aplomb

For the days the world spins.

Aplomb guides you step by step through the head-repositioning maneuvers clinicians use for BPPV — checking your head angle in real time with your iPhone's motion sensors, and speaking every instruction so your eyes can stay closed.

How a session works

Start with a safety check. Seven quick questions before every session. If anything suggests you need medical care instead, Aplomb stops and says so.
Hold your iPhone to your head and follow the voice. A calm voice guides each position. A rising tone tells you you're getting closer, a gentle tap confirms every angle, and the hold timers only count while you're truly in position.
Rest, then note how you feel. A two-minute wind-down before you stand, a simple symptom check after, and a diary you can export as a PDF for your clinician.

Built for spinning rooms

Eyes closed by design. Other apps show animations and assume you can watch a screen mid-vertigo. Aplomb assumes you can't.
Angles, verified. Your phone's gyroscope and accelerometer confirm each head position in real time, so you can follow your clinician's instructions accurately at home.
Nothing to sign up for. No account, no server. Your entries stay on your iPhone and in your own iCloud — we couldn't read them if we wanted to.
A record worth bringing to appointments. Episodes, sessions, and symptom trends in one exportable PDF.

The important part

Aplomb is a guidance and education tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose any condition, and it is not a treatment or a substitute for medical assessment. If this is your first ever episode of vertigo, see a clinician before using home maneuvers. Seek medical care now if vertigo comes with sudden hearing loss, a severe or unusual headache, double vision, slurred speech, weakness or numbness, or chest pain — and call emergency services if symptoms are severe. For adults 18 and over.
