About

Overthinkr

Overthinkr helps you spend less time stuck in your thoughts — with one small reset a day, and quick help the moment a loop starts. Not a journal you have to fill. Not hour-long routines. Three small things a day, most of them out in real life, and a short skill every other day. YOUR OWN PLAN Tell us how your mind gets stuck — replaying conversations, what-ifs, second-guessing decisions, reading into what people think, or a mind that won't switch off at night. Overthinkr builds your plan from your answers, and every day comes with a line written for your loop. ONE SMALL RESET A DAY Every day: three small, doable things and, every other day, one short skill — noticing when your brain is guessing, letting a thought pass, deciding with what you know. Tick them off in any order. No streak to lose: a missed day simply waits for you. WHEN YOUR MIND GETS LOUD • Untangle — write down what's taking up space in your head and get it sorted, in under a minute: what actually happened, what your mind added, what you can control, one thing to do now. • I'm spiraling — pick what's happening and get one tool for it. • Can't sleep — a quiet, dark two minutes for 2 a.m. • Thought Dump — put it all down, sort it yourself, let it go. • Nine more tools of one to three minutes: breathing, grounding, worry later, and others. IT KEEPS GOING Week one is the start. Continue into 14, 30, 60, 90 or 365 days on the same path — every day you've done comes with you. Add short five-day resets for the moments that need them (work stress, sleep, replaying conversations, a breakup) and seven-day life challenges that take you outside, off your phone, back to your hands and to people. SEE IT ADD UP Progress shows the days you showed up, how your mind felt across the week, and patterns in what you logged — real numbers from what you did, never a score or a diagnosis. Weekly Rewind looks back at your week. A home-screen widget keeps today's three things in view. PRIVATE BY DESIGN What you write is never stored on our servers — or sold. Untangle sends your words to be sorted and keeps none of them. Everything else stays on your phone. Overthinkr is a wellness tool, not therapy. It doesn't diagnose or treat anything. If you're in crisis, please contact a professional or emergency services. Overthinkr is a subscription app. Plans and prices are shown before you buy; subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period, and can be managed in your App Store settings.
