When your mind won't let go of something, Overthink Less helps you step out of the loop in about two minutes. WHEN IT'S LOUD Tap "I'm overthinking right now." Three long breaths out settle your body first. Then untangle the thought with one simple technique β€” sort it, name it, step back, or be kind to yourself β€” and choose one small step for now, later today or tomorrow. It works with sound off. A DAILY PRACTICE, ONLY IF YOU WANT ONE A few quiet minutes in the evening to close the day's loops: settle what's still open, notice one thing that went okay, and set tomorrow's first step. Or in the morning, to start clear, with a place to park a worry until evening. Skip any day: there are no streaks, and nothing is counted against you. Each practice adds a thread to your Weave, a quiet record of the moments you showed up for yourself. 26 GUIDED PRACTICES β€’ When it's a lot: Quick Reset, Panic Pause, Storm Pass, Ground in 90 Seconds β€’ Untangle: Thought Loop Breaker, Decision Spiral Reset, Social Overthinking Reset, Close the Workday and more β€’ Breathe: Box Breathing, 4-7-8 Breathing, Slow Descent β€’ Ground: Barefoot Grounding, Water Break Reset, Morning Reset β€’ Sleep: Night Wind-Down, Body Scan, Sleep Story, Quiet the 2am Mind, 3am Rescue GUIDES THAT END IN SOMETHING TO DO 20 short reads, like why the mind gets louder at night, how a thought becomes a spiral, or what to do when one message keeps replaying. Each one ends with a practice you can start right away. MADE TO BE CALM β€’ Two narrator voices, Nora and Hearth, or no voice at all β€’ Rain, ocean or night sounds under any practice β€’ Soft haptics that pace your breathing, useful with your eyes closed β€’ Start from Siri or the Shortcuts app: "Untangle a loop in Overthink Less" β€’ Optional gentle reminders for your daily practice and your small steps PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no in-app purchases. What you write stays on your device. If you choose to share anonymous usage, the app sends only general facts, such as that an exercise was finished β€” never what you write. You can change your answer any time in Settings. Overthink Less is a self-help tool for everyday overthinking. It isn't medical or mental health care, and it isn't a crisis service. If you're in crisis, contact your local emergency number; Need more support? in the app links to helplines worldwide.
