Somatic is a consumer iOS app for nervous-system regulation. Not somatic therapy. Not a wearable. Not another meditation library.
Somatic measures your heart rhythm before and after short evidence-anchored practices, then shows you — with your own data — which ones move the needle. No verdicts. No vibes.
90 seconds, seated, still. No hardware. iPhone only for now.

The problem
You already know the drill. A meditation app sits half-finished on your phone. Your watch tells you your HRV every morning and you have no idea what to do with the number. You've done breathwork on TikTok, bought the hardware clip that's now in a drawer, paid for a subscription you forgot to cancel.
A year later, you still snap at people you love. You still can't wind down at night. And you still can't tell what — if anything — was actually working.
Either it's not landing for your body, or none of it actually works — and you have no way to tell which.
The thing none of those apps gave you was the one thing that would have settled it: a measurement loop honest enough to prove what's helping your body and what isn't.
How the loop works
Same posture, same time of day, every morning. Your phone camera reads your pulse and computes RMSSD — the time-domain HRV metric that holds up against ECG at rest. You see today's reading against your personal rolling baseline. Not "you're stressed." Just "38 ms — inside your normal range of 32–46. Readiness: moderate."
Somatic looks at your goal, the time of day, where today's reading sits in your range, and your recent check-ins, then recommends a single 3–5 minute protocol — slow-paced breathing, HRV biofeedback, an extended-exhale pattern, a grounding sequence, or a gentle somatic movement. One practice. Not a catalog to scroll.
You see the actual delta in your physiology. "RMSSD up 12%. Your nervous system responded to this one." Some weeks the practice lands. Some weeks it doesn't. You stop guessing.
And every 7–14 days, Somatic re-administers PSS-10 and GAD-7 — the validated stress and anxiety questionnaires clinicians have used for decades. You watch the score line move. Or not. That's the proof.
What makes Somatic different
Your HRV doesn't get a thumbs up or thumbs down. Every reading is shown against your own rolling 7-, 14-, and 30-day baseline, with a confidence band. Your number is yours. We compare you to you.
Twenty seconds before, twenty seconds after. You see the practice's effect on your physiology in real time, the same morning you did it. The work either moves your body or it doesn't, and you find out today — not in six months.
PSS-10 and GAD-7 aren't our scores. They're the validated self-report instruments used in stress and anxiety research. We re-administer them every 7–14 days and show you the line. Your stress score is moving, or it isn't. No internal app score we made up.
"But wait —"
Three scans across onboarding to establish your personal range. A short PSS-10 and GAD-7 to anchor where you are today. Then your first matched practice — and the first pre/post delta in your own data.
