About this app

Feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or struggling with racing thoughts? Meet Sway — your gentle audio companion for grounding and emotional regulation in hard moments, helping you return to the present.
Sway gently moves sound from your left ear to your right ear. This EMDR-inspired bilateral stimulation helps calm your nervous system, quiet your mind, and support you during moments of panic or overwhelm.
🎧 HOW IT WORKS: ADD MOTION TO YOUR OWN AUDIO
Unlike other apps that trap you in monotonous loops, Sway works perfectly with the music and podcasts you already love. Just put on your headphones, play your favorite audio on Spotify or YouTube, and let Sway add a soothing bilateral movement in the background.
★ COME BACK TO THE PRESENT (Grounding Exercises)
When tension rises, returning to the "here and now" is key. Use Sway's guided breathing exercises (like Box or 4-7-8) perfectly synced to the audio motion. Combine this with the 5-4-3-2-1 sensory grounding technique to anchor your mind and body.
★ INTERACTIVE GROUNDING EXERCISES (Pro)
Gentle, hands-on exercises that ride the same left-right bilateral rhythm to hold your attention in the present — no scores, no failure, no pressure. Notice which ear a soft cue came from (Right Side & Echo), draw a drifting light back to the center, tap on the out-breath as an orb breathes with you, name what you feel and let it drift away, follow light side-to-side attention tasks (Bilateral Sort, Mirror Tap, Focus Shift), or guide the sound between your ears yourself. And one-tap "Steady me" is always there for the hardest moments.
★ FEATURES DESIGNED FOR YOUR WELLBEING:
• Sound Studio: 13 pristine sounds including pink noise, rain, and calming Solfeggio frequencies (like 528Hz).
• EMDR-Inspired Motion: "Butterfly hug" style rhythms to help you self-soothe.
• Smart Timer: Auto-stops with a smooth fade-out and gently re-centers your audio.
• Haptic Feedback: Gentle vibrations that sync with the left-right audio motion.
• Full-Screen Mode: An immersive visual experience with calming backgrounds to reduce distractions.
★ FREE & PRO (Zero Subscriptions!)
The free plan includes 15 minutes of bilateral audio every day, and the grounding exercises and guided breathing are always unlimited. Upgrade to Sway PRO with a simple one-time purchase for unlimited session time, full sound customization and advanced Space 3D panning.
