CalmAnchor: Panic Attack Help
Anxiety Relief & Box Breathing
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Panic attack? One tap into grounding and guided breathing. New in 2.0: Apple Watch app, Action Button and Siri, haptic breathing and voice guidance.
Having a panic attack? Tap once.
CalmAnchor opens straight into Panic SOS from a Lock Screen widget: 5-4-3-2-1 grounding, then six slow guided breaths with a live countdown in your Dynamic Island. Rate how intense it feels before and after, and watch it come down.
Then it helps you need it less. Check in on your mood, follow a 30-day plan built around your triggers, and earn your way up the ranks as calm becomes a habit.
