Four guided breathwork exercises with a wave animation to pace your breath. Box breathing, physiological sigh, 4-7-8, and slow exhale. Use them any time, no guidance needed once you know them.

Crisis protocols, grounding techniques, and a sensory menu for moments of overwhelm, shutdown, or acute stress. Structured and practical, not vague.

Forty low-effort activities to support mood and motivation. Random picker included. Add your own. Built with ADHD and neurodivergent nervous systems in mind, but useful for anyone.

Check-In

A simple daily mood and energy log with a seven-day history. No analysis, no pressure. Just a way to notice patterns over time.

Who it suits

Built for ADHD, anxiety, burnout and overwhelm.

This app was built for people who already know they need to regulate but struggle to remember what to do when they are in it. People who find generic wellness apps either overwhelming or useless. People with ADHD, anxiety, burnout, or high stress who want something practical, private, and always to hand.

It sits alongside the one-to-one breathwork and mindfulness programme but it stands alone too. You do not need to be a client to use it.

If you are a therapist looking for tools to share with clients, or an HR or wellbeing professional considering resources for your organisation, Low Tide Calm has dedicated information for therapists and organisations and HR teams.

Good to know

Common questions answered.

What is a web app and how do I install it?
A web app is a website that installs and behaves like a native app on your phone, without going through an app store. On iPhone, open the link in Safari, tap the Share button at the bottom of the screen, then tap Add to Home Screen. On Android, open the link in Chrome, tap the three-dot menu in the top right, then tap Add to Home Screen or Install App. The icon will appear on your home screen like any other app and opens in full screen with no browser bar.
Does it work offline?
The web version needs an internet connection the first time you open it, so it can load and cache to your device. After that first visit it works fully offline. The Google Play version, coming soon, works completely offline from the moment it is installed, with no initial connection needed.
Is it available on Google Play?
Not yet, but it is coming soon. In the meantime you can install it directly from your phone browser in under a minute without needing an app store at all. On iPhone tap Share then Add to Home Screen. On Android tap the three-dot menu then Install App. It works exactly like a native app once installed.
Is it suitable for people with ADHD?
Yes. The app was designed with ADHD and neurodivergent nervous systems in mind. The Dopamine Menu offers low-effort activities to support mood and motivation when executive function is low. All tools are reachable in two taps with no reading or setup required when you are already dysregulated. The Regulate tab also includes tools specifically useful for demand avoidance and sensory overwhelm.
Is my data private?
Yes, completely. The app stores everything directly on your device using your browser's local storage. Your check-in history, mood logs, and any custom entries you add never leave your phone. They are not sent to a server, not collected, and not accessible to anyone else, including Low Tide Calm.
Do I need to create an account?
No. There is no account, no sign-up, and no email address required. Open the link and use it.
Will I lose my data if I clear my browser?
Yes. Because the app stores your check-in history and custom entries in local storage on your device, clearing your browser cache or storage will remove them. Your breathwork tools, grounding protocols, and the dopamine menu defaults are built into the app itself and are not affected.
Can I use it on more than one device?
Yes, but each installation is independent. Data does not sync between devices. Your check-in history on your phone will not appear on your laptop, and the other way around.
Is it really free?
Yes, completely free. No trial, no premium tier, no hidden cost. If you find it useful and want to support the work, there are optional ways to do that on this page, but there is no obligation and the app does not change either way.

Free. No catch.

The app is free for everyone. No account, no sign-up, no subscription. Open it in your browser and add it to your home screen in under a minute.
