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.

Can't think straight when you're overwhelmed? Just talk. WhisprJournal listens to how you speak, senses whether your nervous system is feeling safe, on high alert, or shut down — and guides you to the breathing technique, meditation, or somatic practice your body needs right now. No menus. No guessing. Just talk. VOICE JOURNALING THAT LISTENS Speak freely about how you're feeling. WhisprJournal picks up on your nervous system state — Ventral Vagal (safe and connected), Sympathetic (fight-or-flight), or Dorsal Vagal (shutdown) — and gently points you toward what will help. YOUR AI COACH Talk through a hard moment anytime. Your Coach knows your patterns and builds a personalized weekly plan of breathing, meditation, and somatic practices. Move practices to the days and times that fit your real life. BREATHING TECHNIQUES Physiological Sigh, 4-7-8 Breathing, Box Breathing, HRV Coherence, Bellows Breath, and more — each matched to the state you're in. GUIDED MEDITATIONS Sessions for anxiety release, deep sleep, focus, grounding, and morning intention. SOMATIC PRACTICES Body-based practices including Body Scan, Shaking, 5 Senses Grounding, Somatic Stretching, and a Body Journal to map where you carry tension. RESILIENCY SKILLS Learn simple body-based skills — tracking, grounding, gesturing, resourcing, and more — through an interactive track. REGULATE TOGETHER Invite an Accountability Partner you trust. Breathe in sync together in real time, and celebrate each other's wins in the Community — with blocking and reporting to keep it safe. NERVOUS SYSTEM PROFILE See your patterns over 7, 30, and 90 days: how often you're regulated, when you tend to dip, and how you're growing. DAILY CHECK-INS Morning and evening check-ins with mood logging and habit tracking that meet you where you are. FREE & PRO The free version includes one voice check-in per day. Whispr Pro unlocks unlimited check-ins, your Nervous System Profile, weekly and monthly reports, and an ad-free experience — available monthly, annually, as a family plan, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. PRIVACY FIRST Your voice is processed to detect your state and is never stored as an audio recording. Your journal stays encrypted on your device. WhisprJournal is a wellness tool, not a medical device, and is not a substitute for professional care.
