Regulate
Read full descriptionHide full description
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 BALANCED / FLOW - Regulate Breath: a 1:2 inhale-to-exhale ratio, the slow pace HRV research points to - Daily maintenance exercises to keep your baseline steady 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 - Full data export $9.99/month or $69.99/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.

Frustrated that you never quite understand what's going on with your body? Somatica brings your whole health picture into one place, surfaces the hidden connections, and finally lets you walk into your doctor's office prepared. Your diary, lab results, doctor visits, blood pressure, sleep, and heart rate โ together โ with AI helping you make sense of it all. Most trackers just pile up data and leave you on your own in front of the doctor. Somatica takes it all the way: it turns scattered notes into a clear picture and a concrete plan. COME PREPARED FOR YOUR DOCTOR Your diary becomes a ready-to-use summary for your appointment: your complaints, the trend of your blood pressure and symptoms, and what's worth discussing. No more trying to remember "when did it start" or "how often does it hurt" โ Somatica gathers it for you. Your doctor sees the facts, not fragments of memory. AI FINDS THE CONNECTIONS THAT ARE EASY TO MISS "Your headaches happen on days you sleep less than 6 hours." Somatica analyzes your own data and finds the patterns between sleep, food, activity, habits, and how you feel. You don't have to hunt through a calendar for patterns โ the AI does it for you and shows you concrete connections with real numbers. LAB RESULTS BY PHOTO โ INSTANTLY CLEAR Snap a photo of your lab report and get a picture you can actually understand. The AI extracts the markers, units, and reference ranges, and highlights what's within normal limits and what needs attention. No more tables you can't make sense of. THE HEALTH OF EACH BODY SYSTEM โ IN PLAIN LANGUAGE Your heart, liver, nervous system, and other body systems get a score based on your data. You can see the trend and how confident each score is: the more data you log, the sharper the picture. PERSONALIZED CHECK-UP RECOMMENDATIONS Somatica suggests which tests are worth taking and when to see a doctor โ based on your own data. Passive tracking turns into a plan of action. ALL YOUR HEALTH TRACKING IN ONE APP Tired of juggling multiple apps to keep track of how you feel, your blood pressure, medications, lab results, and doctor visits? We believe all of it should live in one place โ so you can spot trends and connections, share complete information with your doctor, and stay in control of your health. SOMATICA HELPS YOU TO: โ Keep a health diary in seconds โ Track blood pressure, weight, sleep, heart rate, and steps โ Log your medications and their effects โ Decode lab results from a photo and see what's off โ Keep a history of doctor visits and prescriptions โ Find connections and patterns in your health โ Come to your appointment prepared SOME OF THE THINGS YOU CAN TRACK: โ Overall well-being and condition โ Blood pressure and heart rate โ Weight and its trend โ Pain and its zones โ Medications โ Dental notes โ Physical activity and exercise โ Screen time โ Hair loss โ Habits (alcohol, smoking, and more) โ Sleep, steps, calories, and other Apple Health data YOU CAN ALSO: โ Set reminders for your diary and medications โ Sync data from Apple Health โ Ask the AI assistant about your health โ Get a ready-made summary for your doctor's visit โ Export or delete your data at any time โ Use Dark Mode AN AI ASSISTANT THAT KNOWS YOUR DATA Ask anything โ from "Why am I always tired?" to "What should I pay attention to in my lab results?" The AI assistant draws on your diary, lab results, visits, and Apple Health data, and answers based on your specific health picture โ no generic advice, no diagnosis. MADE SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND YOUR HEALTH Our goal is to make caring for your health simple and clear โ so that behind the numbers and lab values you see meaning, not frightening uncertainty. Somatica helps you not just collect data, but understand it and act on it.
