Haptic Calm
Read full descriptionHide full description
Haptic Calm puts your breathing in your hand. Stronger vibration means breathe in, softer means breathe out β no screen to watch, nothing to hear. Just close your eyes. HOLD TO BEGIN Rest your thumb on the light and feel it rise and fall. Let go to stop; your thumb can move around freely. As it becomes familiar, the screen dims until your hand is enough. 1 MINUTE WHEN PANIC HITS Calm now: 3 physiological sighs, then a minute of slow breathing. Start it from the Lock Screen widget, Control Center or Siri β no need to unlock and look for the app. PET THE CAT Stroke the cat on screen and your phone purrs with it. Six cats, six purrs, each with its own little personality. 7 BREATHING METHODS Β· LEARN Steady, Box, Physiological sigh, 4-7-8, Resonant, Longer exhale, or your own rhythm. Seven 2β5 minute lessons: understand it first, then practice once with the vibration. 6 TEXTURES Breath, Heart, Purr, Tide, Rain and Bowl β the same breath, a different feel. You can even set the heartbeat's pace. TODAY'S MYSTERY A brand-new texture every day, and the light takes on its color. Keep the ones you love in My textures. PRO Β· POCKET MODE No need to hold on. On the commute, on a walk, in a queue: your phone stays in your pocket and still guides you. The screen turns itself off, and fabric won't trigger anything. PRO Β· BEDTIME ON YOUR CHEST Lie down with your phone on your chest. It listens to your breathing for 30 seconds, then slows it down over 8 minutes, getting softer and softer so it won't wake you. PRO Β· CREATE Blend up to 5 textures, adjust strength and feel. What you see drawn is what your hand will feel. Save it, name it, give it a color. FIVE SKINS Tidelight, River Stone, Moss, Stardust and Pompom, each with its own colors, type and matching app icon.

Bridge

It's not too much. It's too dense. One meeting ends, the next begins, and the last one keeps running in your head. What's missing isn't rest β it's a clean end. Bridge is an app with short audio sessions for the transitions in your day: from one meeting into the next, from work into your evening, from day into night. Two to five minutes, with a clear beginning and a clear end. For moments like these: β’ before the next meeting, while your head is still in the last one β’ after a call that never really ended β’ between two interruptions β’ when the workday is formally over but still open in your head Access to Bridge is usually provided by your employer.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bridge at none against Haptic Calm's 1. Bridge also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
