Cool Off
Help and support

Action Button, Watch and more

Quick triggers: every way to start a session without hunting for the app.

Voice
“Hey Siri, start Cool Off” or your own safe word. Works on iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods, with the screen off.
In the car
Mount the phone and open Driving Mode (Home screen button, “Hey Siri, driving mode in Cool Off”, or a Shortcuts automation on your car's Bluetooth). The screen goes dark, shows three large buttons, stays awake and listens for your safe word while you drive. Audio plays through the car's Bluetooth, an aux cable, or the phone speaker.
Apple Watch
Add the Cool Off complication to your watch face. One tap starts the session on your phone, so it plays through the car, and the Watch taps your wrist in time with each breath.
Action Button
Settings › Action Button › Shortcut › Start Cool Off. One long press, anywhere.
Back Tap
Settings › Accessibility › Touch › Back Tap › Double Tap › Start Cool Off.
Control Center
Add the Cool Off control to Control Center or the Lock Screen. Starts audio in the background without opening the app.
Lock Screen widget
Add the Cool Off widget to your Lock Screen for a one-tap start.
