Unlock sustainable peak performance. Top athletes prepare their state before every high-stakes moment. Most professionals don’t. Regulate closes the performance gap — helping leaders and teams shift their mental and physical state in real time. It’s the breathwork app for the workday, built to boost focus, reduce stress, recover energy, and improve sleep so you can perform at your best. WHY THIS MATTERS The modern work environment constantly pulls you off balance: - Always-on digital routines - Fragmented attention and dopamine-driven feeds - Isolation in hybrid and remote setups - Constant pressure and uncertainty The cost is business-critical: fatigue, reactivity, poor decisions.

Fast, practical, measurable. - Workday Focus — enter meetings clear and composed - Stress Relief — regulate your nervous system in minutes - Energy Boost — reset between calls without caffeine - Sleep & Recovery — down-regulate before bed for deep rest Each session is designed by breathwork and performance coaches and proven through wearable data (HRV, resting heart rate, sleep). WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT - Real-time regulation — shift your state instantly - Two-way control — activate or calm with one tool - 96% of users reported measurable benefits (internal survey, 2025) - Trusted by Europe’s most innovative companies - Enterprise-ready - Scientifically proven breathwork (Harvard Medical School (July 2024), Stanford Medicine (Feb. 2023)) Wearables measure stress.
