Adaptive check-ins

Noticing a loop?
You've been quiet for a while. No pressure—just checking in.

What it does
Small, well-timed help—nothing more.
Grounding actions
A personal toolkit of small, practical ways to change the channel—so a difficult moment has somewhere else to go.
Private by design
Your check-ins and health-derived insights stay on your device. Not therapy. Not surveillance. Just a signal in the static.
Not therapy. Not surveillance. Just a well-timed signal.
Loop Breaker is a private, on-device companion. It catches the moment a loop begins and helps you reach for something grounding—then gets out of your way.
Body-Aware mode
It notices the shift before you say a word.
Optional Body-Aware mode uses heart-rate and HRV signals from Apple Health to notice meaningful changes in your baseline— quietly, imperfectly, and without pretending your watch is a mind reader. You stay in control, and the data never leaves your device.
The LoopBreaker method01 02 03
Body. Facts. Next move.
A stress loop can turn one real problem into six predicted ones. LoopBreaker does not ask you to pretend the problem is fine. It helps you get the alarm back to the size of the current situation.
Settle the body
Release one place you are bracing, slow the breath without forcing it, or orient to what is physically around you.
Check the facts
Separate what has actually happened from the sequels your alarm is writing. The feeling is real. The prediction may be an old pattern.
Make one move
Send one clear sentence, open one document, write one question, or decide when you will look again. Visible beats enormous.
