Norbu is a stress relief and mindfulness app built for stress management, anxiety relief, emotional balance, better focus, and healthier habits.

Use guided meditation, breathing exercises, anti-stress games, the Gratitude Timer, AI Coach, Goal Planner, and a 2-minute HRV test to understand how your body is handling stress and recovery.

Understand stress in 2 minutes with an HRV test

Norbu includes a 2-minute HRV test using your phone camera. HRV stands for heart rate variability. It is a simple way to see how your body is responding to mental, emotional, and physical load. This is more than a pulse check. It gives you extra context about stress, recovery, and readiness, so you can choose what may help most right now: breathing, meditation, a short reset, or more rest.

HRV has roots in space medicine and is now widely used in athlete recovery and performance monitoring. In Norbu, this becomes practical biofeedback for everyday life: a clearer signal from your body in a format that is easy to use.

What HRV and biofeedback can help you do:

spot overload earlier
notice when you may need more recovery
track changes across days
choose the right practice for the moment
build a better self-care routine

Breathing exercises, meditation, and stress relief that fit real life

Norbu gives you short daily practices for stress relief, anxiety relief, burnout support, focus, and emotional balance. Use guided or silent meditation, calming breathwork, anti-stress games, and mindful resets to step out of overwhelm and come back to yourself.

Whether you need a quick reset between meetings, help winding down at night, or a calmer way to move through a hard day, Norbu helps you build small habits that support long-term stress resilience.

Breathe Instead of Smoking

Norbu includes a free practice called Breathe Instead of Smoking for people who want to smoke less, stop smoking, or handle cravings differently.

When the urge to smoke hits, the hardest part is often the first minute. This practice helps you pause, breathe, shift your attention, and move through the craving with more awareness and less autopilot. It is a simple form of support for anyone looking for craving relief, nicotine craving support, or a healthier replacement for a smoke break.

This can help if you want to:

quit smoking or cut back
get through nicotine cravings
replace smoke breaks with breathing
interrupt automatic smoking triggers
build a healthier routine one step at a time

Tools for everyday wellbeing

In Norbu, you can use:

HRV test and camera-based biofeedback
breathing exercises for calm and recovery
guided meditation and mindfulness
anti-stress games and short resets
Gratitude Timer for positive reflection
AI Coach for personalized support
Goal Planner for consistency and habits
challenges that help you stay on track

Norbu is built for everyday wellbeing, not perfection. It helps you understand your stress, recover your energy, improve focus, support healthier habits, and feel more grounded in daily life.
