It keeps listening through pauses and keeps everything you say. • Sign in with Google, alongside Sign in with Apple. • A cleaner profile: see what Expand knows about you, and swipe to remove anything. • Clearer explanations when Expand suggests a new way to see something. • Smoother screen transitions, plus fixes for text that didn't clear after sending.
MoreExpand utilizes behavioral experiments, a core tool of cognitive behavioral therapy. This method involves identifying what an old belief predicts, performing an action to test it, and observing reality's outcome to challenge the belief.
The app initiates a guided conversation, distinct from a typical questionnaire, to help users articulate a belief that is bothering them. This process aims to surface a specific, often unspoken, limiting belief.
The Audit step involves listing all perceived evidence supporting an old belief. Users then analyze this evidence, distinguishing facts from interpretations and questioning the origin and age of the belief.
No, Expand focuses on testing beliefs through real-world experiments rather than affirmations. It encourages users to write a 'rival belief' that is almost believable today, pushing for practical change.
Expand guides users to design three experiments based on their life, each testing the belief from a different angle. These are concrete actions to be completed within 24 hours, with specific steps for planning and reflection.
If an experiment goes badly, Expand treats it as information about the experiment itself, not a verdict on the user. Guided prompts help users understand what happened and explore underlying issues.
Everything the app learns about a user is listed in Settings, where it can be edited or deleted. This ensures users have control over their personal information within the app.
Expand is rated for ages 12 and up, making it suitable for teenagers and adults looking to work on their self-beliefs.
