Your next panic attack won't wait for you to find your meditation app. But your breath? That's always with you. Undulate turns your phone into a breathing coach that actually works โ€” 5 modes, haptic guidance, 60 seconds to calm. No account. No subscription. Ever. 60 SECONDS. REAL TECHNIQUES. These aren't random animations. Every mode is built on a real breathing technique used by doctors, military, and therapists: - Paper Plane โ€” Box breathing. The technique Navy SEALs use to stay calm under fire. Balanced 4-4-4 rhythm that stabilizes your mind when pressure hits. - Whale โ€” 4-7-8 breathing, developed by Dr. Andrew Weil. Activates your vagus nerve and drops your heart rate in under a minute. - Dandelion โ€” Extended exhale for winding down. Shifts your nervous system from fight-or-flight to rest-and-digest. - Shredder โ€” Fast-paced release breathing for when you're angry, overwhelmed, or about to lose it. - French Press โ€” Slow morning breathing ritual. Better than coffee for waking up your brain. FEELS LIKE NOTHING ELSE Haptic feedback pulses with every inhale and exhale โ€” your phone literally breathes with you. No screen-watching required. Just feel the rhythm and follow it. Every session is tracked. Streaks, minutes, modes โ€” see the proof that you're building a real habit. PAY ONCE. KEEP FOREVER. Two modes are free. Unlock everything with a single purchase. No subscription. No renewal. No "we'll charge you when you forget." You pay once, you own it. We don't collect your data. We don't have accounts. We don't know who you are and we don't want to. Start now.

Stone. Flame. Tide. Veil. Which one are you? Most breathwork apps treat every nervous system the same. Regulate doesn't. A 6-question scenario assessment โ€” no labels, no diagnoses, just how your body actually reacts โ€” places you in one of four tribes: โ€ข Stone โ€” I hold the line. Steady, grounded, built to endure. โ€ข Flame โ€” I burn bright. Intense, directional, fast-firing. โ€ข Tide โ€” I move with the current. Cyclical, adaptive, rhythmic. โ€ข Veil โ€” I soften the noise. Sensitive, protective, quiet. From that moment, the entire app speaks your tribe's language. Colors, copy, sessions, daily drop โ€” all tuned for how your nervous system is built. ONE DAILY DROP. SHARED WITH YOUR TRIBE. Every morning, your tribe receives one hand-written micro-impulse โ€” the same line, on the same day, for every Stone or Flame or Tide or Veil. Not a generic affirmation. A line in your tribe's voice. COHORT SESSIONS. Twice a day, your tribe practices together. The home screen shows anonymously how many in your tribe are breathing with you right now. 14 SCIENCE-BACKED TECHNIQUES. Box Breathing. 4-7-8. Wim Hof. Physiological Sighing. Coherent. Nadi Shodhana. Tactical Breath. Each recommended based on your tribe AND your current state. HRV BEFORE AND AFTER. Apple Health reads your heart-rate variability pre- and post-session. You see, in your own data, which techniques actually move your nervous system. FREE: โ€ข Tribe assessment + your manifest โ€ข 7 core breathing techniques โ€ข Daily drop + cohort schedule โ€ข Live tribe counter โ€ข Haptic breathing guidance โ€ข Session history + HRV tracking โ€ข 3 AI Coach questions per day REGULATE PRO: โ€ข All 14 techniques โ€ข Unlimited AI Coach โ€ข Multi-day guided Programs โ€ข Advanced HRV insights โ€ข Ambient Mix library โ€ข HealthKit Mindful Minutes sync โ€ข Home Screen widget โ€ข Shareable tribe identity card Free plan works offline.
