ExplOdin turns overwhelm into clarity. It's a warm, playful wellness companion for anyone who freezes on decisions or feels their anxiety spike when choices pile up — a way to steady yourself in the moment and think a choice all the way through. MEET YOUR MOOD-ORB A living companion that mirrors how you feel — it puffs up and "explodes" when you're overwhelmed, then breathes and settles as you work through things. Watching it calm down is oddly satisfying, and it makes progress feel real. STEADY YOURSELF IN THE MOMENT When stress spikes, tap one button for fast, evidence-based relief — physiological sighs, box breathing, 5-4-3-2-1 grounding, muscle release, and more. A simple 0–100 stress gauge (your own self-rating) shows it easing. THINK THE CHOICE THROUGH Break any hard decision down with clear, guided frameworks — a weighted matrix, pros & cons, impact vs effort, values fit, and 10-10-10. ExplOdin does honest arithmetic on the weights and scores you set to surface a Clarity Score — you can always see exactly why, and the decision is always yours. LEARN FROM WHAT HAPPENS Log how a decision actually turned out, spot your patterns over time, and build real confidence. Gentle streaks and milestones keep it encouraging, never shaming. A LITTLE AI HELP WITH WORDS (never with the decision) Stuck at a blank page or a spiraling thought? Optional "Untangle" prompts suggest options, reframe a worry into one kind next step, or help you reflect — it only ever helps you find words; it never scores or makes your choice. EXPLODIN PRO (optional subscription) The relief tools and core decision loop are always free. Pro unlocks the Values and 10-10-10 frameworks, unlimited decisions and criteria, full history, stress-pattern insights, unlimited AI, and extra orb looks. - Monthly ($6.99) or annual ($39.99), with a 7-day free trial - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation; auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel anytime in Settings ExplOdin is a wellness and decision-support tool, not therapy, and it does not provide medical, mental-health, or crisis care.

Every other wellness app measures the time you spend with it. Earthwicking measures the time you spend outside. Made for people who want a short, daily outdoor practice — nature connection, mindfulness or quiet spiritual reflection — that fits a balcony or a back step as well as a forest. THE TWO-HOUR LINE A study of 19,806 people found that under 120 minutes of nature a week was no better than none, and 120 or more was — and that it made no difference whether that came from one long walk or a dozen small moments. That last part is the whole point. Two minutes under a tree is not a consolation prize; it is a deposit against the same line. Earthwicking shows you the week against that line, works out your own pace, projects where you will land, and tells you the smallest honest step that would clear it. And when the week genuinely cannot be cleared, it says so, instead of inventing a target. TODAY'S EARTHWICKING MOMENT One short practice a day, two to ten minutes, dealt from a library of 67 and chosen for the Path you picked and the outdoor space you actually have. A balcony never gets handed a woodland practice. THREE PATHS Nature Connection for the senses and the ground under you, Nature Mindfulness for attention and breath, or Spiritual Connection for reflection and Scripture. Change it whenever you like. SCREEN-DOWN TIMER Start it, put the phone in your pocket, and go. The one screen this app wants is the one you close. YOUR JOURNEY Seed, Sprout, Young Plant, Sapling, Tree, Grove, Living Forest — earned on the Moments of a lifetime, so a missed day can never move you backwards. There is no streak in this app and the word does not appear in it. WHERE THESE NUMBERS COME FROM Every figure is named to its study, in the app, on one sheet. One claim we were asked for is refused there, and it says why. FREE, FOREVER The daily Moment on every Path, the entire 67-practice library, logging with real minutes, the Screen-Down timer, the growth stages, all eight badges, this week against the 120-minute line and your own pace, the current month's Companion reading, reminders, and 30 days of your own observations. EARTHWICKING DEEPER (optional subscription) The computed depth only: the projection and the prescription, the eight-week trend, Patterns — which path, element, length and time of day actually settle you — all twelve Companion months, unlimited favourites, full history, and a real exported file. - $4.99 per month or $29.99 per year, each with a 7-day free trial - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your Apple ID is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the period ending. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID Settings. Earthwicking asks for no location permission and contains no GPS or maps. Nothing in it is medical advice.
