Everything you need to stay calm
Real-time Stress Detection
Calm Buddy monitors your HRV and heart rate through connected wearables to detect rising stress levels before you even notice. When it senses tension building, it proactively suggests a micro-intervention — a 60-second breathing exercise or a quick grounding technique — to stop anxiety before it escalates.
Guided Breathing Exercises
Choose from box breathing, 4-7-8, coherent breathing, and more. Calm Buddy adapts the pace and duration to your current stress level and guides you through each session with visual or voice cues. Over time, it learns which patterns calm you fastest.
Progressive Muscle Relaxation
Follow voice-guided PMR sessions that systematically tense and release muscle groups to melt physical tension. Calm Buddy offers quick 5-minute routines for busy moments and longer 20-minute deep relaxation sessions for winding down.
Cognitive Reframing Conversations
When anxious thoughts spiral, Calm Buddy walks you through evidence-based cognitive reframing techniques. It gently challenges distorted thinking patterns, helps you identify triggers, and guides you toward balanced perspectives — all through natural conversation.
Frequently asked questions
How does Calm Buddy detect my stress levels?
Calm Buddy reads heart rate variability (HRV) and resting heart rate from connected wearables like Garmin, Oura, Apple Watch, and Whoop. A drop in HRV or a sustained rise in heart rate signals increasing stress. When Calm Buddy detects these patterns, it proactively suggests a micro-intervention tailored to your preferences.
Is Calm Buddy a replacement for therapy?
No. Calm Buddy is a wellness tool designed to help you manage everyday stress and anxiety through evidence-based techniques like breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, and cognitive reframing. It is not a substitute for professional mental health treatment. If you are experiencing severe anxiety or a mental health crisis, please consult a licensed professional.
What breathing techniques are available?
Calm Buddy offers box breathing (4-4-4-4), the 4-7-8 technique, coherent breathing (5.5 breaths per minute), diaphragmatic breathing, and alternate nostril breathing. It adapts the pace and duration based on your current stress level and learns which techniques work best for you over time.
Can I use Calm Buddy through voice?
Yes. Calm Buddy supports both text chat and real-time voice conversations. Voice mode is ideal for guided breathing and muscle relaxation sessions — just tell Calm Buddy what you need and follow along hands-free.
