About Footing
Footing is a preventative digital tool for anyone facing high-pressure decisions. Designed for those split-second moments where stress urges fast action, our app guides users through a short, structured pause that separates fact from feeling and provides a steadier path forward. Everything about Footing is intentionally simple: no account creation, no tracking, and no clinical labels.
We believe staying on solid ground starts with a small pause. Footing encourages users to ground physically, identify what really happened (and what it means), and select a safe next step—all in just 90 seconds. This approach helps prevent escalation and long-term regret, offering privacy, accessibility, and effectiveness in real-world situations.

How Footing Works
Footing guides users through a 90-second process in tense moments—grounding, understanding, and choosing a low-risk next step. Quick, private, and practical.
90-Second Pause
Start a brief pause designed to reset thinking and emotions before responding impulsively. The timer creates a deliberate space for clarity.
Somatic Grounding
A simple physical check-in helps users calm down and center themselves, supporting mindful, more rational decisions under stress.
Separate Fact from Meaning
Users name what actually happened versus their immediate interpretations, separating facts from mind stories for clear-headed choices.
Choose Low-Risk Next Steps
Select from suggested safe actions—delay, draft, ask for help, or step away—to prevent escalation and negative consequences.
Our Mission
Footing empowers adults to make wiser decisions in high-stakes moments by interrupting impulsive reactions. We believe that even a 90-second pause can prevent lasting regret by making space for clarity, grounding, and intentional choice. Dedicated to privacy and accessibility, we offer a non-clinical, stigma-free tool as early intervention against stress-driven mistakes.
