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.
