Regulate vs REZET

Meditation asks you to sit still, close your eyes, and breathe. If your heart is pounding, or you feel nothing at all, that can make things worse. Regulate is not a meditation app. It's a nervous system app: short, active, body-first exercises matched to the state you're actually in. Pick how you feel, get the right tool, use it for 1 to 3 minutes, then rate how you feel. That's the whole loop. Built from lived experience of PTSD recovery and four years of somatic work, for the people meditation apps didn't work for. FOUR STATES. THE RIGHT TOOL FOR EACH. ANXIOUS / PANIC - Physiological Sigh: a double inhale and long exhale, one of the best-studied quick ways to help your body settle (2023 Stanford randomized trial) - Pattern Breaker: a cognitive interrupt for racing panic loops - Geode Release: rapid tapping to burn through the surge - Pressure Gauge: tap fast to drive the needle through the redline, then let it fall with one long exhale NUMB / FREEZE - Pendulum: follow a slow swing left and right and tap each side at the peak, with a soft tone in each ear - 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding: sensory anchoring to bring you back online - Focus Follow: smooth-pursuit eye tracking ANGRY / FRUSTRATED - Chaos Release: a physical discharge shake game - Tension Release: find and release the tension your body is holding - Haul: drag a heavy rope down with slow, full pulls; it gets heavier as you go BALANCED / FLOW - Regulate Breath: a 1:2 inhale-to-exhale ratio, the slow pace HRV research points to - Current: rest a fingertip on a wandering light and follow it WHY BODY-FIRST WORKS When your nervous system is stuck in fight, flight, or freeze, thinking your way out rarely works. Regulate's exercises are rooted in breathing science, somatic psychology, and nervous system research: science-backed techniques that work through the body. Breath, movement, bilateral stimulation, and sensory grounding. Every exercise is interactive and animated, with haptic feedback that gives your hands something to do. TRACK WHAT ACTUALLY HELPS Rate how you feel after every exercise. Earn XP, build streaks, hit daily goals, and see which tools work best for your nervous system, not someone else's. A gentle daily nudge, at the time you choose, helps you come back to it. REGULATE+ The four base state exercises are free, unlimited, forever. Regulate+ unlocks: - The full exercise menu for every state - Pattern Insights: hourly patterns, best times of day, effectiveness tracking - Custom Daily Goals: set multiple goals that fit your life - Protocol Builder: build your own exercise sequences - Morning, midday and evening reminder slots - Favorites: one tap to the tools that work for you - PDF progress report (CSV and JSON export stay free) $4.99/month or $34.99/year, with a 7-day free trial on the annual plan. Your nervous system isn't broken. It's doing its job, just a little too well. Regulate helps you work with it. Not meditation. Regulation. --- Regulate is a self-care tool, not a medical device, and is not a substitute for professional care.

What feels strongest right now? Is your heart racing? Is your chest tight? Are your thoughts looping? REZET is a physiological toolkit, not a meditation app. It acts as an emergency brake for an overactive autonomic nervous system. When you experience acute stress, panic, or overwhelm, your biology is stuck in a sympathetic (fight-or-flight) or dorsal vagal (freeze) response. REZET provides you with the exact, science-backed respiratory protocols needed to mechanically stimulate your vagus nerve and force a physiological state shift back to baseline. No spiritual fluff. Just clinical mechanics. Select your current somatic state, and follow the visual and haptic pacing. NEW: MEASURE VITALS Use the rear camera and flash for a dedicated 1-minute fingertip reading. A live camera preview helps you place your finger correctly, the measurement starts automatically once pulse lock is stable, and REZET processes the full capture window to estimate: • HRV • Heart rate • Breathing rate Breathing rate is inferred from cyclical heart rate changes during the measurement. Vitals are provided for wellness trends and self-awareness only, not diagnosis or medical monitoring. NEW: CUSTOM BREATHING PROTOCOLS Create and save your own breathing protocols with custom inhale, exhale, and optional hold timings. You can choose whether a session ends by total time or by completed rounds, then restart saved custom protocols in one tap from Home. THE PROTOCOLS: We map your acute symptoms to precise respiratory ratios designed to counteract them via heart rate variability (HRV) and vagal tone manipulation. • Tachycardia (Heart Racing): 4-7-8 pacing directly stimulates the vagus nerve, utilizing breath retention to trigger a rapid parasympathetic response and lower heart rate. • Chest Tension: 4-4-4-4 (Box Breathing) anchors the autonomic nervous system through equal respiratory distribution, preventing hyperventilation and releasing physical constraint. • Racing Thoughts: Micro-varied interval pacing demands active cognitive tracking, disrupting Default Mode Network (DMN) loops. • Sensory Overwhelm: Extended exhalations mechanically decrease heart rate via respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), signaling biological safety to the brainstem. • Dorsal Shutdown (Numbness): 6.0/6.0 coherent pacing gently up-regulates the system without triggering an adrenaline spike. • Restlessness: 5.5s Resonant Frequency synchronization maximizes HRV, bringing the cardiovascular and respiratory systems into perfect alignment to clear cognitive fog. SYSTEM FEATURES: • Zero Friction: No long intro videos, no mandatory sign-ups. Immediate access to physiological regulation in two taps. • Measure Vitals: A guided 1-minute camera reading for HRV, heart rate, and breathing rate estimates using the rear camera and flash. • Custom Protocols: Create, save, and restart your own breathing sessions with custom timings and time-based or round-based targets. • Clinical Insights: Detailed neurological and biological mechanics explaining why each protocol is effective. • Haptic & Visual Pacing: A high-contrast adaptive interface combined with precise haptic feedback—allowing for screen-free, eyes-closed regulation. • Adaptive Intensity Checkpoints: If a respiratory ratio exceeds your current CO2 tolerance, the algorithm safely down-scales the timing mid-session. • Dose-Dependent Sessions: Choose 1, 3, or 5-minute intervals based on your immediate physiological requirement. Stop trying to think your way out of a biological response. Use your physiology to change your psychology. Download REZET to gain mechanical control of your nervous system.
