Updated over a week ago



Step 1 : Download on App Store


Search for "Recess Labs” on google play or Apple iOS store, and then download the app.


Step 2: Sign up with new account

Next, open the app, and it will ask you to sign in or register. If it's your first time, make sure to click “No Account Yet? Sign up” so you can register. You can either register with an email and setting a password, or register through your Google or Apple ID. Either is fine, it's up to you. If you already had an account, enter that account email and password. Or again, log in with google or apple by clicking either of those buttons.

Step 3: Onboarding Questions

Once you register, Recess will introduce itself, and it will prompt you to enter the name you would like us to use for you while you use the app. It will then take you through an onboarding screen that will discuss the value of Recess.

Now, you should set your daily Recess time. It will send you a daily reminder to complete your Recess sessions. We suggest most take their daily recess at the beginning of the day to set their intentions, complete one processing session in the morning, and the second processing session at night. You should customize the schedule that best fits you!


Step 4: Complete First Bilateral Session

Then, watch our welcome video, which will give you instructions for Recess. It will prompt you to complete your first session, which is our tutorial mini session that will take about 3 minutes. This will give you a good first time feeling of what bilateral is like and why its important. We’ll get more into the different session types in the Third How to Movie on how to Process with Recess.
