Regulate your nervous system, in real-time.
Short, body-first games for when you're anxious, angry or shut down.
The response thatnever finished.
When your body senses threat, it surges with energy to fight or flee. An animal completes the cycle - it runs, shakes, and settles. You sit through the meeting, swallow the argument, keep scrolling. The surge never discharges - it's stored as tension, anxiety, and burnout until your body gets to finish what it started.
Find your state ↓Your body alreadyknows.
Stuck shows up differently in every body - anxious, frozen, or angry. Different states need different tools. regulate asks where you are, and hands you the one designed for it.
See the map ↓The window of tolerance
Too revved up, or too shut down. Either way you're outside the window. regulate asks where you are, then gives you a tool built for that side.
Stillness is a destination,not a starting point.
If you're outside the window, stillness isn't soothing - it's a lid on a boiling pot.
"Close your eyes and sit still."
- Same practice for every state
- Stillness first, always
- Racing mind? Try harder
- Works great - if you're already calm
"What state are you in?"
- Different tools for different states
- Movement and discharge before stillness
- Body first - the mind follows
- Meets activation with action
Sometimes you need discharge, grounding, and orientation before stillness is even possible. regulate starts with the question meditation apps skip.
You can't think your wayout of a body problem.
Willpower works top-down. Stress lives bottom-up - in your heart rate, your breath, your muscles. So regulate works bottom-up too: its breathwork follows a pattern tested in a randomized Stanford Medicine trial (BALBAN ET AL., CELL REPORTS MEDICINE, 2023), and its other tools draw on bilateral-stimulation research and long-standing somatic practice. Slow breathing shows up in the heart too: heart rate rises as you breathe in and falls as you breathe out (RUSSO ET AL., BREATHE, 2017).
Not meditation. Not mindfulness. Your body's built-in reset button.
