Stop Panic Instantly. Regain Control. Aura Unpanic is not a meditation app. It is a professional Somatic Grounding Tool designed for high-functioning individuals to interrupt the panic cycle and find focus in seconds through tactile sensory feedback. When stress hits, your brain needs more than "just breathing." Aura transforms your iPhone into a Tactile Anchor. Using advanced CoreHaptics technology, it provides immediate physiological feedback to your nervous system, bypassing the mental noise and bringing you back to the "here and now." Why Choose Aura? Traditional mindfulness often fails during peak anxiety because the brain is too overwhelmed to visualize. Aura engages your sense of touch, providing a physical signal that your nervous system can’t ignore. Key Features: Direct SOS Interruption: One-touch activation to stop panic and overthinking. Premium Somatic Textures: Choose between Stone, Fabric, or Breath haptic patterns. Invisible Anchor: Use it discreetly during high-stakes meetings or travel. Data Privacy: Your state is yours alone. No accounts, no tracking, no cloud storage. Interrupt the cycle. Touch. Breathe. Reset.

About

FocusPosture

Features
Read full description

Focus Posture is a focus timer that watches your head position through motion-capable AirPods. Start a session, put on your AirPods, and when your head drifts forward and stays there, your iPhone gives a short haptic tap. A quiet reminder to sit up, not an alarm. Made for long stretches at a desk: writing, coding, designing, studying. HOW IT WORKS • Choose a session length from 10 to 90 minutes (25 by default). • Hold a neutral posture for a few seconds while the app learns your baseline. • During the session you see a countdown, a posture ring with your head tilt in degrees, and a short status: Good posture, Drifting forward or Sit up a bit. • When your head stays past your threshold for the hold time (15 degrees for 20 seconds by default), your iPhone taps once. A cooldown (60 seconds by default) keeps the taps from repeating. • When the timer ends you see your share of good posture and how many nudges you got. MADE TO FIT YOU • Threshold from 8 to 30 degrees, hold time from 5 to 60 seconds, cooldown from 30 to 300 seconds. • Haptics can be switched off if you only want the numbers. HISTORY • A chart of the last seven days, your average share of good posture, and a list of sessions with their good-posture share and nudges. APPLE HEALTH (OPTIONAL) • Off by default. If you turn it on in Settings, finished sessions are saved to Apple Health as Mindful Minutes. Focus Posture never reads your Health data. PRIVATE • No account, no ads, no analytics, no third-party SDKs. • Motion data is read only while a session runs, and your sessions are stored on your iPhone. WORKS WITH Focus Posture needs AirPods with built-in motion sensors: • AirPods Pro (1st, 2nd and 3rd generation) • AirPods Max • AirPods (3rd generation) • AirPods 4 AirPods (2nd generation) have no motion sensors, so posture sensing does not work with them. GOOD TO KNOW Focus Posture senses your posture while it is open on the screen, and keeps the screen awake during a session. If you lock your iPhone or switch to another app, sensing stops. Motion sensing and a screen that stays on use battery. A NOTE ABOUT WELLNESS Focus Posture is a wellness aid for general posture awareness and habit-building. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose or evaluate any health condition. If you have persistent neck, back or shoulder discomfort, please see a qualified healthcare professional.
