Narcissos

Narcissos teaches you to recognise manipulative and narcissistic behaviour in everyday situations. It is made by Mental Health Club and designed for learning, not for labelling people. Maybe you have wondered whether that message was just a bad day or part of a pattern. Narcissos helps you see the pattern and practise how you might respond. DAILY DOSE Over 1,000 everyday situations from relationships, family, work and friendship. Pick a reply and see which one is healthy, which one hurts and which one is understandable but costs you. CASE OF THE DAY A new case every day as a chat thread, email, voicemail or social post. See what is happening, what is said between the lines and what a healthy response could sound like. MESSAGE SCANNER Paste a message that stayed with you. The scanner shows how much pressure the wording carries, which patterns repeat and another way to read the situation. The result describes the message, not the person. You can also check the tone of your own message before you send it. SIMULATOR Describe a situation and pick a level from 1 to 10. See how differently someone might react, how it could feel and what a healthy version would sound like. Then practise your own reply. RECOGNITION GAME AND SPEED GAME 50 levels and 16 techniques, including gaslighting, love bombing, silent treatment, isolation and guilt-tripping. Every answer comes with an explanation and a healthy response. The speed game trains quick recognition. LEARN 18 articles in four tracks: recognise, protect, recover and look at yourself. HELP IS ALWAYS CLOSE Crisis and support lines for your country are one tap away in every view, for everyone, with or without Pro. PRO Free: the Daily Dose, the Case of the Day, the speed game, Learn, the first five game levels, and one scan and one simulation a day. Pro unlocks all 50 levels and gives you 10 scans and 10 simulations a day. Monthly and yearly subscriptions renew automatically and you can cancel them any time in your App Store settings. Lifetime Pro is a one-time purchase. PRIVACY In the AI features, the text you write is sent to Anthropic's Claude AI for analysis. We ask for your permission before the first use. Your texts are not stored on our servers and are not used to train AI. Your progress stays on your device. Narcissos does not diagnose and does not replace professional help. It is a learning tool for recognising harmful patterns in interaction.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Narcissos at every 3 days against Studious's every 5 weeks. Narcissos also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
