What feels strongest right now? Is your heart racing? Is your chest tight? Are your thoughts looping? REZET is a physiological toolkit, not a meditation app. It acts as an emergency brake for an overactive autonomic nervous system. When you experience acute stress, panic, or overwhelm, your biology is stuck in a sympathetic (fight-or-flight) or dorsal vagal (freeze) response. REZET provides you with the exact, science-backed respiratory protocols needed to mechanically stimulate your vagus nerve and force a physiological state shift back to baseline. No spiritual fluff. Just clinical mechanics. Select your current somatic state, and follow the visual and haptic pacing. NEW: MEASURE VITALS Use the rear camera and flash for a dedicated 1-minute fingertip reading. A live camera preview helps you place your finger correctly, the measurement starts automatically once pulse lock is stable, and REZET processes the full capture window to estimate: • HRV • Heart rate • Breathing rate Breathing rate is inferred from cyclical heart rate changes during the measurement. Vitals are provided for wellness trends and self-awareness only, not diagnosis or medical monitoring. NEW: CUSTOM BREATHING PROTOCOLS Create and save your own breathing protocols with custom inhale, exhale, and optional hold timings. You can choose whether a session ends by total time or by completed rounds, then restart saved custom protocols in one tap from Home. THE PROTOCOLS: We map your acute symptoms to precise respiratory ratios designed to counteract them via heart rate variability (HRV) and vagal tone manipulation. • Tachycardia (Heart Racing): 4-7-8 pacing directly stimulates the vagus nerve, utilizing breath retention to trigger a rapid parasympathetic response and lower heart rate. • Chest Tension: 4-4-4-4 (Box Breathing) anchors the autonomic nervous system through equal respiratory distribution, preventing hyperventilation and releasing physical constraint. • Racing Thoughts: Micro-varied interval pacing demands active cognitive tracking, disrupting Default Mode Network (DMN) loops. • Sensory Overwhelm: Extended exhalations mechanically decrease heart rate via respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), signaling biological safety to the brainstem. • Dorsal Shutdown (Numbness): 6.0/6.0 coherent pacing gently up-regulates the system without triggering an adrenaline spike. • Restlessness: 5.5s Resonant Frequency synchronization maximizes HRV, bringing the cardiovascular and respiratory systems into perfect alignment to clear cognitive fog. SYSTEM FEATURES: • Zero Friction: No long intro videos, no mandatory sign-ups. Immediate access to physiological regulation in two taps. • Measure Vitals: A guided 1-minute camera reading for HRV, heart rate, and breathing rate estimates using the rear camera and flash. • Custom Protocols: Create, save, and restart your own breathing sessions with custom timings and time-based or round-based targets. • Clinical Insights: Detailed neurological and biological mechanics explaining why each protocol is effective. • Haptic & Visual Pacing: A high-contrast adaptive interface combined with precise haptic feedback—allowing for screen-free, eyes-closed regulation. • Adaptive Intensity Checkpoints: If a respiratory ratio exceeds your current CO2 tolerance, the algorithm safely down-scales the timing mid-session. • Dose-Dependent Sessions: Choose 1, 3, or 5-minute intervals based on your immediate physiological requirement. Stop trying to think your way out of a biological response. Use your physiology to change your psychology. Download REZET to gain mechanical control of your nervous system.

Midas Focus

Your brain isn't broken. Your inputs are. Midas uses visual neuroscience to train your brain to focus — faster, deeper, and on demand. Each session delivers research-backed stimulation that shifts your nervous system into a calm, alert state in minutes. FOUR SCIENCE-BACKED MODES Gamma Flicker 40Hz light stimulation triggers gamma brainwave activity linked to deep focus and memory. Backed by MIT and Nature research. Fractals Natural mathematical patterns rendered at 40Hz. Fractal exposure measurably reduces physiological stress — helping you enter flow without forcing it. Gaze Training Follow-the-dot exercises that trigger the release of acetylcholine and epinephrine — the two neurochemicals that drive sustained attention and neuroplasticity. Used by elite athletes and militaryoperators. Bilateral Stimulation (EMDR) Rhythmic side-to-side visual movement calms the nervous system before demanding work. Based on EMDR therapy principles. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a mode based on what you need right now 2. Choose a pattern and session length 3. Watch the visuals — your brain does the rest 4. Track your focus score, streaks, and progress WHY MIDAS • Sessions as short as 3 minutes • No meditation experience required • No audio, no talking, no woo — just visual neuroscience • Beautiful 60 FPS animations designed for each technique • Focus score tracks your improvement over time • Streak tracking to build a daily habit • Privacy-first — your data stays yours Whether you're preparing for deep work, calming pre-meeting nerves, or building a daily focus practice, Midas gives your brain the right input at the right time.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: REZET at none against Midas Focus's 2. REZET also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Midas Focus's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
