Now in early access
Anchor reads your wearable in real time and steps in at the exact moment you need it - before anxiety, overwhelm, or anger runs the show.
Anchor is for anyone who has ever felt their body getting ahead of them - and wished something would step in before the moment was already gone.
Every tool in this space either waits for you to come to it, or watches without acting. Anchor is the only thing that steps in automatically - personalised, in real time, without you doing anything.

Anger. Overwhelm. Panic. Shutdown. Anchor catches them in real time - not after the fact, not at your next scheduled check-in. The second the data moves, your wrist knows.
Replies always include a neutral option. When you reply that you’re fine, Anchor learns your context and recalibrates - getting more accurate over time.
Most apps wait for you to pick up your phone. Anchor fires simultaneously to your wearable and your phone - whether you’re on iPhone or Android, Apple Watch or Galaxy Watch or Garmin. Phone in your bag, in another room, doesn’t matter.
Anchor doesn’t run on population averages. It builds a model of you - your specific baselines, your emotional signatures, the patterns that show up in your data and nowhere else. Every 60 days, something new unlocks.
Not everyone wants the same thing from an app like this. Some people want warmth and follow-up. Some just want the data and a single prompt. Anchor adapts to how you want to be reached.
Switch modes any time in settings. Anchor saves your preference per-device too - phone and watch can be set differently.
Not every signal is an emergency. Anchor speaks in haptics - five distinct patterns your body learns to read. Click any level to hear the sound.
All patterns are fully customisable. Adjust sensitivity, swap sounds, retune thresholds. Anchor adapts to how you want to be reached.
No new hardware. Works on iPhone and Android. No wearable yet? Phone sensors alone are enough to get started.
