About

A simple browser tool for a hard moment.

Panic Reset was made by Isaac Moshe as a small charity project: a free, no-signup moving-dot exercise that opens quickly and asks very little of someone who may already feel overloaded.

Why it exists

Panic can make attention feel trapped inside the body: racing heartbeat, tight breathing, tunnel vision, shaky hands, or a sudden sense that something terrible is about to happen. Panic Reset gives the eyes one clear, predictable thing to follow. The goal is not to diagnose, treat, or cure anything. The goal is to provide a plain visual anchor that may help someone slow down, orient to the present, and get through the next minute.

The site is intentionally minimal. There is no account, no feed, no streak, and no pressure to keep using it. You can open the page, follow the dot, adjust the speed or size, and leave. The controls are built around short use: pause, center, fullscreen, speed, size, and span.

What Panic Reset is not

Panic Reset is not therapy, medical advice, EMDR, crisis counseling, or a substitute for care from a licensed professional. EMDR is a structured psychotherapy delivered by trained clinicians. This website is only a self-guided visual tracking tool inspired by the general idea that steady bilateral visual attention can feel organizing for some people.

The tool has not been clinically tested as a standalone intervention. People respond differently to visual motion. If the dot increases distress, dizziness, nausea, dissociation, headache, eye strain, or a sense of unreality, stop using it and switch to a gentler grounding method.
