Reclaim the hours that matter most. This release introduces scheduled digital detox — pick the apps, sites, or categories that you want a break from, choose the times of day, and Neurise quietly keeps them out of reach until your app-free window ends. Less reaching for your phone, more time for you.

Countdown to Get You Ready * Focus and breathwork sessions now begin with a countdown, giving you a moment to settle before the session starts. * Each countdown tick now has a subtle haptic pulse, keeping you grounded without breaking your focus. Reflection Journal Prompts The journal now surfaces reflection prompts tailored to the type of entry you're writing, helping you go deeper when you want to. Polish & Fixes * Improved readability of the focus timer and time breakdown in dark mode * Smoother breathwork exit flow

THREE NEW WAYS TO FEEL BETTER Stressed? Distracted? Ruminating? We built tools for that—backed by peer-reviewed research, not influencer trends. --- BREATHWORK Calm your nervous system in 2-5 minutes. Four techniques, each with guided animations and haptic feedback: • Cyclic Sighing — Stanford researchers found this specific pattern beat mindfulness meditation for mood improvement • Box Breathing — Used by Navy SEALs and elite athletes for instant composure • 4-7-8 — The bedtime breathing technique that reduces pre-sleep anxiety • Extended Exhale — The simplest hack: breathe out longer than you breathe in. Your body does the rest Track your sessions. See the science. Build the habit. --- FOCUS SESSIONS Protect your attention. Get more done. Research shows task-switching costs you 23 minutes of recovery—every single time. Our focus tools help you stay in the zone: • Pomodoro (25/5) — Validated in 32 studies with 5,270 participants • Deep Work (90 min) — For complex problems requiring sustained thought • Progressive — Adapts duration to your actual focus level • Plus 3 more patterns for different work styles Add ambient sounds: brown noise for blocking distractions, rain for calm focus, coffee shop for creative energy. Track focused minutes. Build streaks. See your progress. --- JOURNALING 195 prompts. Zero blank page anxiety. We curated prompts from positive psychology and cognitive behavioral therapy—the techniques therapists actually recommend: • Gratitude — "Three good things and why they happened" (research shows the 'why' is crucial) • Reframe — Challenge negative thoughts with structured CBT questions • Self-Compassion — What would you tell a friend? Now tell yourself • Expressive Writing — Deep processing for difficult experiences (with safety guidance) • Plus 10 more categories Micro mode (2-5 min) for busy days. Deep mode (15-20 min) for real processing. All entries private and encrypted by default. --- Breathe. Focus. Reflect. The science-backed toolkit for your mental clarity.
