You've been thinking about the same thing for three days. You know it's not productive. You know you're going in circles. But you can't stop, because it feels like you're almost figuring something out. Loop Mind is a thinking tracker for people who overthink. It listens to you talk through what's on your mind, then reflects it back with structure you can't get from inside the spiral. HOW IT WORKS Talk or type. No prompts, no templates, no "how are you feeling today?" Just say what's actually on your mind. Loop identifies which type of cognitive loop you're in. Not vague categories. Six specific patterns: rumination, anticipatory anxiety, decision paralysis, self-criticism, relational replay, and existential questioning. Then it separates what you actually know from what you're assuming. This is the moment most people say "oh." It's the thing no other app does. WHAT YOU'LL SEE OVER TIME Loop tracks your thought patterns across weeks and months. You'll see which themes keep returning, when they spike, and whether they're actually shifting. Not mood charts. The architecture of your thinking, made visible. Explore any theme to understand why it keeps coming back. Loop surfaces the protective function behind your patterns, the reason your mind keeps looping, even when it doesn't feel helpful. WHO THIS IS FOR People with anxious rumination who replay conversations and catastrophize outcomes. ADHD-style thought spirals and decision paralysis. Overthinking that masquerades as problem-solving. People in therapy who want a tool to process between sessions. WHAT THIS IS NOT Loop is not a therapist, not a chatbot, and not a mood tracker. It's a structured mirror. It reflects your thinking back with clarity. No diagnosis, no advice, no guilt. It never pressures you with streaks or notifications. It's here when you need it. VOICE-FIRST BY DESIGN Most journaling apps ask you to type. But when you're spiraling, writing feels like work. Loop is built for your voice. Speak naturally, and the app handles the rest. Text input is there too, whenever you prefer it. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Entries are encrypted and stored securely. Loop will never sell your data or use it for advertising. Your thoughts belong to you. PRICING Journal as much as you want, for free, forever. Voice entries, AI reflections, and your full journal history cost nothing. Loop Mind Clarity unlocks pattern tracking: recurring themes, triggers, fact vs. assumption trends, and deeper exploration of why your brain keeps looping. — Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://loopmind.care/privacy
