TicCoach vs Clareia

TicCoach — calm, kind tic support, built by someone who gets it. TicCoach is a warm companion for kids, teens, and adults living with tics and Tourette syndrome. It's grounded in CBIT (Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics) — the most-studied behavioral approach for tics — and turns it into small, doable steps. The goal isn't to "stop" your tics; it's to understand them, build your own tools, and feel more in control. YOUR PLAN, ONE STEP AT A TIME A guided journey teaches CBIT in plain, kid-friendly language: understand your tics → notice the urge → build your own "swap" (a calm move that makes a tic harder to do) → try it → see what helps. A COACH IN YOUR POCKET Chat with TicCoach, a friendly AI coach, for encouragement and answers — or tap "Build with TicCoach" for personalized swap ideas for your specific tic and situation. Supportive and educational — never a diagnosis. TRACK & UNDERSTAND Log tics with stress, trigger, and mood. A color-coded calendar and trend insights reveal your patterns — stress, screens, sleep, social moments — without judgment. LEARN A warm, plain-language library on tics, CBIT, the premonitory urge, breathing, and coping. FOR PARENTS A dedicated Parents Hub: supporting your child, easing anxiety, and working with schools. IN-THE-MOMENT CALM A tough moment? Tap "I'm Struggling Right Now" for instant breathing and grounding. CELEBRATE EFFORT Daily streaks, milestone badges, and a "Win of the Day" — because showing up is the win. We never make tic counts something you can "fail." PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no sign-in. Your logs and personal info stay on your device. No ads, ever. — TicCoach is an educational self-management tool — not a medical device, and not a replacement for professional care. Always work with a qualified clinician for a full CBIT program. In crisis, contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Clareia is a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) journal to help you understand your thoughts, name your emotions and follow your emotional progress over time — with real privacy, not just promised privacy. HOW IT WORKS With each entry, Clareia guides you through the classic CBT method: • Situation: what happened • Automatic Thought: what went through your mind • Emotion and initial intensity: what you felt, and how strongly • Evidence for and against that thought • Thinking Traps: identify common cognitive distortions • Alternative Thought: a more balanced way of seeing the situation • Behaviour and final intensity: what you did, and how the emotion felt afterwards • Summary: see it all together at the end TRACK YOUR PROGRESS In the insights panel, Clareia shows your thought patterns, how your emotions evolve and comparisons between entries — so you can see progress that no single entry reveals. EXTRA TOOLS • Imagery Tools: guided techniques for automatic thoughts that show up as mental images rather than words • First Step: break big tasks into steps small enough to start today REAL PRIVACY Your entries are protected with end-to-end encryption: the content is encrypted on your device with a privacy password only you know, before it ever leaves your phone. Not even Clareia can read what you write. YOU DECIDE WHAT LEAVES HERE If you are in therapy, you can show your entries to your psychologist — and the control is entirely yours: • Who: the connection only happens if you generate the code, and you see the professional's name before releasing anything • What: only aggregate patterns, without the text you wrote, or specific entries you pick one by one • How long: access expires on its own, and you can end it earlier at any time Nothing is sent without you confirming with your privacy password. The "Who saw my data" screen keeps a history of everything you have shared. You can use Clareia as a guest, without creating an account, or sign in with Google or Apple to sync your entries across devices. Clareia shows no ads, does not sell your data and uses no advertising tracking. Clareia does not provide diagnoses, does not replace therapy or medical care, and is not intended for emergencies. It is intended for users aged 16 and over.
