Unbind helps you release inner tension, stress, and emotional pressure in under two minutes โ€” by working with your body, not your thoughts. That tightness in your chest. The knot in your stomach. The weight on your shoulders. Your body has been holding onto stress, worry, and unprocessed feelings. Unbind helps you let go. HOW IT WORKS Unbind uses simple somatic techniques to help you release tension quickly and gently. No complicated breathing exercises. No long meditation sessions. Just a few guided moments to locate what you're feeling and soften around it. DAILY STRUCTURE Morning Reset: Start your day grounded. Check in with your inner weather, receive a grounding moment, and set your intention with a daily seed of wisdom. Evening Unwind: Close your day peacefully. Release what you've carried, let your shoulders drop, and prepare for restful sleep. Anytime Release: When tension builds during the day, tap to release. The main flow guides you through locating the sensation, naming it, understanding what it might be protecting you from, and gently letting it soften. THE PHILOSOPHY Unbind is inspired by the work of David R. Hawkins and Don Miguel Ruiz โ€” simplified and modernized for everyday use. The core insight: you don't need to understand your feelings to release them. You just need to stop resisting them. WHAT MAKES UNBIND DIFFERENT - Body-based: Work with physical sensations, not endless thoughts - Fast: Every flow takes under 2 minutes - Gentle: No pressure, no judgment, no performance tracking - Simple: No journaling, no typing, just tap and follow - Beautiful: A calm, warm interface designed to feel like a safe space FEATURES - Quick release flow for immediate tension relief - Morning and evening check-ins - Inner weather tracking to observe patterns over time - Daily seeds of wisdom to carry with you - Soft progress tracking without pressure - Offline functionality WHO IS UNBIND FOR - People who feel constant tension, stress, or anxiety in their body - Overthinkers who get stuck in mental loops - Anyone who has tried meditation but found it too slow or mental - Those seeking emotional regulation without heavy self-help work - Anyone who wants to feel lighter, calmer, and more present Your body knows how to let go. Unbind simply guides you there.

Gentled

Gentled helps people with chronic illness make movement, fitness, and exercise fit changing capacity, then learn what was actually tolerated later. Built for chronic illness, pain, fatigue, PEM risk, dysautonomia, hypermobility, flare days, and changing capacity, Gentled supports bed-based movement, mobility, strength, balance, stamina, walking or wheeling, physio, classes, and everyday activity. It starts with today's body rather than a generic workout plan. What Gentled helps with: - Check today's readiness before movement. - Choose restorative, light, or steady options. - Build a flexible weekly rhythm around mobility, strength, balance, stamina, or recovery goals. - Choose a weekly exercise focus with harder-day, everyday, and stronger-day options. - Add optional movement invitations on days you choose, without creating missed workouts. - Check in and control a session from Apple Watch, with optional session-only live heart rate that is treated as context rather than a safety score. - Keep the next useful action visible with iPhone, Lock Screen, Smart Stack, and Apple Watch widgets. - Bring movement from outside Gentled into the same week and recovery loop. - Save movement instructions you already use, open them again from Today, and run them as a text-led session without Gentled rewriting them. - See recorded active time and exercise goals represented in your week without rings, streaks, or a minutes target. - Filter suggestions by position, body area, equipment, and stop signals. - Rest, stop early, make easier, or switch position during a session. - Log immediate response and delayed recovery 12 to 48 hours later. - See which movement was tolerated, pending, or needs caution. - Export CSV history or create optional Gentled+ PDF reports. - Use the app without accounts, analytics, ads, or tracking. Gentled is wellness self-management support. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, physiotherapy, rehabilitation prescriptions, or guarantees that movement is safe. Your symptoms and judgement always outrank the app. Terms of Use: https://www.cocoacorn.com/gentled/terms Privacy Policy: https://www.cocoacorn.com/gentled/privacy
