Low Tide Calm

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 five 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. 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 with 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
Four guided breathing exercises with a calming visual wave. Box breathing for focus, extended exhale for a reset, physiological sigh for fast calm, and 4-7-8 for winding down before sleep. Follow the wave. No counting in your head.

Regulate
Grounding tools, calming prompts, mindfulness-based sensory reset exercises, 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 for when you feel stuck, flat, or frozen. Tap for a random suggestion or browse the list. Add your own. For the gap between knowing you need to do something and being unable to start.

Check-In
A daily one-tap check-in with a short rolling history. Track patterns without journalling, scoring, or turning self-awareness into homework. No streaks. No badges. No guilt if you miss a day.

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.

Home
A calm landing screen that does not demand anything from you. No nagging. Just the tools, when you need them.

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 including people with ADHD and autism. 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.

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.
