Patterns vs Room

Patterns is a private OCD journal and self-help practice companion. Record intrusive thoughts and compulsions, write journal entries, delay an urge, and practise exposure and response prevention (ERP). Calm Insights can replace calculated scores and streaks with factual activity counts. Personal content stays on your device unless you choose to export an unencrypted JSON backup or PDF. Optional anonymous usage analytics are off by default and never include OCD content, summaries, locale, or language choice. Patterns does not diagnose or treat OCD and is not a replacement for qualified care or emergency support.

Make room for a different response. Room brings together reflection, education and everyday practice tools for adults experiencing intrusive thoughts, rumination, recurring doubt or OCD. A SMALL DAILY ROUTINE Check in with how you feel, write through a guided reflection and take a moment to read a new perspective. Return to the activities that are useful to you, at your own pace. ERP TOOLS YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN Explore an illustrated introduction to exposure and response prevention (ERP). Browse themes, prepare and edit your own exercises, follow your saved instructions during practice and record a reflection afterward. A JOURNAL FOR YOUR EXPERIENCE Keep check-ins, notes and recorded ERP practices together. Revisit what you chose to write and the practice you completed. A SPACE TO TALK Talk offers AI-generated conversations for reflection. A paid subscription is required to send messages in Talk. Your journal, ERP tools, educational content and support tools remain free. OPTIONAL REMINDERS Choose a daily reminder in your device settings within Room to make time for your routine. ABOUT ROOM Room is an educational and self-reflection app. It does not diagnose or treat any condition, provide professional counselling or replace care from a qualified clinician. AI responses can be inaccurate. Room is not an emergency service. A qualified professional can help you decide whether ERP exercises are appropriate for your situation. SUBSCRIPTIONS Talk is available through monthly or annual auto-renewing subscriptions. Prices and billing periods are displayed before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends.
