Write your anxieties down. Pick them up later. Maybe. If you remember them. You probably won't. This is a place to put the things you can't stop thinking about, so you can stop thinking about them. Anxious thoughts take up valuable real estate in your head — even the small ones. The 17 unread voicemails. The email you sent yesterday. The thing you'll have completely forgotten about by Thursday but cannot stop replaying right now. The time you called that guy by the wrong name and even though he didn't seem to mind you're still worried that maybe he minded. Just a generic example. Drop them here. Not a journal. Not a therapy app. More like a coat check: leave it in a safe place, go be a person, come back when you're ready. When you do come back, the app (with AI) helps you work through it if you want. It won't say "I hear that this landed somewhere uncomfortable." It won't tilt its head and reflect your feelings back at you. It sounds like a real friend who's watched you spiral before and has opinions about it. It helps you figure out what you're actually dealing with: → Something you can do something about: smallest next step, let's go. → Something you're catastrophizing: "ok but has this actually happened, or are we 14 hypotheticals deep?" → Something real but not solvable tonight: put it down. We mean it. Cross it off when you're done. Or don't. Some things just quietly stop mattering — that's a valid outcome too. What this app doesn't do: No therapy voice. No streaks. No check-ins. No tracking. No ads. No account. No email. No name. We have enough of our own anxieties. We don't read yours. The AI is Anthropic's Claude. Your text routes through a small relay we run that doesn't log or store it. This app isn't a substitute for professional mental health care. If you're in crisis, call or text 988 — the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (US, 24/7).
