Re-Align Lab is a habit tracker and self-care / goal framework that doesn't rely on streaks: it's built for burnout recovery and beating perfectionism by nudging you to form values-based goals and experiments. This is a tool to design your life around something meaningful and long-lasting. Who this is for: People navigating burnout, overwork, or the exhausting pressure of toxic productivity. It's for people who are tired of feeling guilty after breaking a streak, and for perfectionists who have pushed themselves too far just to keep a streak or chart looking good. It's for people who want to find a kinder, calmer, more sustainable way of building flexible routines and reaching their goals, who don't want to feel punished for taking a break or slowing down when they need it - because not every day looks the same, and not every day has to go exactly according to plan either. It's for people who want to digitally track their progress (do x 3 times a week) without feeling obligated to schedule or quantify that progress in rigid detail. Choose the level of flexible tracking that works for your life and make space to grow at your own pace. Instead of relying on streaks for motivation, Re-Align Lab uses a combination of core values and design cues that make it easier to reset or resume your progress. The gentler design is great for recovering perfectionists, busy professionals, frequent travelers, new parents or anyone with a less predictable or consistent schedule. If you've tried wellness and productivity apps and found them too gamified, too rigid, or too loud, and wanted something more customizable without sacrificing accountability: this was designed for you. --- What if you could opt in to a system that supports your real life, even when things get messy? Whether you're working on your health, exploring creativity, or learning to pause and rest without guilt, Re-Align Lab helps you find balance between self-care and productivity. • Values Compass to shape goals around what matters to you • Memory Jar to capture good memories and practice gratitude • Highly customizable goals, routines and flexible habit tracking: pause, simplify, or expand at any time - for people who are tired of rigid systems and prescribed plans • Ability to track your progress at your pace, no streaks or unnecessary pressure • 100 experiment ideas for improving your life, reaching your potential and finding the behavior change strategies that work for you • Flexible task management, including gentle mental cues to help you adapt your productivity to your energy and other needs • Guided journaling with reflection questions grounded in DBT and ACT frameworks • 100% local, privacy-first, your data stays on your device • No auto-billing: you choose whether to subscribe or invest in a lifetime access plan --- Re-Align Lab is not an AI coach. It's a framework of tools for supporting your well-being through more gentle, flexible productivity. --- Your data stays yours: Re-Align Lab operates with a privacy-first philosophy.

You know the pattern. You just recognize it too late. The overthinking before you send a message. The people-pleasing that turns into resentment. The burst of motivation that disappears before you finish. The shutdown you only understand afterward. Unloop helps you see what keeps repeating, understand what's underneath it, and try another way to respond. Each pattern becomes a character you can recognize, question and speak with, so the loop gets a voice and you can hear what it's trying to protect. No perfect streaks. No punishment for disappearing. No requirement to have it figured out. Not broken. Just looping. SEE YOUR PATTERN Answer a few questions about what keeps happening. See your loop mapped across thoughts, feelings, actions and consequences, then meet the character that lives inside it, in a world of its own. Its story continues through your first month. EXPLORE WHAT'S UNDERNEATH Your reading offers three angles on the pattern. Pick the one that lands and go deeper. What sets it off? What does it protect? What does it cost you afterward? PREPARE FOR A REAL MOMENT A date, a meeting, a hard conversation coming up? Tell your character what's ahead and meet the feeling before you're in it. See its shape, hear its sound, shake your phone to feel how it moves, set how big it is. Leave with one small move, and come back after to see how it went. TALK WITH YOUR PATTERN Speak with your character in real time and hear it answer as the pattern itself. Question its reasoning, ask what it fears, notice where its voice shows up in your life. Text works too. LET SOMEONE TALK TO IT Send a link to a partner, a parent or a friend. They ask your character what sets it off, what happens inside you and what helps, and it answers for you, in your words. Nothing for them to install. You choose what it knows, you see what they asked, and they can leave you a note. PICK UP YOUR THREAD Bring a moment from your day or a thought that keeps circling. Thread connects it to what you've already explored, so you never start from the beginning. FIND A WAY OUT Choose a small, optional move grounded in your situation, three ways: something to say, something to notice, or something to feel. Try it, then come back with what you found. Adjust it or pick another direction when you're ready. KEEP WHAT YOU DISCOVER Moves gathers what you've tried and saved into a hand of cards. Put the one you're trying on your Home Screen or Lock Screen so it's there when the moment comes. Open any loop for its teachings. Unloop is for the everyday loops that are hard to see from inside: - Overthinking and second-guessing - People-pleasing and the resentment after - Avoidance and putting it off - Pulling away when things get close - Starting strong, never finishing - The same fight, the same silence, again The first questions, your character reveal, your first reading and your first Prepare session are free. A subscription unlocks deeper exploration and ongoing work with your patterns. Your loops are private by default and never used to train AI. Unloop is an AI-assisted self-reflection and personal growth tool. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment or crisis support, and is not a replacement for a qualified healthcare professional. SUBSCRIPTION Unloop offers two auto-renewing subscriptions: Unloop Annual, with a 7-day free trial for eligible subscribers, and Unloop Monthly, billed monthly with no free trial. Current prices and trial terms are shown before you subscribe. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase or after any free trial. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.
