About

Unloop

Read full description

When OCD pulls, you have seconds to decide. Unloop is built for that moment โ€” not for meditation, not for journaling, not for reading about anxiety. Just a fast path to interrupt the loop and leave. HOW IT WORKS Tap "I'm stuck" when you feel the urge. Pick what you're pulled to do โ€” Check, Wash, Review, Ask, Search, Repeat. Wait 10 seconds with the countdown. Log what happened. Done. Total time: under 20 seconds. One hand. No typing. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Most mental health apps weren't built for crisis moments. They're too slow, too wordy, designed for calm reflection โ€” not the 10 seconds before a compulsion. Unloop is the opposite. No guided meditations. No multi-step breathing exercises. No long onboarding. Just one button, one action, and a quiet exit. NO REASSURANCE. NO JUDGMENT. Unloop never tells you your fear is irrational. It never says "you're safe" or "nothing bad happened." False reassurance makes OCD worse โ€” and we know that. Instead, the app helps you notice the urge, delay the response by 10 seconds, and log what happened. That's ERP in practice: not suppressing the thought, just not acting on it right now. PATTERN AWARENESS โ€” QUIETLY, OVER TIME After a few episodes, Unloop starts showing you where your loops happen โ€” what triggers them, when they spike, which urges are easier to delay. No raw episode counts. No totals. Just quiet insights. "Most of your loops happen on weekday mornings." "Delaying is working โ€” your average wait time has increased." BUILT AGAINST COMPULSION BY DESIGN The app will never show you a streak. It won't guilt you if you don't open it. It won't celebrate when you resist. Those things can become rituals themselves. Unloop is built to be used less over time, not more. That's the point. WHAT'S FREE โ€” FOREVER The crisis flow is free forever. No trial, no paywall on the button that matters most. You can log unlimited episodes, see your 5 most recent sessions, get 2 pattern insights, and use all built-in action chips โ€” no payment required. UNLOOP PRO Pro unlocks your full 90-day session history, complete pattern insights โ€” resistance trends, time-of-day patterns, and weekly summaries โ€” plus custom action chips to define your own compulsions and notification preferences. 7-day free trial included. Cancel anytime from Settings โ†’ Subscriptions. โ€” Unloop is not a therapy replacement. It is a behavioral tool aligned with ERP principles. If you need clinical support, please contact a qualified mental health professional. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
