Get it out. See how you think. loopmind helps you see how your mind works, from your own check-ins. Many people arrive because they overthink. They stay because they start to see their own patterns. Check in by voice or text whenever something is on your mind. loopmind reads it back: what you actually know, what your mind is adding, and which of seven thinking loops you're in. Mood trackers show how you feel. loopmind shows the thinking behind it. HOW IT WORKS • Check in by voice or text. No templates, no streaks. • Get a Reflection on every entry: the facts on one side, the story your mind adds on the other. • See which loop you're in, and which side of it you're on. • Answer one question, or tap Go Deeper for a few short follow-ups. SEVEN LOOPS, TWO SIDES EACH Every loop is a way of thinking with a heavier side and a lighter side: • Retrospective: rumination or reflection • Anticipatory: worry or planning • Decisional: indecision or resolve • Self-evaluative: self-criticism or growth • Relational: insecurity or connection • Existential: emptiness or meaning • Health & Somatic: health worry or body awareness YOUR MIND, OVER TIME Mind Profile: a read of how your mind tends to work, built from your own words, not a quiz. Patterns shows your month: your feelings, the people on your mind and the shape of your thinking. Over time, you may start to notice a loop while you're still in it. THE SCIENCE, BRIEFLY The loops come from research on repetitive thinking, including Borkovec on worry, Nolen-Hoeksema on rumination and Gilbert on self-criticism. Separating what happened from what you assume about it is a step psychologists have used for decades. FREE TO START Free: voice or text check-ins every day, a Reflection on every entry, your loop named, one question, a Go Deeper conversation each day, the name and shape of your Mind Profile, and your month at a glance in Patterns. WITH loopmind Clarity, YOU ALSO GET • The pattern behind each entry • Questions made for you, from your own loops and threads • Your month, read back to you • Your Mind trends, month after month • Every deep dive: your thinking day by day, your topics, your feelings • Your archetype, in full • Ask loopmind: questions about your own mind, answered from your check-ins • Go Deeper on every entry • Check in as often as you need, with voice entries up to 15 minutes IN YOUR LANGUAGE loopmind works in English, French, German and Spanish.

Overthinking can turn one small thought into hours of worry. LiveNow helps you slow that cycle down, look at what’s actually happening, and take one small step back into the present. When something is stuck in your head, write down what you’re thinking and let LiveNow guide you through a simple reset. HOW LIVENOW WORKS • Write what’s on your mind Put the thought into words — freely and without judgment. • Understand the thought LiveNow helps you look at what may be driving the worry, separate what you know from what you’re assuming, and see the situation more clearly. • Reframe your perspective Explore more realistic ways of looking at the thought and choose the perspective that feels most believable to you. • Take one small step Choose a simple action you can take right now to interrupt the cycle and shift your attention forward. YOUR MOMENTS Each completed reset becomes part of your journey. Look back at previous moments, see what was on your mind, and reflect on whether it was really worth overthinking. SEE YOUR PATTERNS Insights help you see your patterns over time, including your completed moments, active days, worries released, and the actions you use most. BUILT FOR REAL MOMENTS LiveNow is for the everyday thoughts that are difficult to let go of — waiting for a reply, replaying a conversation, worrying about what someone thinks, second-guessing yourself, or getting caught in “what if?” You don’t need to solve everything at once.

SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED LiveNow requires an active subscription to access its core features, including Resets, AI-generated reflections and reframes, Moments, and Insights.
