Get it out. See how you think. Your thoughts are going in circles. Say them or type them, and Loop Mind reads them back. Get it out of your head, and see what's driving it. Every entry gets a Reflection: one line that names the thing you didn't quite say. Say you keep replaying a party, sure you talked too much, though your friend texted "so good to see you." Your Reflection might read: "The only review of that night from outside your head is the one you aren't counting." Mood trackers show how you feel. Loop Mind shows the thinking behind it. An observer, not a cheerleader. WHAT PEOPLE SAY "Definitely making me more aware of random thought loops." Charlie "I didn't realise I was thinking in loops, this is especially insightful." James, Clarity member "A bit like a pocket recorder for my thoughts." Callum, Clarity member GET IT OUT • Talk or type whatever is on your mind. No blank page, no templates, no streaks. • Not sure where to start? Every day, Today offers a fresh prompt drawn from your own entries. Tap it and just answer. • Answer out loud, and tap Listen to hear each question read to you. SEE WHAT'S UNDER IT • Your Reflection: the line, how you felt, and the loop you were in. • What you actually know, and what your mind is adding. • A question to take it further after each entry, or Go Deeper for a short conversation that replies to what you share and follows your own thread.

With time, you may start to recognize a loop while you're still in it. SEVEN LOOPS, EACH WITH TWO SIDES Inner critic. What-ifs. Replaying the past. Relationships. Decisions. Body and health. Big questions. Each can circle or move: worry or planning, rumination or reflection. Loop Mind shows you which side you're on. The loops come from research on repetitive thinking, including Borkovec on worry, Nolen-Hoeksema on rumination and Gilbert on self-criticism. FREE TO START Free, every day: a few entries by voice or text, a Reflection on each with your feelings and loops, a question after each entry, a daily prompt to get you started, one Go Deeper conversation, your thinking shape, the name of your Mind Profile, and your month at a glance in Patterns.
