Personalised nervous system support for anxiety, stress, overwhelm, and sleep. Nalu helps you stop spiralling, sleep deeply, and feel like yourself again. Unlike anxiety and meditation apps that give everyone the same pre-recorded content, Nalu listens first. Tell the app how you feel by typing or speaking, and it builds a personalised guided session around your state in real time. Breathwork, somatic exercises, grounding, and coaching, chosen for you based on what you actually said. No two sessions are the same. Because no two days feel the same. If you feel wired but tired, anxious, panicked, burnt out, or stuck in fight-or-flight, Nalu gives you simple, practical tools to regulate your nervous system and settle your body.

Dose Days is a quiet companion for your microdosing practice. Log your doses, intentions, moods, and reflections in your own words, and watch the patterns emerge across your whole cycle. Most trackers only see the dose. Dose Days understands the full rhythm: dose days, integration days, and the return to baseline. That is where the real picture lives. WHAT YOU CAN DO: - Log in seconds. Capture each dose with an intention, a mood, and a note, in your own words. The app learns your language over time. - See your whole journey. A calendar shows your rhythm and your moods together, so you can read a full cycle at a glance. - Track your stack. Record every component with its own amount, from a template built in or one you save yourself. - Understand what works. Dose Days reflects your patterns back to you: how you feel on dose days, integration days, and at baseline, and what actually makes a difference for you. - Build around your rhythm. Follow a structured protocol or design your own. - Breathe with intention. A calm, guided breathing space, built in. - Your data, safe and yours. Back up everything to a file, or turn on automatic backup to your own private iCloud, so nothing is lost if you change or reset your phone. PRIVATE BY DESIGN All your data stays on your device. No account, no tracking, no servers of ours. If you turn on backup, it goes only to your own private iCloud, never to us. Dose Days is a tool for reflection and self awareness. It does not provide medical advice.
