micro-steps and external anchors to unlock movement. NO GUILT. NO STREAKS. NO TOXIC POSITIVITY. SHIFT doesn't care if you missed yesterday. It meets you exactly where you are, every time. BUILT BY SOMEONE WHO GETS IT. Created by an AuDHD founder who got tired of wellness apps designed for neurotypical brains. Every mode, every interaction, every word was designed with your nervous system in mind — not a general audience. WHO SHIFT IS FOR: - ADHD and autistic adults navigating daily dysregulation - Anyone experiencing sensory overload or autistic burnout - People with anxiety, hypervigilance, or rejection sensitive dysphoria - Neurodivergent parents, founders, and professionals - Anyone whose nervous system runs hot and needs real tools Free to start.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Vocal View at none against SHIFT's 4. Vocal View also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). SHIFT's advantage is device support. On price there is nothing between them.
