Settle

What it does

Settle is a pocket-sized set of tools for panic and anxiety relief, guided breathing, a 5-4-3-2-1 grounding exercise, a sleep wind-down tool, and step-by-step guides for specific triggers like flying, exams, and medical appointments. No account, no ads, and nothing leaves your device, Settle doesn't collect any personal data at all. The core tools (breathing, grounding, your emergency contact) are free, permanently.

Guided breathing, grounding, sleep tools, and situation guides for panic and anxiety — fast relief in seconds, with no sign-up required.

Panic doesn’t send a warning. It shows up mid-flight, before an exam, in an elevator, in the middle of the night — and it doesn’t care that you’re not ready. Settle is built for exactly those moments: fast, effective tools you can reach in seconds, with no sign-up flows, no clinical jargon, and none of the meditation-app cheerfulness that feels tone-deaf when you’re struggling to breathe. Guided breathing with adjustable patterns — including 4-4-4-4 box breathing for immediate relief and 4-7-8 for winding down — plus optional voice guidance and calming background sounds. A simple 5-4-3-2-1 sensory grounding exercise to pull your mind out of a spiral and back into…from 1984labs.dev

  SquairJan 2026 · squair.app · ▲162

  I built Squair because my phone was giving me anxiety - and it was also the only thing in my pocket when anxiety hit. The problem: 4 cups of coffee just to focus. Then the anxiety kicks in. Chest tight. Racing thoughts. Scrolling reels to "calm down" made it worse. I Googled "anxiety relief" at 2am and found box breathing — same technique Navy SEALs use in combat. First time I tried it, I felt the difference within 2 minutes. No crash. No pills. Just breathing. So I built an app around it. 6 months. Solo dev with a full-time job. 112 builds. 2 App Store rejections. Finally live. What it…

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
