You know the feeling.You just can’t shift it.

One of these is you today.

3 pm

I’ve got nothing left and it’s only 3pm

The car park

I’m in the car park and I can’t go in

Home

I get home and I can’t calm down

Lights out

The baby’s asleep and I’m still wired

1 am

It’s 1am and I’m wide awake

Telling yourself to relax won’t change how you feel.

You can’t jump straight from wound up to calm. You come down in steps.

Arrive picks the steps for you, and in a few minutes it’s different. Doing it consistently becomes a habit.

Different mood, different set that adapts to your feedback.

Somatic exercises have been through randomised trials.Here is what they found.

More than 4,800 people, in controlled trials and meta-analyses. Here’s just a few of the findings.

Long exhalesBreathe out for longer than you breathe in

5 min a day beat meditation on mood

Exhale-led breathing improved mood and lowered breathing rate more than mindfulness meditation did, in a randomised trial over a month.

Slow ReleaseTighten a muscle group, then drop it

Most apps wait until you feel bad.Half of Arrive is for the good days.

A good hour goes by and you may hardly notice. Paying closer attention to good things can make them stick longer.

Savour ItBring back something good from today and stay with it
Soft GazeFind one thing near you worth looking at, and let your eyes stay
Look WideSoften your eyes and take in the widest thing you can see
Send WarmthWishing somebody else well puts your attention somewhere other than yourself
One Good ThingName one good thing from today, out loud or to yourself
One SongPut one song on and move however you like for the length of it
Walk OutsideTen minutes outside with your eyes on the distance

Focusing exclusively on bad days is only half a product.

We read the one-star reviews of somatic and breathwork apps.Then built the opposite.

Every complaint about somatic apps lands in one of three areas.

Charged me before the trial ended and I still can’t find how to cancel.

In Arrive, there is nothing to cancel. One practice a day of your choice is free forever, and if you want everything you pay once.

The AI coach is useless and I don’t want to chat.

There is no chatbot. Tap a word, get a practice. About three seconds vs an AI chat gimmick. Do you want to talk to the robot to feel better? We didn’t either.

Half of it is locked and the rest doesn’t work.

The free practice is one of your choice, a whole one and not a preview, and you can repeat it as often as you need that day.

A practice a day of your choice, free, for as long as you like. One payment unlocks the rest.

  • No subscription, ever
  • No account needed, no annoying marketing
  • Every practice we add later, included

Everything you’re about to ask.Answered straight.

I’ve tried apps like this and stopped using them.

Most people have. With Arrive one practice a day of your choice is free for as long as you like, so you decide after using it rather than before. No trial clock. No subscription to pressure you out of.

What if I don’t know what I’m feeling?

Give it your best guess. Nothing rides on getting it exactly right. At the end you say whether you feel better or worse and then Arrive remembers and surfaces ones that work more often.

Won’t I feel stupid doing this?

Some of them, yes. Much like the first time you did a press-up or a lunge. It wears off.

Do I need an Apple Watch?

No. Arrive works on an iPhone on its own. If you do wear something that measures heart-rate variability that syncs to an Apple Watch, an Oura ring, a Whoop, anything that writes to Apple Health then Arrive reads it and draws your recovery week by week.

Isn’t all of this free on YouTube?

Most of the exercises are, and we would rather say so. But searching takes longer than Arrive takes to pick, and a video cannot change what it gives you based on what worked for you last time. Most of those videos are ten minutes with eight of them talking. Arrive streamlines the process.
