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 โ Regulate meets you where you are, gently and without judgment. WHAT'S INSIDE โข Guided breathwork sessions grounded in polyvagal theory โข Somatic awareness practices to release stored tension in the body โข Nervous system education to help you recognise your own patterns โข Calming audio sessions for moments of overwhelm, freeze, or shutdown โข 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 โ 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.

Calm down in 2 minutes. You get home and you can't calm down. It's 1am and your mind won't stop. Your heart is going before the meeting. You're in the car park and you can't go in. You've told yourself to relax, and it did nothing. You can't think your way from wound up to calm. Your body has to come down in steps. Arrive gives you the steps, for how you feel right now. HOW IT WORKS Tap the feeling that fits. Arrive gives you a short somatic exercise, or a few in a row. You do them. At the end you say whether you feel calmer. Arrive remembers what works for you and offers it first next time. Most take just 2 minutes. ANYWHERE No equipment. No signal needed. Many are invisible to anyone watching: at a desk, in the car, in bed at 1am. Built on techniques tested in randomised trials. WHAT'S NOT HERE No subscription. No AI chatbot. No streaks. No account. PRICE One exercise a day of your choice is free, as often as you need it that day. Unlock every exercise, every time, with one payment. Nothing to cancel. IMPORTANT Arrive is a wellbeing app, nothing more. Not therapy, not treatment, not a medical device. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Regulate at none against Arrive's 1. Regulate also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
