Waypoint - Every panic attack you survive becomes evidence.

by•
Waypoint is a panic attack relief app built on one idea: every attack you survive becomes evidence you can survive the next one. I built it after years of real panic attacks — the apps already out there didn't work when I was actually in it. The crisis path is free forever. No red in the UI (it triggers threat response). One decision per screen during a crisis. Direct 988 access built in. Built solo in SwiftUI.

Maker here 👋 I built Waypoint after years of dealing with real panic attacks myself — including one that left me stuck in a hotel room for two days on a business trip, unable to function. I tried the apps already out there. None of them worked for me in the actual moment. The core idea: every attack you get through gets logged — not as a mood tracker, but as real evidence that you've survived this every time. The crisis path is free forever, no red anywhere in the UI (it triggers a threat response), one decision per screen during the actual protocol, and direct 988 access built into every screen. Built solo in SwiftUI. Happy to answer anything — about the app, the design choices, or the build itself. Also very open to feature requests, this is still very much evolving.

Love that there's no red anywhere in the crisis screens — such a thoughtful detail for someone mid-panic. The one-decision-per-screen flow kept me from getting overwhelmed even just testing it.

The no-red UI choice is thoughtful and actually made the app feel calmer to open. One decision per screen during a crisis path is exactly the kind of restraint most wellness apps get wrong.

How does the "every attack you survive becomes evidence" piece actually work in practice? Like, do you log them after or does it track passively, and is that history something you can look back on or is it more in-the-moment?

The lack of red really does make a difference when you're already on edge, and the one decision per screen approach feels like someone actually thought through what panic does to your brain. The 988 shortcut is smart.

the calm blue palette actually helps when you're spiraling, and having just one thing to do per screen takes the guesswork out. nice work
