Vestibular exercises are hard to do well with your eyes closed. Recenter uses the motion sensors in your AirPods to track your head and coach you through every move — voice and gentle haptics, no watching a screen.
A guided exercise coach — not a diagnostic device. For exercises your clinician prescribed.
How it works
No cameras, no wearables to buy — the AirPods you already own carry motion sensors accurate enough to follow every head turn.
AirPods Pro, AirPods (3rd gen or later), or AirPods Max connect to your iPhone and stream head motion in real time. Everything is processed on your phone.
Spoken cues and gentle haptic pulses pace each movement and hold — turn by turn, position by position — so your eyes can stay closed the whole time.
If your AirPods disconnect or a call comes in, the session pauses instantly and tells you. Resume when you're ready — it re-centers before continuing.
What it coaches
Recenter paces the classics of vestibular rehabilitation practice. Your clinician decides which exercise and which side — the app coaches the execution.
Steady-rhythm head turns with your eyes fixed on a target. Live angle feedback keeps your amplitude and pace where they should be, set after set.
Position-by-position guidance through each lie-down and sit-up, with hold countdowns spoken aloud — no more guessing whether 30 seconds have passed.
Left or right, as your clinician directed. Each head angle and hold is coached and confirmed before moving to the next position.
The swift cross-body sequence, paced and narrated — including the part everyone forgets: keeping the head angle through the swing.
No account. No cloud. No analytics. Head-motion data is processed live and discarded; your session history and symptom diary live only on your device. Our App Store privacy label is "Data Not Collected" — because we can't see your data at all.
Safety first
Before every first use, Recenter walks you through the warning signs that call for medical care instead of exercise:
Recenter is a guided exercise coach, not a medical device. It does not diagnose vertigo, BPPV, or the affected ear or canal, and it is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Use it only for exercises your doctor or vestibular clinician has recommended, and contact them — or emergency services — if symptoms change or worsen.
Recenter is designed and built by Rajvinder Singh, MD, a family medicine physician who kept seeing vertigo and BPPV patients sent home with a paper handout of a maneuver they'd never done before. This is the coach he wished he could send home with every one of them. It coaches — it never diagnoses or prescribes, and using it does not create a physician–patient relationship.
