Facts

Things that are true, in one place.

01
Stillee is an evidence-based mindfulness app for panic, sleep, and the rest of being human at 3 AM. iOS first; Android planned.
02
The panic flow is free, forever, with no payment gate. One tap opens it with guided breathing already in progress.
03
The default breathing rhythm in the panic flow is cyclic sighing, the technique studied in a 2023 Stanford randomized controlled trial that outperformed mindfulness meditation on mood and respiratory rate.
04
Stillee includes a dedicated 3 AM mode for nocturnal wakings, separate from bedtime content. It draws on the CBT-I literature, including cognitive shuffle and paradoxical intention.
05
NSDR (non-sleep deep rest) is a first-class category in Stillee, with tracks at 8, 20, and 60 minutes. The 60-minute track follows the classical Yoga Nidra structure.
06
The multi-week programs include an 8-week course built on the MBSR curriculum developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn, plus Mindful Pregnancy, Off-Mode (male midlife), The Second Half (midlife), and Foundations (a two-week starter), with more in development.
07
Stillee is developed by Competente Nuvem - Lda, a small studio in Portugal.
08
Journal entries and the saved emergency contact are encrypted at rest with a key unique to the user account. Session replay is switched off entirely on panic, sleep, and journal surfaces.
09
There is no streak weaponization: no 11 PM badges, no "your streak is at risk" notifications, no leaderboard.

Quotes

Attribute as “Stillee” unless we are interviewing with you, in which case the speaker name will be provided.

On the design principle

The panic flow is the part that has to work when nothing else can. So it has to be free, and it has to open in one tap. The rest of the app earns the right to be paid for. The panic flow does not.
On why the catalog is small

Stillee is not priced like a library because it is not a library. One guide your nervous system can learn to trust, one small catalog where every track was made for a specific moment. The clinical evidence consistently uses one curriculum, not a buffet.
On the 3 AM use case

Most consumer sleep apps were designed around bedtime onset. The middle of the night is a different cognitive state. The app should know the difference.
