Low Tide Calm is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you are in crisis, contact your local emergency services.

When you cannot switch off, Low Tide Calm is six practical tools in one app. Built for stressed, burnt out, or neurodivergent adults who need something they can actually reach for at 2am, not another meditation course to sign up for.

Breathwork that does not ask you to sit cross-legged. Crisis Protocol, grounding, and mindfulness-based resets for sensory overload. A dopamine menu for when you are frozen and cannot decide what to do. A one-tap daily check-in. No streaks. No guilt. No badges. No account. No subscription. No ads. No tracking. Works fully offline. Open it, use what you need, close it.

WHAT IS INSIDE

Breathe
Emergency Calm for one-tap 60-second relief. Quick routines for morning reset and pre-meeting calm. Full guided exercises including box breathing for focus, extended exhale for a reset, physiological sigh for fast calm, and 4-7-8 for winding down before sleep. Calming visual wave so you do not have to count in your head.

Regulate
Crisis Protocol for meltdown, shutdown, or panic. 5-4-3-2-1 grounding, a sensory menu, and Steady Focus, a quiet co-working timer (sometimes called body doubling) for tasks you cannot start alone. Optional cold water, movement, and grounding suggestions. Practical, physical, immediate.

Dopamine Menu
Dozens of low-barrier activity ideas filtered by energy level and browsable by category: movement, creative, social, sensory. For the gap between knowing you need to do something and being unable to start. Tap for a random suggestion or browse the list. Add your own.

Check-In
A daily one-tap check-in with options including overwhelmed, shutdown, anxious, wired, and calm. Seven-day rolling history so you can spot patterns over time. No streaks. No badges. No guilt if you miss a day.

Home
A calm landing screen that does not demand anything from you. Immediate access to crisis support and nervous system check-in. No nagging. Just the tools, when you need them.

Journal
A minimal space for quick notes or reflections. No prompts, no mood scoring, no gamification. Just a place to write. Stored only on your device.

WHO IT IS FOR

Adults navigating stress, burnout, anxious moments, overwhelm, or attention difficulties who want support without fluff. Designed to be accessible for neurodivergent users and those with ADHD. Not a treatment for any condition.

Not a meditation streak app. Not a therapy replacement. Not a productivity tracker in disguise.

HOW IT IS DIFFERENT

No ads. No in-app purchases. No subscription. No account required. No paywall. Every tool is available immediately. Works fully offline. Your data stays on your device. Also available on the Amazon Appstore and the Microsoft Store.

PRIVACY

The app itself collects no personal data. No analytics. No crash reporting. No third-party tracking SDKs are embedded in the app. Your check-ins, journal entries, and preferences are stored locally on your device. Settings include a Hide Journal toggle for shared-phone privacy and an optional Return to Home idle timer so a sensitive screen does not sit visible if you walk away. See our privacy policy for full details on hosting and data processing.
