TicCoach — calm, kind tic support, built by someone who gets it. TicCoach is a warm companion for kids, teens, and adults living with tics and Tourette syndrome. It's grounded in CBIT (Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics) — the most-studied behavioral approach for tics — and turns it into small, doable steps. The goal isn't to "stop" your tics; it's to understand them, build your own tools, and feel more in control. YOUR PLAN, ONE STEP AT A TIME A guided journey teaches CBIT in plain, kid-friendly language: understand your tics → notice the urge → build your own "swap" (a calm move that makes a tic harder to do) → try it → see what helps. A COACH IN YOUR POCKET Chat with TicCoach, a friendly AI coach, for encouragement and answers — or tap "Build with TicCoach" for personalized swap ideas for your specific tic and situation. Supportive and educational — never a diagnosis. TRACK & UNDERSTAND Log tics with stress, trigger, and mood. A color-coded calendar and trend insights reveal your patterns — stress, screens, sleep, social moments — without judgment. LEARN A warm, plain-language library on tics, CBIT, the premonitory urge, breathing, and coping. FOR PARENTS A dedicated Parents Hub: supporting your child, easing anxiety, and working with schools. IN-THE-MOMENT CALM A tough moment? Tap "I'm Struggling Right Now" for instant breathing and grounding. CELEBRATE EFFORT Daily streaks, milestone badges, and a "Win of the Day" — because showing up is the win. We never make tic counts something you can "fail." PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no sign-in. Your logs and personal info stay on your device. No ads, ever. — TicCoach is an educational self-management tool — not a medical device, and not a replacement for professional care. Always work with a qualified clinician for a full CBIT program. In crisis, contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
