## What is Choiceful?

Choiceful is your all-in-one OCD treatment app:
- AI chat that guides you through episodes with ERP & ACT therapy (trained SPECIFICALLY for OCD episodes, UNLIKE ChatGPT!)
- Personalized treatment program (tested by thousands of OCD sufferers).
- Exposure planning, coaching, & tracking.
- Daily check-ins
- Peer reviewed by clinical OCD psychologists and researchers
- Data (internal) shows clinically significant improvement in OCD symptoms (YBOCs scoring)

**How does the AI chat work?**
Just write down what's bothering you and Choiceful's AI therapy chat session provides step-by-step therapeutic guidance. It's powered by AI so it's personalized to what you’re dealing with in the moment. Specifically, it’ll help you to… 
- Identify and resist your compulsive urges.
- Defuse from intrusive thoughts & feelings.
- Choose to live your life on your terms, not OCD’s.

**Isn’t this an AI therapist?**
No, and we’ll never try to (or should) replace a therapist. We’re an AI-powered treatment app that supports you in your recovery journey.

**What does “Choiceful” mean?**
Living with OCD can feel impossible. But no matter how overwhelming your intrusive thoughts, anxiety and compulsive urges are, you have the power to choose. Being choiceful means practicing this power and living life on your own terms, not OCD’s. This app is made to cultivate that skill and choiceful way of living. Our favorite quote is by Viktor Frankl - “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In that choice lies our growth and our freedom.” Be Choiceful!

**Where does my data go?** 
We take your privacy very seriously. OCD is a very sensitive and personal disorder. As OCD sufferers ourselves, we know that from our personal experience. All your personal data is encrypted and securely protected under HIPAA-compliant AWS infrastructure. Your personal information is not used to train Large Language Models (LLMs) or AI.

**Do I need to pay?** 
No! Choiceful is free to use, but has a subscription for even more features to help you on your journey. HOWEVER! We believe in making OCD care accessible to everyone, so if you require financial aid, please send an email to finaid@bechoiceful.com. We'll never turn away an OCD sufferer in need :)

**MEDICAL DISCLAIMER**
Although Choiceful is an AI-powered OCD therapy support app, it is NOT providing therapy itself NOR is it meant to replace a therapist. Instead, it’s to be another tool in your OCD support toolkit. Although we know it's not feasible for many sufferers, we still recommend this app be used as a tool under OCD clinical supervision. If you have any questions, please send us an email at support@bechoiceful.com

### 1/5 — Invalidating

*2026-08-18, version 16.2.0*

The ai is super invalidating to feelings and opinions not helpful at all

### 3/5 — The app is helpful but…

*2026-08-10, version 16.2.0*

This app has helped me a lot. The courses have helped, the meditations have helped. The chat has helped me get out of some pretty tough spirals and has helped me to do compulsions a lot less. But I’m paying the highest subscription price and am still being limited. $30 monthly is expensive and I’m not receiving the full benefits for that price anymore.

### 4/5 — WARNING PLEASE READ

*2026-08-07, version 16.2.0*

I got this app for ocd help and my biggest trigger is blood; I told this to the app and in the exposure heirarchy it suggested: “Create a small cut on your arm (such as by a razor blade or by scraping), allow the blood to flow for several minutes, observe it directly in a mirror, and continue with normal activities while the bleeding is still visible.” I understand the app is run by AI, but I found this advice not only extremely dangerous but also triggering as someone who has previously had a history of self abuse. I believe this app can be a great tool and I see a lot of positive attributes, but I strongly encourage the developers to take this seriously and put some type of restrictions on the AI features in order to prevent an accident from happening.

### 5/5 — Consider giving this a chance, it could help!

*2026-07-28, version 16.1.0*

I am beyond anti-AI, but had to use it for work, so in distress, I did end up turning to Claude/ChatGPT for mental health advice - a terrible idea, I know. After multiple loved ones told me they think I might have OCD, I started trying this app, skeptically, and the chats are incredibly different than "standard" AI chatbots. While between REAL therapists, I have finally seen progress with my OCD and have found this incredibly helpful and life changing. I will be seeking out a human OCD specialist when I can afford it and manage it, but until then, this app has changed my habits, awareness, and attitude for the better. Take it with a grain of salt like anything (especially AI, which I still firmly believe is mostly bad) but this app does truly have a lot of worth.

### 5/5 — Really Impressed

*2026-07-23, version 16.1.0*

I’m so impressed with this app which I’ve been using for a month or two now. I honestly thought I’d download and sign up then delete within a week which is how I usually get on with these things. 

To give some background info; I’m late diagnosed ADHD, autistic, with OCD and health anxiety. 

I’m not exaggerating when I tell you I’ve seen approximately 15-20 different therapists in the last decade. All the therapy I had helped at the time, however I’ve never been able to keep on top of my intrusive thoughts long-term. I’m not suggesting this app should replace therapy but it’s been so helpful to prevent me from relapsing into a bad place again.

Although I had good knowledge of the techniques from my therapists, actually applying them consistently without falling into a mental compulsion of negative self critism on a long term basis has always seemed like an impossible goal for me. I’m happy to report that I actually now believe there is light at the end of the very long and very dark tunnel.

The fact I can go onto the chat function when I need acute support is incredibly valuable, you can’t really get that with a traditional therapist. I love how it has a memory of the details mentioned along the way so you’re not always having to repeat yourself and will notice trends of how your compulsions show up as well as what techniques work best.

I actually did start using another online support service in conjunction with the app to begin with as I was really struggling with things. I covered off more topics and practiced more ERP using this app over the course of a week compared to not even having enough time to cover my background of my issues with the other service. I cancelled the subscription I had with the other service and have used Choiceful ever since. It’s great to have a quick response chat that is non judgemental, catches you when you stumble into compulsions, educates you on the psychology of OCD, and is confidential. 

Thank you so so so much to the people who created this app, you are heroes xx

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-16, version 16.1.0*

Really beneficial for trying to heal my ROCD and super insightful! lovely staff aswell:)

### 5/5 — great app

*2026-07-14, version 16.1.0*

Helped me so much while I’ve been waiting for treatment. So grateful an app like this exists

### 5/5 — A wonderful app and a wonderful team

*2026-07-13, version 16.1.0*

Choiceful has been great for me. I tried this app after trying another one and just ending up irritated and more in distress. Choiceful helped me even just after the demo. I found it a little pricey, but this team aims to make it truly accessible to everyone and wants no one with OCD to go without support, that means so much to me. I love Choiceful.

### 5/5 — Get the app

*2026-07-12, version 16.1.0*

I’m still using the free trial but just in 5 days I better understand so much about my ocd and how to help myself. I’m getting the subscription when the trail is done. The AI does not just yes and the conversation. It doesn’t just follow along and agree with your obsessions or compulsions, it helps you reframe and reanalysis your thoughts. It’s incredibly helpful.

### 5/5 — Super Helpful for OCD

*2026-07-11, version 16.1.0*

I was diagnosed with OCD this yearand have had difficulty accesing therapy because of transportations issues. I downloaded Choiceful hoping it would help me manage my OCD and after just a a few days of using it I've already learned healthier ways to respond to my compulsions and gained a better understanding of OCD. 

The team has also been incredibly kind. I was having trouble affording the subscription and they generously offered me a discounted plan which I truly appreciate. 

I definitely recommend Choiceful to anyone looking for support and tools to help manage their OCD.
