About

Tap

Read full description

Breathing well is fundamental, yet many people are never taught how. Inhaler technique adds another layer of complexity, where timing and coordination matter. Tap: Haptic Inhaler is a calm, guided breathing app designed primarily to support correct inhaler technique, while also offering structured guidance for general breathing practice using gentle haptics and clear timing cues. Whether you are learning to use an inhaler or simply want to practise calmer, more intentional breathing, Tap provides a clear and distraction free experience.

About

QuietTap

Features
Read full description

QuietTap is a haptic metronome for your wrist. It delivers a steady, rhythmic pulse at a pace you choose โ€” giving your nervous system something constant to hold onto when everything else feels uncertain. A steady haptic pulse gives your body something to lock onto, naturally slowing your breath and heart rate. Unlike audio tools, QuietTap works silently through touch โ€” on your wrist or in your hand, wherever you are. Quick start presets for Calm, Focus, Energise and Sleep let you start with one tap. After your session, see how your heart rate changed over time. No sound. No notifications. Just rhythm.
