Works offline
No internet required after the first load. No account. No analytics, no crash reporting, no third-party tracking. Everything runs on your device.
Built for real moments
Designed for the moments when you are already dysregulated and need to act fast, not scroll through menus or read instructions.
Built for ADHD and neurodivergent brains
Neurodivergent-informed and practically designed. If you want to go deeper, the one-to-one programme builds on these tools with personalised support.
Six tools. One app.
Breathe
Emergency Calm for one-tap 60-second relief, quick routines for morning reset and pre-meeting, and full breathing exercises including box breathing and 4-7-8. Use them any time, no guidance needed once you know them.
Regulate
Crisis Protocol for meltdown, shutdown or panic, 5-4-3-2-1 grounding, a sensory menu, and Steady Focus, sometimes called body doubling: a timer with optional check-ins and gentle affirmations, not a live person. Structured and practical, not vague.
Dopamine Menu
Activities filtered by energy level and browseable by category: movement, creative, social, sensory. Built specifically for ADHD and neurodivergent nervous systems. Random picker included. Add your own.
Check-In
Log your current state from options including overwhelmed, shutdown, anxious, wired and calm. Seven-day history so you can spot patterns over time. No analysis, no pressure.
Home
A calm starting point with immediate access to crisis support and nervous system check-in. No dashboard, no notifications, no gamification.
Journal
A quiet space for quick thoughts. No prompts, no rules. Stored locally on your device and never sent anywhere.
Built for ADHD, anxiety, burnout and overwhelm.
If you have ADHD or a neurodivergent nervous system and find standard wellness apps either overwhelming or useless, this was made for you. The tools are reachable in two taps, require no reading when you are dysregulated, and were designed specifically around how ADHD and anxiety actually behave, not how clinicians assume they do. The Dopamine Menu filters by energy level when you cannot choose, and Steady Focus gives you a structured timer with calm visual pacing for the tasks that feel impossible alone.
It also suits anyone managing chronic stress, burnout, or high-pressure work who needs something practical, private, and always to hand. You do not need to be a client to use it, and it stands alone independently of any programme.
Low Tide Calm is not a meditation streak app. Not a therapy replacement. Not a productivity tracker in disguise. Open it, use what you need, close 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.
