What Pas de panique ! does

Pas de panique ! is a French mobile wellness application operated by Colorful SASU, founded in 2018 in Nantes by hypnotherapist and coach Hugo Pozzoli. The app delivers guided hypnosis, meditation, and breathing exercises organized into three themed pillars — Respirer (Breathe), Méditer (Meditate), and Dormir (Sleep) — and offers structured multi-day coaching programs covering stress, anxiety, panic attacks, sleep, smoking cessation, self-confidence, and phobias. Technically, the app is built for iOS and Android, integrates with Google Health Connect to ingest sleep and heart rate data for real-time stress monitoring, and uses Sentry for error monitoring and AdMob for advertising. Supporting infrastructure includes a companion website (pasdepaniqueapp.fr), a content blog, and downloadable tracking documents.

The business model is freemium — the core content (meditation, breathing, sleep exercises) is available 100% free without registration, while premium subscription programs unlock guided multi-day journeys. Pricing is differentiated by platform: Android subscriptions are billed directly at €7.99/week or €99.99/year, while iOS subscriptions are handled through Apple with automatic renewal; no free trial is offered on either platform. The company is privately held, founder-owned, has 7 employees, and has not disclosed any external funding. Enterprise names including Credit Agricole, Sephora, Decathlon, and Audencia appear on the homepage as "trusted brands," but the nature of these relationships is unconfirmed.

The company is small, operates with no disclosed revenue or user-base metrics, and exhibits placeholder values (+0k users, +0M downloads) on its own homepage, making commercial traction difficult to assess. Distribution is entirely digital via app stores plus a self-serve website, with no physical retail or reseller channel. The market served is primarily French-speaking consumers interested in mental wellness and self-development, with the app and website listed as globally available but only French-language.
