For the moment it all gets too much
Tap how you feel and Reset Buddy gives you the reset that fits: guided breathing, a body and senses reset with a calm voice, a creative reset for a busy mind, or a sleep story for 3am. Two to five minutes, wherever you are.

What do you need right now?
Most of us only have two words for how we feel: "stressed" and "fine". Reset Buddy starts by helping you find the real one, because that's what tells you what will help. Try it: tap the word closest to how you feel.
Everyone needs something from you, and there is nothing left for you.

How are you right now?
Tap the word closest to how you feel. Naming it is the first step of every reset.
Everything inside
Every tool you'd usually need four apps for, matched to how you feel right now, for about $1.54 a week on the yearly plan.
Resets matched to your feeling
Nine feeling families and 54 everyday words, so you can name what's really going on. Then a guided reset built for that exact feeling: settle your body, shift your attention, take one small step.
Nervous system resets
When your body is wired and your head won't listen, start with your body. Short resets you can feel, see and hear, talked through in one of four calm voices.
Guided breathing
The screen shows you when to breathe in, hold and breathe out, and counts each round for you. Follow an orb, a sun, a wave or a square.
Creative resets
Colour, draw or settle into a quiet puzzle. Absorbing your hands and eyes gives a busy mind somewhere better to go, and there's no way to do it wrong.
Start my day and End my day
A few breaths and one clear intention before the day asks anything of you. At night, empty your head, let the day drift and breathe your way down.
Sleep and calm sounds
Slow sleep stories where nothing much happens, in four voices. A Can't sleep mode on a dark, warm screen for when you're lying awake. White, pink and brown noise, rain and nature, with a timer.
Steady yourself and set boundaries
Make a bounce-back plan: when I notice this, I will do that. Check in with your body, feeling and needs. And when someone keeps crossing a line, find the words to say it clearly and kindly.
And there's more
"Sometimes life gets too overwhelming and I get frustrated and anxious, but Reset Buddy has helped me identify my emotions, with breathing exercises guiding me to find calm and clarity. I'm far away from home and from my mom, who is my support system, and I am so thankful that I have found myself a support system in my pocket. This is the most refreshing platform that focuses on wellbeing, instead of doom scrolling adding more stress."
How a reset works
Every reset follows the same path: calm the body first, then give the mind something better to do, then leave with one small step. What you do in each step depends on the feeling you named.
Step 1 · 10 sec
Tap the feeling on the wheel, then the word that fits best.
In lab studies, putting a feeling into words calmed the brain's alarm response.
Step 2 · 1 to 1.5 min
Breathe with a moving figure: two breaths in, one long breath out.
A long, slow out-breath is one of the best-studied ways to lower stress.
Step 3 · 1 to 3 min
A calm, hands-on activity matched to your feeling: colour, draw, a quiet puzzle, move, hand on heart, tapping, or a slow pattern to follow with your eyes.
Absorbing your hands and eyes gives a busy mind somewhere better to go.
Step 4 · 30 sec
Choose one small next thing, or a few words to carry with you.
Making one specific plan makes you more likely to actually follow through.

Two and a half minutes, every feature: the one-minute reset, resets matched to how you feel, breathing, body and senses resets, Start and End my day, creative resets, sounds, sleep stories and more. Sound on.
Built on research, honest about it
Slow breathing, naming feelings, absorbing your hands and eyes, simple if-then plans. Each one has been studied, and our science page grades the evidence behind every reset, including where it's still early.
Read the science behind every resetOne word
In a UCLA brain-imaging study, choosing a word for a feeling reduced activity in the amygdala, the brain's threat detector, and increased activity in a region linked to regulation.
Lieberman et al., 2007, Psychological Science
A week later
People afraid of spiders who put their feelings into words during exposure showed less physical fear a week later than those who didn't. (How afraid they said they felt didn't differ.)
Kircanski, Lieberman & Craske, 2012, Psychological Science
306 experiments
Across 306 experiments, turning attention to something else helped people manage emotions, while dwelling on the feeling made it worse. So every reset moves from naming the feeling to doing something.
Webb, Miles & Sheeran, 2012, Psychological Bulletin
What we'll never do
Across 38 studies, game elements didn't make mental-health apps work better or keep people coming back. Missing a day never undoes anything here.

Questions
No. It's a self-help tool for everyday hard moments, built from techniques that have been studied in research. It doesn't diagnose or treat anything. If you're struggling a lot of the time, please talk to a doctor or a qualified therapist. If you're in danger right now, use Urgent help or call your local emergency number.
Five minutes, which is the best-supported length for calming breathing. There's a two-minute version for busy moments, and a free one-minute reset for when you only have a minute.
No. You tap a feeling on the wheel and the app does the rest. The evening mind dump is the only writing, and nothing you type there is saved.
3 days, or 7 days if a creator or partner gave you their code or link. We email you the day before your free days end, and if Reset Buddy is helping, you choose a plan then: $4.99 a week, $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year. If you don't choose a plan, nothing is charged.
It's for everyone. There's an optional faith layer with Christian breath prayers and Scripture from the Berean Standard Bible. You choose whether to switch it on, and you can change your mind any time.
Your history is visible only to you, and you can delete it at any time. The drawings and the mind dump are never saved.
Reset Buddy runs in your phone's browser, so there's nothing to download. After your first reset we show you how to add it to your home screen, so it opens like any other app.
Please don't wait. Urgent help lists crisis lines and is free for everyone, any time.
