The single screen between you and calm.
Ten tools for the moments you need calm right now, and the quieter days in between. No account, no sign-up, and nothing you log ever leaves your phone.
Always free. Always one tap away.
Four tools built for the moment you need them most, not the moment you have time to set them up.
Breathing Pacer
Box breathing, 4-7-8, the physiological sigh, Wim Hof, or a pattern you build yourself.
Panic Attack Timer
A calm visual countdown with grounding reassurance text. Not a race against the clock, a curve that always comes back down.
5-4-3-2-1 Grounding
The classic sensory walk-through, with a gentler 3-2-1 mode for milder moments.
Sensory Reset Kit
White noise, brown noise, and a breathing tone for sensory overload, with edge-swipe controls for one-handed use.
For the days in between.
Ten tools total. The other six are for the quieter days, not just the hard ones.
Mood-Energy Matrix
A one-tap grid instead of a mood diary. See your patterns over time, never judged, never red.
Sleep Cycle Calculator
Pick a wake time or bedtime and get options aligned to 90-minute sleep cycles.
CBT Cognitive Distortion Cards
15 common thinking traps, in plain language, each with a gentle reframe question.
Shame-Free Habit Tracker
Up to 7 habits, a 12-week heatmap, and a weekly count instead of a streak that breaks.
Hydration & Mood Correlator
Log water and a quick mood check, and see whether the two move together over time.
One-Line Gratitude Logger
One field, 280 characters, autosaves as you type. Nothing to fill out, nothing to finish.
Private by default, not by promise.
Every tool above works fully offline. There's no account, no server, and no analytics SDK for anything to send data to, even if it wanted to.

Questions people actually ask
Is Respite really free?▼
Yes. Every crisis tool and every daily tool is free forever. Respite+ is an optional one-time unlock for small delights (an AMOLED theme, extra breathing pattern slots); it never gates anything that helps in a hard moment.
Does it need an internet connection?▼
No. Every tool works fully offline. The only network use anywhere in the app is the optional Respite+ purchase, handled entirely by Google Play Billing.
Do I need to create an account?▼
No. There's no login anywhere in the app, and there never will be.
What happens to my data?▼
It stays on your device, in a local database, until you export or delete it yourself. See the Privacy Policy for the complete picture.
Can I get my data out?▼
Yes, anytime. Settings → Export & Data lets you export any tool as CSV, everything as one JSON backup, or a one-page printable summary to bring to a therapist.
Is Respite a substitute for therapy?▼
No. It's a self-help toolkit, not a medical device or emergency service. If you're in crisis or in danger, contact your local emergency number or a crisis hotline.
