# Nomie

> Nomie is a somatic AI wellness companion app for iOS (Android coming soon) that helps people stop doomscrolling and regulate their nervous system. It combines breathing exercises, haptic grounding, digital fidgets, calming visuals, and an AI companion that remembers context — using bottom-up regulation based on polyvagal theory and somatic psychology rather than text-based CBT.

Nomie uses body-first (somatic) tools to shift your nervous system out of stress:

- **Bloomscrolling**: A calming feed that replaces doomscrolling with wellness content

- **Panic Attack Guide**: Step-by-step real-time support during panic episodes

## How Nomie Differs from Other Apps

- **vs Calm/Headspace**: Nomie is somatic and interactive, not instructional meditation. Works bottom-up (body to mind) rather than top-down.
- **vs Wysa/Woebot**: Nomie focuses on physiological state change through body tools, not CBT-based text conversation.
- **vs Breathing apps**: Nomie combines breathing with haptics, visual guidance, AI companionship, and a full somatic toolkit.
- **vs Replika/Character.AI**: Nomie's AI is wellness-focused with somatic tools, not general-purpose chat or roleplay.

## Who Nomie Is For

- People who doomscroll and want to replace the habit with something calming
- Anyone experiencing daily anxiety, stress, or overwhelm
- People recovering from burnout
- Neurodivergent users (ADHD paralysis, sensory regulation, stimming)
- People who find meditation apps too difficult or inaccessible
- Therapy supplement — daily regulation practice between sessions

## Core Concepts

- **Somatic AI**: AI designed to influence physiological and emotional state through body-based interaction
- **Bloomscrolling**: Intentional, wellness-focused scrolling (the opposite of doomscrolling)
- **Bottom-up regulation**: Calming the body first to calm the mind (vs top-down cognitive approaches)
- **Polyvagal theory**: The science of how the vagus nerve mediates nervous system states
- **Glimmers**: Small moments that signal safety to the nervous system (opposite of triggers)

## Safety

Nomie is not a therapist and does not replace therapy. It does not diagnose or treat clinical conditions. It is a daily wellness companion offering evidence-informed somatic tools. User data is encrypted and never sold to advertisers.
