Abstract: We present SimpleBounce, a C++ package for finding the bounce solution for the false vacuum decay. This package is based on a flow equation which is proposed by the author and solves Coleman-Glaser-Martin's reduced problem: the minimization problem of the kinetic energy while fixing the potential energy. The bounce configuration is obtained by a scale transformation of the solution of this problem. For models with 1--8 scalar field(s), the bounce action can be calculated with O(0.1) % accuracy in O(0.1) s. This package is available at https://github.com/rsato64/SimpleBounce.
