Get In Touch & Support the ShowThis isn’t a meditation session today, but a deeply personal milestone update and a massive, heartfelt thank you to this incredible community. After six years of the Calming Anxiety podcast, all of your thoughts, tips, and requests have culminated in a project Martin is proudest of: the brand-new Anchored app.

Born out of a challenging few months where Martin has been dealing with severe vision loss—meaning no driving or motorbike riding—coding this app has been a labor of love, complete with large yellow text on a black background just so he could see the screen. There is bright light at the end of the tunnel, with NHS surgery booked for next month to restore his sight one eye at a time.

The Android version of Anchored is officially ready for closed testing on Google Play, and we need your help to test it out for at least two weeks! It is completely free, with zero catch . iOS development officially begins today, with testing for Apple users opening up in about three to four weeks. 

The incredible GoFundMe campaign started by this community has already ensured a new Mac is on the way to power this next phase of coding. If you haven't had a chance to donate yet, the link is still live, and all donors will get lifetime access to the premium version of the app as a thank you. Thank you for your immense generosity, your kindness, and for being a part of this journey. Wherever you are listening from in the world today, stay positive, smile often, and remember...

Be Kind.
