LoopBreakr vs Thought Record

Loop Breaker helps you notice when your mind is starting to spiral — and gives you a simple way back. Instead of waiting until things are fully sideways, Loop Breaker checks in gently, learns your patterns locally, and helps you reach for a calm-down kit when you need one. WHAT IT DOES • Quick check-ins Answer how you’re doing in one tap. No journaling homework. No account. • “In the red” support When you feel activated, overwhelmed, or close to spiraling, tap “In the red” to go straight into your personal calm-down kit. • Adaptive reminders Loop Breaker starts with gentle check-ins and adjusts over time based on your responses. • Custom toolkit Use built-in resets like breathing, grounding, movement, cold reset, and naming what’s happening — or add your own. • Optional Body-Aware mode Body-Aware is free during the app beta and can use Apple Health data, with your permission, to add helpful context to check-ins. This data never leaves your phone. • Local-first privacy Your check-ins, toolkit history, notes, and Apple Health-derived Body-Aware baseline stay on your device. Loop Breaker does not require an account.

Thought Record is a quiet place to untangle a stressful moment, the way you would on a paper CBT worksheet — but built for your phone. WRITE IT OUT Describe the situation, name how it felt, then free-write everything going through your head. No prompts interrupting you, no character limits. HIGHLIGHT THE THOUGHTS Sweep your finger over the sentences that sting — like running a highlighter across the page. NAME THE THINKING ERRORS Label each highlighted thought with common thinking errors (cognitive distortions): all-or-nothing thinking, catastrophizing, mind reading, fortune telling, and more. FIND A MORE BALANCED THOUGHT Re-read what you wrote with the labels in view, then write the calmer, fairer version. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE • No account, no sign-in, no server — the app never makes a network request • Everything you write stays on your device • No analytics, no ads, no AI reading your words • Export a clean printable copy to keep or share with your therapist, or a JSON backup of everything AN HONEST NOTE ABOUT YOUR DATA Because entries live only on your device, deleting the app deletes them. Export regularly — this is a working notepad, not long-term storage. Thought Record is free and open source. It is a self-help writing tool, not therapy, medical advice, or a medical device. Many therapists use thought records as homework between sessions — bring your exports along.
