Calm Space

A quiet full-screen space to settle, breathe and ask for room.

← Help CentreWellbeing

A calm, low-stimulation full-screen space for when things feel like too much. It is a place to slow down and settle, at your own pace.

Opening the Calm Space

  • Open More → Calm Space, or tap the Calm Space card on the Feelings screen.
  • Opening it can quietly start a calm window that pauses your own reminders for a while, so nothing buzzes at you. Stay as long as you like.

What is inside

  • A slow breathing pacer — follow the circle, in as it grows and out as it shrinks.
  • Your What helps me toolbox, shown gently so your own ideas are right there.
  • Your own do and please-do-not reminders, if you have set up a calm plan.

Letting a grown-up know

  • Tap Let a grown-up know I need space to send a quiet, kind message to your chosen grown-ups.
  • It goes only to them — never to the family feed or anyone else.
  • When you are ready, tap I'm okay now to leave.

Setting up ahead of time

You can prepare a calm plan in advance, including how long to pause reminders and your own how-to-help reminders, so everything is ready before you need it.
