Nerves are stealing your performance.

Step up with a steady voice and command the room

Lead with confidence and close like you rehearsed

A completely different feeling.
Tell Primo what you're facing
Interview? Presentation? Sales call? Primo builds a personalized routine based on your specific situation and how much time you have.
Follow your 2-minute routine
Shake off tension, reset your breathing with a Stanford-backed technique, ground yourself, and set your intention. Each step works with your nervous system — not against it.
Walk in as your best self
Not zen. Not fearless. Just grounded, focused, and ready to perform the way you know you can. The version of you that shows up when the pressure is off.
Features
Everything you need to
perform under pressure.
Calm and focused in 2 minutes flat.
Your nervous system doesn't respond to "just relax." Primo walks you through a specific sequence — shake off tension, use a double-breath reset backed by Stanford neuroscience, and ground yourself. Designed for when you're already nervous.
Turn "what if" into "I've got this."
Anxiety loves uncertainty. The Backup Plan Builder uses if-then planning (backed by implementation intentions research) to prepare you for worst-case scenarios. When you have a plan, the fear loses its grip.
Small daily exercises that compound.
One minute a day rewires how you respond to pressure. Log your wins. Reframe anxious thoughts. The calm you build between big moments shows up when you need it most.
Start each day grounded.
A daily perspective shift that interrupts anxious thought patterns before they start. Save the ones that resonate. What you practice grows stronger — including calm.
The science
Every technique is backed
by peer-reviewed research.
Primo doesn't ask you to “just relax.” It uses techniques that work with your nervous system — the same ones studied at leading universities.
Double-Breath Reset
Physiological sighs — a double-inhale followed by a long exhale — are the fastest known way to calm your nervous system in real time.

Anxiety Reframing
Reframing anxiety as excitement ("I am excited" vs "I am calm") significantly improves performance in high-pressure situations.
Alison Wood Brooks, Harvard Business School
If-Then Planning
Implementation intentions ("if X happens, I will do Y") dramatically increase follow-through and reduce anxiety about uncertain outcomes.

Primo uses techniques that work WITH your nervous system, not against it. When you're already anxious, "just relax" doesn't work. Instead, Primo walks you through a specific sequence — shake off physical tension, use a double-breath reset (a technique backed by Stanford neuroscience research), and ground yourself. It's designed for when you're already nervous.
That's exactly what Primo is built for. Every technique is backed by research — from Harvard studies on anxiety reframing to neuroscience on how breathing patterns affect your nervous system. If your anxiety goes beyond normal nerves, these evidence-based techniques can make a real difference. It's not a replacement for therapy, but it's a powerful tool to have in your pocket.
Those apps are great for building a daily meditation habit. Primo is for right now — when you have 2 minutes before your interview and you're spiraling. It's the difference between going to the gym regularly and doing a quick warm-up before the big game. You can use both.
Yes — fear of public speaking affects up to 75% of people. Whether you're nervous about presentations, sales calls, performances, or any high-stakes moment, the pre-game routine works the same way. Your nervous system doesn't know the difference between an interview and a keynote.
Most breathing advice is backwards. When you're already anxious, "take deep breaths" can actually make things worse. Primo uses a specific technique — a double-inhale followed by a long exhale — that works with your nervous system instead of against it. It's called a physiological sigh, and it's what your body does naturally to reset.
No. Primo works without an account. Your data stays on your device. We believe a tool for managing anxiety shouldn't add friction — just open it and go.
