About

MindLoop

Features
Read full description

MindLoop is an iOS app for self-awareness and reflection, with a recording structure inspired by cognitive behavioral therapy. It helps you organize recurring triggers, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors into visual loops, so you can understand why you keep falling into similar states and find one small step toward change. You may often experience moments like these: - You want to start, but keep putting things off until the last minute - A small event triggers anxiety, and your thoughts keep spiraling - You know you are repeating a pattern, but cannot clearly see how it happens - Journaling feels too open-ended, while productivity tools feel too complex MindLoop is not about making you perfect right away. It helps you observe yourself with more clarity and kindness.

按住麦克风,说出今晚绕在心里的那件小事。 松开手,AI 不会给你建议,它把你刚刚说过的话,凝结成一句你能带走的回响。 Arthur's Echo 不评论、不诊断、不推销好情绪。这是给「不想再被建议」的人准备的语音日记。 —— 一次录音,一次回响 —— 按住录音。说话。松开。 你会拿到一段完整的转写、一句从你自己的话里凝结出的回响,和一组安静的标签:情绪、模式、地点。 不评分。不积分。不连续打卡。 —— 周末,会有一封信 —— 记满三条之后,每个周末会有一封短信寄给你,指认这周反复出现的两到四个词、一两段时间、一两个让你停下来的地方。 信的下方是一组小图:心情条、记录热图、时间节律、词汇云、地点足迹。点任意一格,可以看完整的图。 —— 关于你的私密 —— 匿名即可使用。没有账号、没有邮箱、没有密码。原始转写只留在你的设备上。服务器只把你的话短暂交给模型,再把回响送回来,全程不存档。 —— 给愿意安静下来的你 —— 写过日记,但厌倦了空白页和键盘。 想要一个不被建议、不被诊断的地方。 对慢一点的工具有耐心。 「先注意到它,已经是觉察的开始。」
