Stutter Coach vs Gate

Private speech practice for adults who stutter. As often as you want, in your own voice, on your own device. Stutter Coach gives you a patient, private space to practice the fluency techniques your speech-language pathologist recommends — or to explore them on your own. All audio recognition runs on-device. Your practice sessions, your scripts, and your recordings never leave your phone. PRACTICE LIBRARY Structured exercises covering the techniques that matter: easy onsets, prolonged speech, cancellations, pull-outs, voluntary stuttering, and voluntary disclosure rehearsal. Curated by difficulty, filterable by technique. REAL-TIME FLUENCY VISUALIZATION A single calm line represents your voice during practice. When you speak fluently, it holds steady. When a block happens, it notes it — without judgment, without alarm. Your practice data stays yours. AVOIDANCE JOURNAL The core of modern adult fluency therapy: tracking what you avoid. Daily prompts help you notice the words you swapped and the situations you skipped. Patterns become visible. Awareness leads to choice. PROGRESS DASHBOARD See your speech rate, fluency metrics, blocks, and session history over time. Track 7 days, 30 days, or your full history.

Your practice is your own. — "Speech therapy is expensive, often inaccessible, and most adults who stutter cannot practice between sessions because they need a listener. Stutter Coach is that patient listener." — Note: Stutter Coach is a practice tool and is not a substitute for professional speech-language pathology services. Consult a board-certified specialist in fluency disorders for clinical treatment. ——— Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://brainrash.com/apps/stutter-coach/privacy

Your alarm goes off, and your apps are gated. Enjoy a screen-free morning or take some steps, and your apps will be open by the time you are back at your front door. HOW IT WORKS: The Gate goes up at your chosen start time. It comes down once you've gotten your steps, or at your chosen end time - whichever is first. All up to you: which apps you'd like gated, your desired schedule, and the number of steps. Set your schedule: Choose which days of the week you want Gated. You can always adjust later. Pick when the gate goes up, and when it should come down if you haven't hit your step goal. That way, you can still have a screen-free morning. How long of a walk? Set how many steps you'd like to take before the Gate comes down. 100 is completing your morning routine. 2,000 is a twenty-minute stroll around the neighborhood. 7,000 is an entire workday. WHY GATE What happens after your alarm is where your morning actually goes. Waking up early is great, but it's easy to spend the 40 minutes after your alarm scrolling. Gate closes the gap between your alarm and actually starting your day. Some days you may not want to go for a walk, and that's okay. Your apps are gated until you hit your step count or until your set time for the Gate to come down - that way, you can still have a screen-free morning. HOW IT WORKS Choose your apps. Anything you'd rather not open first thing. Choose your goal. Anywhere from 100 to 20,000 steps, set separately for each day of the week. Choose your mornings. A rise time, a come-down time, and rest days where nothing is locked. Then walk. The gate comes down the moment you reach your goal when you tap Check my steps on the block screen or open a blocked app, and on its own within roughly fifteen to twenty minutes in the background. WHAT'S IN IT A step ring on the home screen that changes with the morning - waiting, holding, open, done. A Lock Screen Live Activity, so you can see how far you've come without unlocking. An optional alarm that rings the moment the gate goes up. Snoozing it doesn't move the gate. A month log. The mornings you made, in a row you can read at a glance. A hold-to-open override — ten seconds, no questions asked. It's counted, not judged. One notification a day, when the gate opens. Never a reminder, never a nudge, never a streak. QUIET BY DESIGN No streak notifications. No badges. No leaderboards. No confetti. Gate speaks before something is about to happen and stays out of the way afterward. Miss a morning, and nothing is broken — the next one starts clean. PRIVACY No analytics. No ads. No tracking. No third-party code of any kind.
