Haptic Calm puts your breathing in your hand. Stronger vibration means breathe in, softer means breathe out — no screen to watch, nothing to hear. Just close your eyes. HOLD TO BEGIN Rest your thumb on the light and feel it rise and fall. Let go to stop; your thumb can move around freely. As it becomes familiar, the screen dims until your hand is enough. 1 MINUTE WHEN PANIC HITS Calm now: 3 physiological sighs, then a minute of slow breathing. Start it from the Lock Screen widget, Control Center or Siri — no need to unlock and look for the app. PET THE CAT Stroke the cat on screen and your phone purrs with it. Six cats, six purrs, each with its own little personality. 7 BREATHING METHODS · LEARN Steady, Box, Physiological sigh, 4-7-8, Resonant, Longer exhale, or your own rhythm.

You can even set the heartbeat's pace. TODAY'S MYSTERY A brand-new texture every day, and the light takes on its color. Keep the ones you love in My textures. PRO · POCKET MODE No need to hold on. On the commute, on a walk, in a queue: your phone stays in your pocket and still guides you. The screen turns itself off, and fabric won't trigger anything.
