Can't focus. Can't switch off. No capacity left, and it's not even midday. Baseline is a 1โ€“3 minute nervous system reset that works when you're too depleted to think your way out. No meditation, no 20-minute sessions, just fast relief that fits your actual day. You already know the advice: breathe, journal, meditate, think it through. You've tried it. It doesn't work when you're actually stressed. Baseline works differently. Open the app and it asks one question: how are you right now. Whatever you tap, you get one guided reset built for that exact state: a specific breath pattern, a short movement sequence, or a grounding exercise, never a random pick from a list. 120+ resets, 1โ€“3 minutes each, including tools built specifically to close out a stress response instead of just pausing it, so you can actually recover. Most people don't believe two minutes can do anything. Then they feel it. "I'm calmer, I'm more present with the people I love, and I actually have energy left for my own life at the end of the day," one client told us. "I wish I'd had this years ago." That's the shift: not surviving your days, actually living them. Falling asleep without your mind still running. Waking up energized instead of already behind. Present with the people you love, not just getting through the day. The more you check in, the more Baseline learns what actually works for your system, not just to a generic "stressed" category. What you get: - A reset matched to your actual state in real time, never generic - 120+ guided tools, 1โ€“3 minutes each: breath, movement, grounding - Tools built to close out a stress response, so it stops carrying into your next hour, your evening, your sleep - Personalised reminders, set by you, so checking in becomes automatic instead of one more thing to remember - No streaks, no badges, no guilt if you skip a day - Something to open mid-meeting or mid-meltdown, not a session you schedule and skip You're exhausted even after a full night's sleep. You can't concentrate. You feel checked out of your own life. That's not a willpower problem, it's a capacity problem. Baseline doesn't ask you to think harder. It gives your body a direct signal to recover. Created by a psychotherapist with a background in neuroscience and somatic practice. Built for real life. In testing, 96% of users felt a real shift in under 3 minutes. Spend more moments at baseline. Baseline offers an auto-renewing subscription, billed monthly or annually after a 1-month free trial. No card required to start your trial. The exact price in your local currency is shown in the app before you subscribe. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
