Can I Use the Tabs Without the App?

Yes — Dharma Dr. tabs can be used without the app by activating Independent Mode. This allows the tabs to run on their own without a Bluetooth connection or remote control.

What Is Independent Mode?

Independent Mode is a built-in setting that activates a default vibration pattern when both tabs are removed from the case at the same time.

How to Use the Tabs Without the App

Make sure both tabs are fully charged and placed inside the case.
Remove both tabs from the case at the same time.
The tabs will automatically begin vibrating in a slow, bilateral pattern.

You can stop the vibration by placing the tabs back in the case or by holding the button on each tab for 4–5 seconds to power them off.

Who Is This Mode For?

Great for clients in therapy who want a no-setup grounding tool between sessions
Ideal for therapists using the tabs during in-person sessions without app control
Useful for individuals who prefer a simplified, tech-free option

Can I Customize the Pattern?

Not in Independent Mode. For custom intensity and speed, use the Dharma Dr. app to switch to Manual or Soothing Mode.
