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 2–5 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. ALSO β€’ Widgets, a Control Center button and a Siri shortcut β€’ Logs Mindful Minutes to Health (write only, never reads) β€’ English, δΈ­ζ–‡, FranΓ§ais β€’ Works with large text and VoiceOver FREE AND PRO Free: hold to practice, 3 methods and the first 4 lessons, 6 textures, Calm now and widgets, Pet the cat, a mystery a day, the Tidelight skin. Pro is a one-time purchase, no subscription: Pocket mode, Bedtime on your chest, all methods and lessons, your own rhythm, Create, unlimited mysteries (keep 10), 4 more skins and icons, strength 0–200%. Bought Pro before? Everything new in 2.0 is already yours. PRIVACY No account, no personal data collected, fully offline, no ads. Haptic Calm is not a medical device. If you feel dizzy or tight in the chest, stop and breathe normally. If you are pregnant or have heart or breathing conditions, ask your doctor first.

Begin with the End in Mind. Become the New You. Why does manifesting often feel stuck? Because we try to "get" things from a place of lack. Vela flips the script: you don't wait for reality to change; you shift your identity first, and let the new version of you navigate today. Core Features: Build Your Manifestation System Identity Shift: Put on Your Crown Stop begging the universe. Select or customize your new identity (e.g., Wealth Magnet, Abundant Source, Relaxed Traveler). Click "Switch" and choose the version of yourself that excites you. Long-Press to Embody: The Soulful Ritual Vela's signature interaction. When anxiety or the old story kicks in, return to the home screen. Long-press the fingerprint until your phone vibrates. In that moment, your old self steps down and your new identity takes the throne. Manifestation List: Unpack "Consciousness + Result + Action" Don't just write "I want to be rich." Set a clear goal (e.g., $10k side income). Bind a high-vibe affirmation, drag the progress bar to 100% (acting as if it's already done), and break it down into small actions you can complete today. Manifestation Wall: Witness Your Magic Record every miracle as it happens. Once a goal is achieved, it lights up on your Manifestation Wall. Watching your "Manifested" counter grow feeds your confidence and raises your frequency. Vision Board: A Visual Blueprint for Your Subconscious Your subconscious loves images. Collage your dream life: a sunny office, world travels, your ideal physique. Look at it daily to prime your brain for "I already have it." Gratitude Journal: Hold the Frequency of Abundance Don't write a boring diary. Write what your new identity is grateful for. Three warm sticky notes a day shift your focus from lack to "I already have it." Habit Tracker: Action as a Decree New identities aren't built by thoughts alone. Track habits like "making money, working out, sleeping early, reading." Watch your streak grow and see your new self take shape. Daily Affirmations: One-Tap Frequency Calibration Swipe through high-vibrational affirmations (e.g., "I have the power to make my dreams come true") to instantly reset your state to peace, courage, and abundance. The Truth of "Begin with the End in Mind" Don't fight your past, and don't fear your current 3D reality. Simply hold your new identity in Vela until it becomes your natural state.
