Who it suits

Built for ADHD, anxiety, burnout and overwhelm.

If you have ADHD or a neurodivergent nervous system and find standard wellness apps either overwhelming or useless, this was made for you. The tools are reachable in two taps, require no reading when you are dysregulated, and were designed specifically around how ADHD and anxiety actually behave, not how clinicians assume they do. The Dopamine Menu filters by energy level when you cannot choose, and Body Doubling gives you a virtual focus companion for the tasks that feel impossible alone.

It also suits anyone managing chronic stress, burnout, or high-pressure work who needs something practical, private, and always to hand. You do not need to be a client to use it, and it stands alone independently of any programme.

If you are a therapist looking for tools to share with clients, or an HR or wellbeing professional considering resources for your organisation, Low Tide Calm has dedicated information for therapists and organisations and HR teams.

Good to know

Common questions answered.

What is a web app and how do I install it?
A web app is a website that installs and behaves like a native app on your phone, without going through an app store. On iPhone, open the link in Safari, tap the Share button at the bottom of the screen, then tap Add to Home Screen. On Android, open the link in Chrome, tap the three-dot menu in the top right, then tap Add to Home Screen or Install App. The icon will appear on your home screen like any other app and opens in full screen with no browser bar.
Does it work offline?
The web version needs an internet connection the first time you open it, so it can load and cache to your device. After that first visit it works fully offline. The Google Play version, coming soon, works completely offline from the moment it is installed, with no initial connection needed.
Is it available on Google Play?
Not yet, but it is coming soon. In the meantime you can install it directly from your phone browser in under a minute without needing an app store at all. On iPhone tap Share then Add to Home Screen. On Android tap the three-dot menu then Install App. It works exactly like a native app once installed.
Is it suitable for people with ADHD?
Yes. The app was designed with ADHD and neurodivergent nervous systems in mind. The Dopamine Menu offers low-effort activities to support mood and motivation when executive function is low, filtered by energy level so you are not overwhelmed with choice. All tools are reachable in two taps with no reading or setup required when you are already dysregulated. The Regulate tab also includes tools for demand avoidance and sensory overwhelm.
Is my data private?
Yes, completely. The app stores everything directly on your device using your browser's local storage. Your check-in history, mood logs, journal entries, and any custom entries you add never leave your phone. They are not sent to a server, not collected, and not accessible to anyone else, including Low Tide Calm.
Do I need to create an account?
No. There is no account, no sign-up, and no email address required. Open the link and use it.
Will I lose my data if I clear my browser?
Yes. Because the app stores your check-in history, journal entries and custom entries in local storage on your device, clearing your browser cache or storage will remove them. Your breathwork tools, grounding protocols, and the dopamine menu defaults are built into the app itself and are not affected.
Can I use it on more than one device?
Yes, but each installation is independent. Data does not sync between devices. Your check-in history on your phone will not appear on your laptop, and the other way around.
Is it really free?
Yes, completely free. No trial, no premium tier, no hidden cost. If you find it useful and want to support the work, there are optional ways to do that on this page, but there is no obligation and the app does not change either way.

Free. No catch.

The app is free for everyone. No account, no sign-up, no subscription. Open it in your browser and add it to your home screen in under a minute.
