Forge is a habit tracker built for people who are tired of bloated productivity apps. Six habits. One screen. Commit daily. Don't break the chain. That's it. No notifications screaming at you, no social feed, no premium tier dangling features behind a paywall. Just the habits you've chosen to build, and a simple way to mark them done each day. THE COMPOUND PRINCIPLE Every day you commit, your plant grows. Dormant. Seed. Sprout. Seedling. Young. Plant. Sapling. Tree. Bloom. Each milestone is earned over weeks and months — not gamified noise, but a quiet visual record of consistency. WHAT MAKES FORGE DIFFERENT - Six habits maximum. The cap is the feature. If you can't fit it in six, it isn't a priority. - Hold to commit. No accidental taps — pressing and holding is a small ritual that says you mean it. - Build OR break. Track habits you want to add (workout, read, meditate) or ones you want to quit (social media, drinking, junk food). The math handles both. - Timed habits. For meditation, focus blocks, or anything time-based — the timer counts down, you stay present. - Streaks that matter. Current streak. Longest streak. 30-day completion. Best day of the week. Real numbers, not vanity metrics. - Yours alone. Everything stays on your device. No accounts, no cloud sync, no analytics. We can't see your habits because we never collect them. DAILY USE Open the app. See your six habits. Hold each one as you do it. Watch your plant grow. Close the app. Do that for a year. That's the entire product. If you've tried fifteen habit apps and quit them all because they got in your way, Forge is for you. No accounts. No subscriptions. No ads. Forever.

Regulate: Nervous System is a trauma-informed audio wellness app designed to help you understand, soothe, and build resilience in your autonomic nervous system. Whether you're managing anxiety, recovering from trauma, navigating burnout, or simply trying to feel more grounded in daily life — Regulate meets you where you are, gently and without judgment. WHAT'S INSIDE • Guided breathwork sessions grounded in polyvagal theory • Somatic awareness practices to release stored tension in the body • Nervous system education to help you recognise your own patterns • Calming audio sessions for moments of overwhelm, freeze, or shutdown • Daily regulation practices to build a steadier baseline over time HOW IT WORKS Regulate uses pre-generated audio sessions crafted with trauma sensitivity at their core. Sessions are short, accessible, and designed to be used whenever you need them — in the morning, during a stressful moment, or before sleep. No login. No subscription required. No data collected. Everything stays on your device. PRIVACY FIRST Regulate does not collect, store, or share any personal information. No account is required. Your microphone is never used to capture audio. FOR WHOM Designed for adults (12+) who want to explore nervous system regulation as part of their wellbeing toolkit. This app is a self-guided wellness resource and is not a substitute for professional mental health care. Built with care, compassion, and a deep respect for the complexity of healing.
