About

Relief

Read full description

Relief is a private, CBT-based companion for untangling anxious, stressful, and self-critical thoughts - and seeing them more clearly. When a thought is spinning you out, Relief walks you through the step-by-step reframing process used in cognitive behavioral therapy: • Capture the automatic thought and rate how distressing it feels • Spot the cognitive distortion behind it (catastrophizing, all-or-nothing thinking, mind-reading, and more) • Weigh the evidence for and against it • Write a balanced, kinder reframe • Rate your distress again, and see what actually changed Over time, Relief turns your reframes into gentle insight: which thinking traps show up most, in which parts of your life, and how your entries change - so you're not only working through today's thought, you're learning how your own mind works. WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE RELIEF • Truly private - everything lives on your device, encrypted. No account, no cloud, no one reading your thoughts. • Works offline - open it anytime, anywhere, even with no signal. • Built on real CBT - the reframing flow and distortion library are grounded in established cognitive behavioral techniques. • Calm, focused design - no feeds, no noise, no pressure. Just you and a clearer thought. • Made for real moments - quick enough for a short reset, deep enough for a daily journaling practice. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Reframe negative and anxious thoughts with guided CBT steps • Learn to recognize 10+ common cognitive distortions • Rate your distress before and after each reframe • Build a private, searchable thought journal • Keep a personal support plan and crisis resources - always free, on every plan • Set review reminders so a reframe comes back when it is useful • Unlock pattern summaries - recurring distortions, contexts, and review cues (Premium) WHO IT'S FOR Anyone navigating anxiety, stress, overthinking, self-doubt, or a harsh inner critic. Whether you're in therapy and want to practice between sessions, or simply want a kinder, calmer relationship with your own mind - Relief meets you where you are. Your thoughts are yours alone. Relief just helps you see them more clearly. Relief is a self-help tool, not a substitute for professional diagnosis or treatment. If you're in crisis, please contact a local emergency line or the resources listed in the app. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
