Reset matches a breathing technique to your exact state, not the other way around. You won't scroll through endless options of meditations or journeys. The right breath, right now. Pick how you feel, or describe it and let the app send you to the best fit. Four exercises. Each one built for a specific moment. // THE EXERCISES Nervous → Calm Cyclic sighing — research from the Huberman Lab at Stanford suggests this pattern lowers stress quickly when practiced briefly. Mad → Relaxed Extended exhale. Slows your heart rate even when you're still activated, by leaning on the parasympathetic response. Fuzzy → Sharp Activating breath. Gently raises alertness without the cortisol spike of caffeine. Awake → Sleepy 4-7-8 breathing. Builds gentle CO₂ pressure that nudges your body toward rest. THE DETAILS · Haptics tuned to vibration frequencies the body's pressure receptors respond to · Spatial audio matched per mode · Voice narration and breath countdown (friendly if you prefer eyes-closed) · 1, 3, or 5 minute sessions (longer for falling asleep) · Each technique is drawn from published research on breathwork and the nervous system. No streaks. No journals. No notifications you didn't ask for. Just the tool, when you need it. Reset is not a medical device and is not a substitute for professional care. If you're in distress, please reach out to a qualified provider.
