Nomie

Nomie approaches mental wellbeing from the body rather than from advice. Its premise is that anxiety cannot always be argued away, so the app engages the nervous system first: short haptic fidget rituals, guided somatic breathing, self-affirmation and perspective-shift exercises delivered through the same vertical scrolling motion that social apps use — but deliberately repurposed to produce calming micro-moments instead of dopamine spikes. The team describes this approach as bottom-up processing and frames the feed as 'bloomscrolling' rather than doomscrolling.

Alongside the tools sits an AI companion that users can talk to when they feel overwhelmed. The app also publishes a library of longer-form wellness guides covering nervous-system regulation, stress-relief techniques that are body-first rather than generic, grounding tools for anxious moments, breathing technique tutorials and an explanation of the neuroscience behind compulsive scrolling.

The product is aimed at people who recognise that social media use leaves them worse off, including users with ADHD and anxiety. It is free to download with no credit card required, is available on iOS with an Android release listed as coming soon, and has been featured on Product Hunt. The site reports over 100,000 downloads, a 4.8 App Store rating across more than 1,200 reviews, and 92% of surveyed users saying they feel calmer. Nomie is a self-care companion, not a licensed therapy or medical service.
