Calm in 60 seconds.
A quiet menu-bar companion for your Mac. It watches the rhythm of your day, then nudges you to breathe right before stress takes hold.
No wearables. No health data. Just your Mac.
No Apple Health. No Oura. No Apple Watch. Niyora reads what your computer already shows about your day, then nudges you at the right moment. The whole system is built on research that maps work patterns to stress and recovery.
You already have a device that knows when you're working hard. We use that, nothing else.
We never ask for heart rate, sleep, steps, or any health information. There is no integration to opt into.
The signals we read map to validated stress and recovery findings, not guesswork.
Five rings. Fourteen practices. The app grows with you.
Every session lights up your soul. As you keep practicing, your ring fills and the next tier opens, unlocking new techniques and deeper sounds. You don't get a streak counter. You get a quiet sense of arrival.
Fourteen practices in total. Pranayama breathing rooted in yoga. Mindfulness moments grounded in CBT and self-compassion. Each session paired with ambient sound that fades in as you start and out as you finish.
Every practice has a paper behind it.
No mystic claims. Just techniques validated in peer-reviewed research, clearly cited so you can read the source.
Nothing leaves your Mac. Ever.
Most wellness apps want your account, your data, and a server log of your worst days. Niyora wants none of it.
No accounts
Open the app. Start breathing. That is the entire onboarding.
No telemetry
The app makes zero outbound network requests of its own. Verifiable in source.
Local storage
Sessions and check-ins live in your app container. Never read off-device.
Open source
Read every line on GitHub. Trust through transparency, not promises.
"I'm a doctor in the Indian system of medicine. Studying yoga and then working in tech, I felt the gap every day. The slow, time-tested practices that actually shift the nervous system, almost never make it into the rhythm of a working day. I built Niyora for myself first. Now I'm sharing it with you."
We don't want your money. We don't want your data. Just tell us how you feel.
Most apps ask for both. We know how stressful that feels. So Niyora is free, makes no network calls, and asks for nothing. The one thing we'd love is your honest word on how it landed for you.
