You know the pattern. You just recognize it too late. The overthinking before you send a message. The people-pleasing that turns into resentment. The burst of motivation that disappears before you finish. The shutdown you only understand afterward. Unloop helps you see what keeps repeating, understand what's underneath it, and try another way to respond. Each pattern becomes a character you can recognize, question and speak with, so the loop gets a voice and you can hear what it's trying to protect. No perfect streaks. No punishment for disappearing. No requirement to have it figured out. Not broken. Just looping. SEE YOUR PATTERN Answer a few questions about what keeps happening. See your loop mapped across thoughts, feelings, actions and consequences, then meet the character that lives inside it, in a world of its own. Its story continues through your first month. EXPLORE WHAT'S UNDERNEATH Your reading offers three angles on the pattern. Pick the one that lands and go deeper. What sets it off? What does it protect? What does it cost you afterward? PREPARE FOR A REAL MOMENT A date, a meeting, a hard conversation coming up? Tell your character what's ahead and meet the feeling before you're in it. See its shape, hear its sound, shake your phone to feel how it moves, set how big it is. Leave with one small move, and come back after to see how it went. TALK WITH YOUR PATTERN Speak with your character in real time and hear it answer as the pattern itself. Question its reasoning, ask what it fears, notice where its voice shows up in your life. Text works too. LET SOMEONE TALK TO IT Send a link to a partner, a parent or a friend. They ask your character what sets it off, what happens inside you and what helps, and it answers for you, in your words. Nothing for them to install. You choose what it knows, you see what they asked, and they can leave you a note. PICK UP YOUR THREAD Bring a moment from your day or a thought that keeps circling. Thread connects it to what you've already explored, so you never start from the beginning. FIND A WAY OUT Choose a small, optional move grounded in your situation, three ways: something to say, something to notice, or something to feel. Try it, then come back with what you found. Adjust it or pick another direction when you're ready. KEEP WHAT YOU DISCOVER Moves gathers what you've tried and saved into a hand of cards. Put the one you're trying on your Home Screen or Lock Screen so it's there when the moment comes. Open any loop for its teachings. Unloop is for the everyday loops that are hard to see from inside: - Overthinking and second-guessing - People-pleasing and the resentment after - Avoidance and putting it off - Pulling away when things get close - Starting strong, never finishing - The same fight, the same silence, again The first questions, your character reveal, your first reading and your first Prepare session are free. A subscription unlocks deeper exploration and ongoing work with your patterns. Your loops are private by default and never used to train AI. Unloop is an AI-assisted self-reflection and personal growth tool. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment or crisis support, and is not a replacement for a qualified healthcare professional. SUBSCRIPTION Unloop offers two auto-renewing subscriptions: Unloop Annual, with a 7-day free trial for eligible subscribers, and Unloop Monthly, billed monthly with no free trial. Current prices and trial terms are shown before you subscribe. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase or after any free trial.

About

Glissa

Features
Read full description

Glissa is an inner glow up journal with nothing to write. It gives you a number for how much of you is showing right now, then gets the rest back one small dare at a time. Thirty seconds a day, tapping only. Most of what gets put away goes quietly. A yes that should have been a no, a joke about something you actually love, an opinion swallowed so the evening stayed easy. Over enough years the habits that kept the peace stop feeling like habits and start feeling like personality. Glissa is built to find them and give them back. - Find out how much of you got put away A short quiz gives you one number for how much of you is showing, and names the four patterns holding the rest. People pleasing, anxious attachment, hyper-independence, downplaying, or one of the others. - See the pattern behind what happened today One check-in a day, about thirty seconds. Tap what happened and Glissa shows which pattern it came from. Each tap shrinks that pattern a little, and you can type instead whenever you want to. - Take back more of yourself, one dare a week Something small to go and do in your actual life, built from your own answers. A piece of you comes back the moment you log it, and a dare you skip costs you nothing. It waits. - Vent, then know what to do next time Type what happened, at any length. Glissa asks one question at a time until it can hand you one thing to try next time it comes up. - Understand the habit and stop blaming yourself Every pattern comes with a short read on where it started. The method behind the whole app is drawn from published studies, each one cited inside it. - Watch it working Your number sits on a scale from Flickering to Magnetic and moves when you do. It never goes down. - Your words stay on your phone There is no account to make. Everything you tap or type is stored on your device, and you can delete all of it whenever you want. The vent's questions come from a language model, and nothing you write goes to it until you say yes inside the app. Glissa is free to download. The full app is a subscription, weekly or yearly, and you can cancel any time in your App Store settings. Glissa is a self-help tool and does not replace therapy. If you are in a crisis, it shows you who to call. The glow up that starts on the inside. Terms of use: https://glissa.io/terms Privacy policy: https://glissa.io/privacy
