Kedge: Anxiety & Panic Relief

I have panic attacks. A kedge is a small anchor. You throw it ahead of you, then pull yourself toward it, hand over hand. That is what this app is for: something small to do with your breath, your hands, your attention, until the panic passes. I built it because I needed it. If it gets you through even once, it was worth making. - Mike SEVEN WAYS IN • Breathe. Let your breath set the pace. • Refocus. Give your mind one small thing to hold. • Affirm. Hear something kind, until it lands. • Move. Give the energy somewhere to go. • Reorder. Put small steps back in order. • Math. Trade the noise for numbers. • Fidget. Give your hands something to do. Open Kedge and it starts. There is no sign in, no setup, and no library to scroll while your hands are shaking. Pick a mode, or let Kedge pick one for you and just begin. WHAT'S FREE Seven packs, one for every mode, free forever and not on a trial: • 5-4-3-2-1, the five senses counted down • Sums, plain arithmetic one line at a time • Physiological Sigh, two breaths in and one long breath out • Your own voice, plain words to say out loud • Body Grounding, press and squeeze and settle • Small tasks, things you do with your hands, put back in order • Bubble wrap, a sheet of bubbles to pop You can also try every pack free for three days. They start only when you tap Start, and nothing is charged. The safety screen is free too, and always will be. Crisis lines, and a number you choose for someone you trust, one tap away. Nothing on that screen has ever been behind a purchase and nothing on it ever will be.

YOUR PHONE, AND NOWHERE ELSE Kedge has no account and no sign in. Your sessions, your settings and the number you saved stay on your device, because there is nowhere else for them to go. Nothing is collected, nothing is sold, and there is nothing about you stored anywhere for anyone to lose. It works with no signal at all. Everything is already on your phone. Built to be usable when you are not at your best: it honors Dynamic Type up to the accessibility sizes, works in light and dark, and can be driven entirely by VoiceOver. Kedge is not a substitute for professional care. Outside the US or Canada, search for your local crisis line.
