Meet Tappy - your calming companion. Tappy is a soft, expressive character who mirrors your mood and guides you through short somatic tapping sessions to help you calm down, reset, and feel grounded again. Whether you're feeling anxious, stressed, angry, sad, tense, unfocused, or numb, Tappy helps you regulate your nervous system through gentle tapping, breathing cues, soothing visuals, sound, and subtle haptic rhythm. You calm Tappy — and in doing so, you calm yourself. Tappy is based on somatic tapping (also known as EFT), a simple and science-informed method that helps your body release tension and shift out of stress. Just tap on your own body while following Tappy's visual and rhythmic guidance. FREE FEATURES: • Download and explore the app • Track your daily calm streak TAPPY PREMIUM (subscription required): Unlock the full calming experience with Tappy Premium: • Unlimited guided tapping sessions for all emotions (anxious, stressed, angry, sad, tense, unfocused, numb) • Each session includes mood-specific visuals, sounds, animation, haptic cues, and short affirmations • Progress tracking with detailed insights and analytics • Weekly session breakdown and time-of-day patterns • Streak history and emotion analytics • Priority support Each premium session lasts 60–120 seconds.

After each session, you'll see Tappy's transformation from dysregulated to calm: brighter colors, softer breathing, and a peaceful expression. It's a gentle mirror of your own shift toward calm.

PingCircle is a private place to check in with yourself and, if you want, with the handful of people you actually love. THE ONE THING YOU DO Check In. A feeling, optionally a word for it, optionally what it's about, optionally a line of text. Two taps minimum. That's the whole app. BUILT FOR ONE PERSON, FIRST Every check-in saves to your own permanent log nobody sees it unless you choose to share that one entry. No account full of strangers required, no empty screens waiting for friends to join. Open it alone, every day, for years. YOUR ARTIFACT GROWS FROM DAY ONE A year grid that colors in one honest day at a time. A private journal you can actually reread. A monthly rhythm recap. After a few weeks, real patterns which days tend to be harder, what's been showing up described plainly, never as a score or a diagnosis. SHARE ONLY WHAT YOU CHOOSE Invite a small circle always by invite, never a public profile. Share one check-in at a time into your circle's room, where it appears for 24 hours. Your history, your patterns, and your full log stay yours alone, always. NO STREAKS. NO GUILT. There is no "don't break the chain." A gap in your log is just a lighter day, never damage. Reminders are off by default, one a day at most, and silenced in one tap. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your feelings data lives in HealthKit and on-device never on a PingCircle server, never used for ads, never sold. You choose, entry by entry, what if anything leaves your phone. Check In. See your year fill in. Share it with the people who matter, if you want to. That's PingCircle.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PingCircle at none against EFTappy's 4. PingCircle also leads on ads (none vs shown). EFTappy's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
