Wind-Down and Protection Mode

Genis takes rest as seriously as reflection. Two features help you protect it: the evening Wind-Down ritual and the chronobiology-aware Protection Mode.

Wind-Down

Wind-Down is a guided, roughly six-minute pre-sleep ritual. A few quiet minutes to let the day go: slow your breathing, park tomorrow's worries, and review last night's sleep summary from your Apple Watch.

• Start it from the home screen, from an evening reminder, or via the genis://winddown deep link.
• Pairs beautifully with a Mood Music sleep timer.

Protection Mode

When Genis detects critical sleep debt through Apple Health, the entire app shifts into Protection Mode — a calm, black-and-white low-stimuli state.

• The interface dims to monochrome to reduce stimulation.
• Daily insights change tone: your brain needs protection, not optimization.
• Genis encourages total rest instead of streaks, goals, or metrics.

Protection Mode lifts automatically as your sleep recovers.
