About

OCD Toolkit

Features
Read full description

OCD Toolkit is a free collection of tools designed to help you manage OCD β€” built by someone who deals with it too. No subscriptions. No paywalls. Just tools that help. What's inside: Log - Track your compulsions and triggers over time. Logging what's happening is one of the most powerful first steps in understanding your OCD patterns β€” and gives you something real to discuss with your therapist. Breathe - A guided 4-7-8 breathing exercise to help calm your nervous system when anxiety spikes. Simple, proven, and always available. Resist - A compulsion resistance timer. When the urge to carry out a compulsion hits, Resist helps you sit with that discomfort and watch it pass β€” one of the core principles of ERP therapy. Remind - A collection of insight cards covering OCD, intrusive thoughts, and recovery. Swipe through them or get one at random when you need a reminder that you're not alone and recovery is possible. Checked? - A verification tool designed to help you break the checking cycle. Get the reassurance that the urge is asking for β€” once β€” and then move on. OCD Toolkit isn't a replacement for professional support. If you're struggling, please reach out to a therapist or OCD specialist. This app is a companion for the work you're already doing β€” not a substitute for it.

When you try to open them, DrinkFirst puts water first: take a normal drink, let on-device AI verify it, and your apps unlock for the amount of time you choose. DRINK FIRST. SCROLL SECOND. You already remember to check your phone. DrinkFirst uses that existing habit as a cue to hydrate β€” without adding another reminder to dismiss or another glass to log.
