You've Tried Everything. Nothing Worked.
Calm, Headspace, meditation apps—they all tell you to "clear your mind." But that's the problem. You can't. Your brain doesn't work that way. And the harder you try, the worse it gets.
3AM Spirals
Lying awake, replaying the same conversation for the hundredth time.
Failed Meditation
"Just breathe" doesn't work when your brain won't cooperate.
Endless Loop
The same worries, again and again, with no way out.
Introducing: Spiral Interrupts
Nœma doesn't ask you to "clear your mind." Instead, it gives you proven techniques to interrupt rumination spirals before they take over. Think of it like a circuit breaker for your thoughts.
Here's how it works: When you catch yourself spiraling, Nœma guides you through a 90-second technique designed by Stanford researchers. It's not meditation. It's not breathing exercises. It's a physiological interrupt that stops the loop.
Three Techniques. One Goal: Stop the Spiral.
Each technique targets a different type of rumination. Use what works for you, when you need it.
Cyclic Sigh
A breathing pattern developed at Stanford that physiologically calms your nervous system. Takes 90 seconds. Works when you're stuck in an anxiety loop.
Cognitive Reappraisal
A clinical psychology technique that reframes intrusive thoughts. Teaches your brain to see spirals as they happen—and choose not to engage.
Behavioral Activation
When you're paralyzed by overthinking, this technique gets you moving. Small, structured actions that break the mental deadlock.
How It Works
Four simple steps to stop rumination before it takes over.
Notice the Spiral
Catch yourself ruminating. That's the hardest part—and you just did it.
Open Nœma
Choose the technique that fits your current state. Not sure? Start with Cyclic Sigh.
Follow the Prompt
90 seconds. That's it. The app guides you through the entire process.
Break the Loop
Your nervous system resets. The spiral stops. You move on.
What Overthinkers Are Saying
Real stories from people who've broken free from rumination spirals.
"I've tried every meditation app. They all failed. Nœma actually works because it doesn't pretend overthinking is the same as stress. It's different—and this app gets it."
Sarah M.
Software Engineer
"3AM used to be my worst enemy. Now when I wake up spiraling, I use Cyclic Sigh and I'm back asleep in minutes. First app that's ever helped."
Michael T.
Startup Founder
"Cognitive Reappraisal changed how I think about my thoughts. Sounds weird, but it's the first thing that's made me feel in control of my brain in years."
