The panic relief app
for when it hits.
When panic, anxiety, anger, or overwhelm rises, Bao breathes with you. Press once and a guided session takes it from there.

Real screens from the app — dark, quiet, and calming by design, made to be usable right in the moment.
Why Bao
One companion, tuned four ways
The hard feelings aren’t the same, so the breathing isn’t either. Each mode has its own pace, words, and feel.
Anger
Cooling, with a longer exhale to drain the heat.
Anxiety
The gentle default — grounding and reassuring.
Panic
The softest on-ramp — no holds, no haptics, nothing extra.
Overwhelm
Low-stimulation, pared back to almost nothing.
How it works
Three steps, almost no effort
Tap once
One button starts a guided session. No setup, no account, nothing to read first.
Follow Bao
A breathing ring and a soft companion move with your inhale and exhale. The session runs on its own.
Come back
When it finishes, you step back into your day a little steadier. Return any time it hits again.
Beyond the rescue
Build the calm, a few minutes at a time
The rescue breath is always there for the hard moments. A small daily practice makes the calm come a little easier the next time you need it.
Progress
No pressure, just noticing
A sample of the in-app Progress screen · your check-ins and notes stay on your device.
Everything inside
Built to be usable when it’s hardest
Four tuned modes
Anger, anxiety, panic, and overwhelm each get their own pace, copy, and feel.
Panic fast-lane
One tap jumps straight into the gentlest pattern when there's no time to choose.
Free rescue core
The core breathing and grounding are free in every mode — the part you reach for mid-moment.
Calm by design
Dark, quiet, portrait-only. Colors chosen to settle you, not mirror the feeling.
Daily practice
Build a small, steady habit so the calm comes easier when you actually need it.
Scenes & insights
Breathe inside calm scenes like Night Meadow or Quiet Beach, and notice your patterns.

FAQ
Good questions
Is the breathing free?
Yes. The rescue core — the default breathing technique plus grounding — is free in every mode, with no account required. Daily practice is free too. Pro adds the fuller technique library, calm scenes, a longer Reset, and insights over time.
Does it work mid-panic?
It's built for exactly that. The whole experience is one tap and a session that runs itself, so there's nothing to read or decide. The panic fast-lane drops you straight into the gentlest pattern.
Is this therapy?
No. Bao is a calming companion for the moment — a self-soothing tool, not therapy, medical advice, or a crisis service. It sits alongside real support rather than replacing it.
What does Pro cost?
Bao is free to download and the rescue core stays free forever. Pro adds the fuller toolkit, and the annual plan starts with a one-month free trial. Prices vary by country, so you'll see your exact local price in the app before anything is charged.
Next time it rises, you’ll have something to press.
