## What is MindGlitches?

You make hundreds of decisions every day, and most of them lean on fast mental shortcuts you never notice. MindGlitches is a private behavioral science lab that helps you catch decision blind spots in real time.

EXPERIMENTS
Short, interactive experiments based on published behavioral economics and psychology research: anchoring, loss aversion, sunk cost, decoy pricing, framing, base-rate neglect, the planning fallacy, and availability bias. Answer on instinct, then see how your responses compare with published research findings.

PAUSE (URGE SURFING)
Feeling pulled toward an impulse purchase, endless scrolling, or a reactive message? Dr. G. Alan Marlatt's evidence-based urge surfing protocol guides you through a 90-second breathing pause to ride out the neurochemical wave until your rational brain regains control.

REFRAME (CBT)
Examine distressing automatic thoughts using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (Aaron Beck, 1979). Identify 8 common cognitive distortions—including catastrophizing, mind reading, and all-or-nothing thinking—and use Socratic questioning to find balanced perspective.

100% PRIVATE
No accounts, no cloud sync, and no tracking. All results and reframes stay strictly on your device.You make hundreds of decisions every day, and most of them lean on fast mental shortcuts you never notice.
