## What is BRAKED?

BRAKED is a cognitive-behavioral self-control micro-training instrument designed by a psychologist (MSc University of Zurich, Switzerland). All features available in English and German. The instrument is designed to help you build psychological resilience around patterns you experience as recurring and detrimental to your well-being: Train yourself to interrupt procrastination and addiction inducing behaviors and mental processes, and build strength against relapse.

Choose up to 3 behavior templates as your training focus from 7 included: Doomscrolling & Social Media, Eating, Sweet Treats, Shopping, Anger Reaction, Gaming, and Trading - or create a custom template to privately track your own impulse patterns. All 8 templates, including Custom, are fully usable at any time regardless of subscription tier. Your chosen focus templates serve as a focus snapshot in your free personal training stats, and determine which behaviors your Pro coaching content is tailored to; the free plan has no usage limitations on any template.

Free plan:
- Impulse delay training logic based on peer-reviewed scientific research, grounded in cognitive-behavioral training (CBT)
- Detailed training statistics and session history, with a calendar view to track patterns over time
- Exportable, detailed PDF reports and raw CSV data, in full, with no limit
- Unlimited profile resets to rebuild your training focus whenever your priorities change

Pro perks:
- Weekly behavioral coaching articles, written by a psychologist, tailored to your active training profile and rooted in peer-reviewed cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness research
- Full Pro access, free for 7 days

Annual Bonus (Annual Pro plan only):
- One free, personally written Deep Dive psychological consultation response by a psychologist (minimum MSc from a leading European research university) - up to 1,300 words, on a topic of your choice, once per subscription year. Submittable pseudonymously.
- 25% off separately bookable live, secure online, 1:1 psychological consultation sessions, 60 or 90 minutes each, bookable via the EPISTEMIST website, for the duration of your subscription - usable pseudonymously, with client camera optional. 

Privacy by design:

- No data collection
- Your data always stays on device (export, import, or purge anytime)

About BRAKED subscriptions:
BRAKED offers Monthly and Annual subscription plans. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage your subscription in your App Store account settings.

BRAKED is not a medical diagnosis or clinical psychotherapy. Using the app does not create a doctor-patient or therapist-client relationship and is not a substitute for clinical or medical care. Seek a doctor's advice before making any medical decisions. If you are experiencing a medical or psychiatric emergency, contact a local qualified healthcare provider or emergency services immediately. The Annual Bonus and associated live session discount are for cognitive-behavioral and social-system-focused psychological consultations, for expressly non-clinical purposes only.
