Panic always passes. But in the moment, it feels permanent. It Will Pass is a focused toolkit for riding the anxiety waveβsimple, proven techniques you can reach for the second you feel it starting. ONE PRICE, YOURS FOREVER No subscriptions. No trial countdowns. No "upgrade" nagging when you're feeling overwhelmed. Pay once, keep it forever. TRULY PRIVATE No accounts. No cloud syncing. No personal data tracking. It Will Pass doesn't push you to "gamify" your anxiety, but it does include optional session and mood tracking if you find that data helpful. Optional Apple Health integration logs completed sessions as Mindful Minutes (it reads nothing from your health data). SIX WAYS TO STEADY YOURSELF BREATHE: Guided breathing patterns. App-paced, so you don't have to count in your head. Fully customizable inhale and exhale durations. RELAX: Progressive muscle relaxation. A guided walk through the body, one muscle group at a time. Physically relax so your mind can catch up. GROUND: The 5-4-3-2-1 sensory exercise. Bring yourself back to the present moment through guided prompts. PASSAGE: A softly lit tilt maze. A physical task for when your brain needs somewhere else to put its energy. You will find the way out. You always do. JOURNAL: A safe face id locked offline place to write down or record your thoughts. SENSE: Carefully crafted fidgets for restless hands. ON YOUR WRIST WHEN YOU NEED IT MOST A full Apple Watch companion app. Access breathing, relaxation, and grounding tools from your wristβfor the moments when reaching for a phone feels like too much. CALMING THEMES AND SOUNDS Select from different visual themes and high-quality, hand-picked sounds designed to soothe your senses and help you ground yourself in the moment. WHY I BUILT THIS I am a medical doctor. After a year working in a high-intensity Emergency Room, I started having panic attacks of my own. These exercises are the ones that helped me through that period. I built It Will Pass because I wanted a single, honest tool I could reach for in the worst momentsβnot a subscription service, a workbook, or a chatbot. Just the tools that actually work, designed to be there exactly when theyβre needed. β Alperen DΓΆnmez, MD
