*2025-10-21, version 1.0.2*

This app is a game changer for my relationship OCD symptoms - had some intrusive thoughts for 2-3 hours a day, and since I used this voice app, it helped reduce to under 30 mins per day, which is awesome! Highly recommend people to check it out! Also it doesn’t cut you off when you are thinking during talking like ChatGPT which is a bonus for me.
