**24/7 Therapy Support When You Need It** We’ve been there before. Just write down what’s bothering you, and unstuckAI will analyze it and help: 1. Guide you in identifying relevant compulsions and then resisting or stopping them. 2. Walk you through managing your anxiety effectively in the moment. 3. Identify your obsessions, feared consequences, and cognitive distortions at play. **Learn Skills to Help Manage Your OCD** unstuck is carefully designed to not just provide support in the moment but also help train you to manage your symptoms WITHOUT the app. How? Each time you use the app, you’re practicing coping skills similar to those you would learn in OCD therapy. **Review Past Entries** Stuck on the same obsession? Always forgetting what to say during therapy sessions? Curious about your progress? All your entries are visible on device so you (and only you) can review them whenever you like. **Understand Your OCD Through Data** What’s my most common obsession? What compulsions do I struggle with the most? How intense is my anxiety in the mornings compared to nighttime? unstuck securely analyzes your data points so you (and only you) can better understand how your OCD works. **Learn How OCD and OCD Therapy Work** Before you get full access to unstuck, you will receive psychoeducation on how OCD therapy works, personalized for your OCD. AI-powered and designed by our team of OCD clinicians. **My OCD is weird, taboo, or confusing. Will the AI understand me?** Yes! unstuckAI understands ALL things OCD, no matter how weird, taboo, or confusing you may think they are. Remember, our team either suffers from OCD directly or treats it, so we get it, and our AI literally can’t judge. Give it a try :) **My data is very sensitive. What do you do with it?** We know how sensitive and personal OCD is to you. We take your data privacy extremely seriously (read our Privacy Policy for more info). All your personal data is encrypted, and we can't “read” what you write, ever. That's not a promise that's a fact. **Who are you?** We’re Lilian and Aayush. Our lives have been turned upside down by OCD for the past 8+ years. We started this app with a team of OCD clinicians because we believe OCD treatment should be accessible and affordable for everyone. AI has a responsibility in making that happen. **Does this help with exposures?** If you mean preplanned exposures that you normally do with an OCD therapist trained in ERP, not yet. unstuck currently only helps you resist compulsions in the moment, but stay tuned! **Endorsed by Therapists** "unstuck has the remarkable potential to be a valuable tool for my clients in their journey toward OCD recovery. As a clinician, I believe unstuck will be a game-changer for my clients and will enhance our collaborative efforts to help them break free from the grip of obsessions and compulsions." - Erin Venker, MA, LPCC (OCD and Anxiety Center of Minnesota) **DISCLAIMER:** Although unstuck is an AI-powered OCD therapy support app, it is NOT technically delivering therapy itself and is NOT meant to replace a therapist. It is also NOT clinically proven to treat OCD yet. It’s meant to help you in your therapeutic process by teaching you how your OCD works and helping you resist compulsions. If possible, this app is best used as a tool for OCD sufferers under OCD clinical supervision. It’s likely you may experience distress while using this app. Why? This app is designed based on clinical treatment methods for OCD (ERP and ACT), where patients often experience distress as part of an effective therapeutic process. If you find that you need more support than this app can offer because of your distress level, it’s important to speak with an OCD clinician. Your first entry is 100% free and then you can start our free trial before you decide if you want to commit to unstuck :) EULA: https://unstuckocd.notion.site/Terms-of-Usage-ec5fa8795a724fdfbf93366fab60f397

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Delay at 100% against unstuck's 57%. Delay also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and device support (3 vs 1). unstuck's advantage is ratings volume (38 vs 3) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
