Vela: ACT Skills & Values

Hi, I'm the maker. I built Vela alone over the last ten months.

When life got hard to cope with, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) helped me, and I thought it could help others too.

Most apps for hard moments try to make the feeling go away. Vela is built on those principles, so it goes the other way: you notice the thought, give it a bit of distance, and pick one small thing that matters to you. A few things I cared about:

  • Tools you do, not read. Drop Anchor has you press and hold the screen with your feet on the floor; Urge Surfing draws your own wave as you mark the urge.

  • No streaks. It counts completed practices; a break resets nothing.

  • What you write in the tools stays on your phone.

  • Free to start (2 meditations, first 2 lessons, mood calendar, journal, core tools), subscription for the full library. No ads.

It's iPhone only for now, and it's not a substitute for therapy.

One question for you: which screen made you want to close the app? I'm reading every comment today.
