Living with OCD means managing more than habits. It means tracking intrusive thoughts, mental loops, compulsions, rituals, and anxiety that can take over your day. Ocetra helps you log what matters so you can break the cycle with insight and structure. Ocetra is an OCD tracker built for real life. Whether you are in therapy, practicing ERP, or starting to understand your patterns, Ocetra gives you a clear, judgment-free space to track progress, triggers, and goals. LOG OBSESSIONS AND THOUGHTS Track unwanted thoughts as they happen. Use categories like contamination, harm, symmetry, relational, religious, or taboo OCD. Rate distress and add notes to build awareness and reduce confusion later. TRACK COMPULSIONS Log rituals like checking, washing, counting, repeating, or seeking reassurance. Mark how long they lasted and what triggered them. Identify patterns and see when rituals go up or down across time. BUILD ERP GOALS Create exposures, track pre-task anxiety, and log whether or not you completed them. Record distress before and after. Build ERP consistency and confidence without guessing what you did last time. UNDERSTAND TRIGGERS Log internal and external triggers including thoughts, places, people, or random cues. See what situations bring up spikes so you can be prepared or discuss them in therapy. TRACK MOOD AND FUNCTION Log how OCD affects your mood, energy, and ability to focus, socialize, or rest. Add sleep, irritability, or avoidance patterns. Build a full picture of how OCD shows up in your daily life. REVIEW PROGRESS Charts show distress ratings, trigger frequency, completed ERP goals, and compulsion logs over time. Get a clear sense of what is improving and what still needs work. Even small wins count. SHARE WITH THERAPY Export detailed logs in PDF or CSV for therapists or psychiatrists. Bring structured data to CBT or ERP sessions.

Manage OCD, intrusive thoughts, and rumination in just 10 minutes a day. RumiNot is a CBT-based self-help app for OCD, obsessive thoughts, compulsive urges, reassurance-seeking, mental checking, and anxiety-driven rumination. So you can feel calmer, clearer, and more in control of your mind. You deserve peace from the loop. OCD shouldn’t get to run your day. With personalized 10-minute daily sessions, RumiNot helps you build mental discipline, confidence, and clarity so you can spend less time stuck in obsessive spirals and more time living your life. RumiNot is a personal dojo for your mind, designed for people navigating OCD, intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and the exhausting need to “figure it out.” We guide you through gentle techniques rooted in CBT principles to help you relate differently to sticky thoughts. Created by people who understand how overwhelming OCD and rumination can feel, RumiNot gives you practical tools to help train your mind one day at a time. Who RumiNot is for... Do you ever: - Get stuck replaying the same thought over and over? - Feel an urgent need to “solve” a doubt before you can relax? - Seek reassurance from others, online searches, or yourself? - Mentally check how you feel, what you meant, or whether something is “true”? - Worry that having a thought means something bad about you? - Spend hours analyzing, comparing, reviewing, or trying to feel certain? - Feel trapped in “what if?” spirals even when part of you knows it’s OCD? This pattern is common in OCD. Intrusive thoughts can latch onto anything that matters to you and create exhausting cycles of doubt, fear, checking, rumination, and reassurance-seeking. RumiNot helps you build skills to manage OCD, intrusive thoughts, compulsive urges, and anxiety-driven mental loops. How your training works...

Through guided conversations rooted in CBT principles, you’ll learn to: - See intrusive thoughts for what they are: mental noise, not facts - Separate real concerns from OCD-driven doubts - Gently interrupt compulsions like reassurance-seeking, checking, and rumination - Build tolerance for uncertainty - Respond to obsessive thoughts with more calm and less fear One session at a time, you’ll build a healthier relationship with your mind and learn to spend less energy arguing with OCD.

AI companions that match your style - Choose from different AI personalities that feel natural, supportive, and understanding of OCD, intrusive thoughts, and rumination. Progress tracking that keeps you motivated - Level up, build streaks, and unlock awards that reflect your growing clarity, confidence, and consistency. Daily reminders - Stay consistent with subtle nudges so your new skills become everyday habits. A private, secure space - A dedicated place to work through OCD, intrusive thoughts, and rumination without judgment. Subscription Information...
