Lia now knows you. Personalized greetings, curated phrases, post-session rating and auto insights. No accounts, no cloud.
Avelia is here when anxiety or panic show up.
When you're in crisis you can't think clearly. That's why Avelia opens fast at "I need to calm down", guides you step by step, and respects absolute privacy: zero network, zero accounts, zero analytics. All your information stays encrypted on your device.
What you can do:
- Practice breathing techniques (4-7-8, Box, Diaphragmatic), grounding 5-4-3-2-1, a fast 3-3-3 variant (60 sec), and TIPP crisis techniques with guided rhythm and soft haptics
- Try reflective practices: 3-step self-compassion (based on Kristin Neff), ACT defusion (write a thought, watch it drift away as a cloud), or a quick mood log
- Ask for help with one tap from the Home Screen or Lock Screen widget, without opening the app
- Learn with 13 short reads on anxiety physiology, self-compassion and ACT
- Log episodes with duration, intensity, triggers, notes and pre/post mood
- Tap an always-visible SOS button for immediate crisis support
Lia now knows you (v1.5):
- Optionally tell Avelia your name and how you'd like to be addressed — copy adapts live
- Daily curated phrase with real clinical sources (Kristin Neff, ACT, CBT). Heart-tap to favorite
- Optionally rate each session: "did it help?" + "how do you feel now?". The app surfaces your most effective technique automatically
Meet Lia:
Lia is Avelia's character — a leaf with expressions who appears in the key emotional moments. She greets you by name when you open the app, walks you through breathing and grounding sessions, and at the end of a TIPP crisis she hugs you instead of celebrating. Empathy over victory. In v1.5 she speaks to you through speech bubbles in the important moments.
Real privacy:
- Your data is encrypted with AES-256-GCM on your device
- No servers, no sync, no accounts
- No analytics, no tracking, no ads
- PIN + Face ID/Touch ID + auto-lock when you close the app
- Your profile and favorite phrases stay on-device, never synced
