EXhale
Read full descriptionHide full description
A smooth, personal, and engaging experience that transforms night time overthinking into a simple and liberating gesture, powered by Apple Intelligence. Before going to bed, write down all the thoughts crowding your mind and lighten your mental load through a technique inspired by cognitive behavioral therapy. WHY IT REALLY WORKS Cognitive behavioral therapy teaches that putting frustrating thoughts down on paper helps reduce their intensity. With EXhale, this process becomes tangible: you donβt just write them β you physically see them shrink and disappear through direct interaction with the app. This active involvement strengthens mental detachment and promotes relax.. WATCH YOUR WORRIES FADE AWAY Turn a few minutes before bed into a moment just for yourself: - Write down whatever is on your mind - Interact directly with your thoughts - Watch them shrink until they disappear - Prepare for a more peaceful sleep Reduce the impact of insomnia on your daily life β every night is a step toward deeper, more restorative sleep.

What if you could wake up inside your dreams β and take control? Ad Somnia guides you into lucid dreaming: the extraordinary moment when you realize you're dreaming while still asleep. In a lucid dream, the impossible becomes real. Fly over cities, revisit forgotten places, meet anyone you can picture, or simply wander landscapes that exist nowhere but your own mind. Ad Somnia is built to make these experiences easier to reach β and to repeat, night after night. HOW IT WORKS Ad Somnia eases you into sleep with calming audio, then works quietly through the night. Using subtle Apple Watch vibrations timed to your sleep stages, it sends gentle cues designed to spark awareness inside the dream β without pulling you awake. Over time, your mind learns to recognize these signals and carry that awareness into the dream itself.
