## What is Spared?

Make your problems feel small.

Spared puts your problems in perspective, so you stress less and feel more grateful. Tell it what's on your mind, and it shows you how much worse it could be with a short, narrated story from real history. A few minutes later, your problem feels much smaller and you're grateful for the life you have today.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Type, say, or snap a photo of what's stressing you.
2. Get instant perspective from real history.
3. Listen to a short narrated story, then return to your day lighter.

FEATURES
Narrated sessions from real history, with transcripts
Five categories: Work, Money, Stability, Safety, and Health
See how your life compares to everyone who has ever lived
AI chat for session recommendations and reflection
Daily streaks and 7 ranks to climb, from Aware to Unshakable

WHY IT WORKS
Harvard researchers found that your brain judges problems by comparison. With nothing bigger to compare them to, small problems feel huge. Spared gives your brain a bigger frame of reference, so stress shrinks and gratitude grows.

### 5/5 — A helpful and unique take on gratitude.

I’ve tried gratitude journaling for awhile but it never really stuck for me. This app takes a completely different angle, one I hadn’t tried before, and I’m finding it much more helpful. The stories are concise and easy to fit into my day. I’ve noticed my perspective has changed in both big and small ways.

### 5/5 — Great to disconnect

I use this app after work to disconnect from work and reconnect with real life it’s been really helpful to use it to shift between the 2.
