Twelve minutes a night. Picked for you.
Not a library of a thousand recordings to scroll through. One practice a day, chosen from how you slept and how the day went. You open it and you do it. That is the whole thing.
Why one a day instead of a thousand
Every app in this corner of the store hands you a library and a search bar. That works if you have the energy to choose. At eleven at night, after the kind of day that put you here, choosing is the part you cannot do.
So we took it away.
- Before bed you tap three things. How you slept. How tight you feel. How much is left in the tank. It takes about seven seconds.
- The practice opens straight after, the same evening. About twelve minutes, built from those three numbers. A slow even breath, or tensing and letting go one part at a time, or lying still and doing almost nothing, depending on what the numbers say.
- You are told in one line why you got that one. Word for word from a real day: slept badly, tight, running on empty, three minutes of small movement first, then nine minutes down.
What the first three nights are
Free. Not a course with a fixed order. Three ordinary evenings of the actual thing, and what you get depends on the evening.
- Every evening. Three taps, then one practice. Eleven to thirteen minutes, and one line saying why that one.
- Tight, with something still in the tank. A long out breath and humming. That is what gets through while you are still buzzing.
- Tight and flat at the same time. A few small comfortable movements of the hands and ankles first, then tensing and letting go. A calm practice does not land on a body that is still braced.
- Flat but not tight. A small lift instead of more slowing down. More slowing down is not what an empty evening needs.
- Short night and nothing left. Nothing standing, nothing asked. You lie down and the voice does the rest.
- Three short nights running. It stops varying and holds one recovery practice for a few days. That is the only case where the taps stop deciding.
- If you miss two evenings. The one after is four minutes, not twelve. Coming back has to be easy or nobody comes back.
What it costs
Three nights free. You pick a plan first and confirm it with your store account, and nothing is taken during those nights.
Then $12.99 a month, or $6.99 a week if you would rather go week to week. New practices go in every week and you get those.
It renews until you stop it, and you stop it in two taps from your App Store or Google Play account. Cancelling keeps your access to the end of the period you paid for.
The part we will not blur
This is not treatment and it is not therapy. It does not replace either one, and it is not a substitute for advice from a doctor.
If you take something a doctor prescribed, keep taking it and talk to your doctor. This is twelve minutes a night on top of whatever you already do. If you are in crisis, please contact your local emergency number or a crisis line in your country.
Questions people ask first
Do I need to know anything before I start?
No. Every practice is guided out loud. You do not have to know the names of anything.
How long does it actually take?
About twelve minutes at night. The three taps before it take about seven seconds. There is also a two minute one for the middle of the day and a short morning one, both optional.
What if I miss a day?
Nothing happens. Miss two evenings and the one after is four minutes instead of twelve, because coming back has to be easy or nobody comes back. There are no streaks to break and no badges to lose.
Is this meditation?
Some of it. There is also breathing, tensing and letting go, small movement, and light. Which one you get depends on your three numbers, not on what is fashionable.
Whose voice is it?
The practices are read by a synthetic voice, chosen so the pacing and the pauses stay exactly where they belong. The story on the app's first screen is mine, and so is everything written here. We would rather tell you than have you work it out.
Does it work without a connection?
After the first time, yes. A practice you have had before is kept on the phone and plays with no connection, which matters because the phone is often in aeroplane mode by then. The first one streams.
What happens to what I log?
Three numbers an evening, and that is all we keep. You can decline them at sign-up and still use the app, on a fixed order instead. Not sold, not shared. See Privacy, and you can wipe everything from this page or from inside the app.
