Knots
Read full descriptionHide full description
Knots is a CBT-based reflection tool designed to help you work through difficult thoughts, identify thinking patterns, and develop more balanced perspectives. When emotions are strong, it can be difficult to separate facts from assumptions. Knots guides you through a structured process to slow down, examine your thoughts, and explore alternative ways of seeing a situation. Instead of simply recording what happened, Knots helps you understand how you interpret experiences and how those interpretations shape your emotions. CORE FEATURES CBT-Based Thought Reframing Use proven cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to examine stressful thoughts, challenge assumptions, and create more balanced perspectives. Identify Thinking Patterns Recognize common cognitive patterns that can influence how you experience situations, including: Jumping to conclusions Catastrophizing All-or-nothing thinking Negative assumptions Overgeneralizing Guided Reflection Follow a simple step-by-step process to move from an automatic thought to a clearer understanding of what is really happening. Build Self-Awareness Over time, notice recurring thought patterns and develop a deeper understanding of your reactions, emotions, and perspectives. A Private Space For Reflection Knots is designed for personal reflection without pressure, judgment, or complicated tracking. WHY KNOTS? Everyone gets caught in difficult thought loops. A conversation that keeps replaying. A worry about the future. A situation that feels bigger than it is. Knots helps you create space between an event and your interpretation of it. By examining your thoughts with curiosity, you can develop a clearer and more balanced perspective. THE STORY BEHIND KNOTS Knots was created around a simple idea: our thoughts can sometimes feel tangled, making it difficult to see situations clearly. CBT provides practical tools for understanding the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Knots makes these tools accessible through a simple reflection experience you can use whenever you need a different perspective.
Obsessed

Obsessed is not a wellness app. It does not celebrate you for showing up. It takes the goal you claim, turns it into a standard, and checks every day whether your actions matched it. YOU BRING YOUR OWN TRAINING Type in the split you already run, import it from Strong, Hevy or FitNotes, paste a written program, or copy a friend's with an eight-character code. If you would rather we wrote one, we will. Either way it becomes the standard you are held to - and it learns: finish a session we never prescribed and that weekday becomes part of your week. PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD, DECIDED BY THE WORK Top your rep range on every set and the weight goes up. Come up short and it holds. Leave early and it holds too - no easier target for doing less. Drop sets, back-offs, warm-ups and sets to failure are each judged on their own terms. FOOD, CHECKED AGAINST THE GOAL YOU CLAIMED Type what you ate in your own words, or enter the barcode and get the numbers off the box. We do not recommend a diet. We check whether what you logged aligns with the goal you set - calories and protein, two-sided and asymmetric, with the tolerance your goal actually implies. A GRADE EVERY DAY, AND A RECEIPT EVERY WEEK Training and nutrition fold into one letter, S to F. Monday morning brings a receipt: sessions trained, aligned days, what moved on the bar, what it cost you. CONSEQUENCES THAT MEAN SOMETHING Three bad days and you are on The Bench for seven - locked out, history kept. Injury, sickness and emergencies are answered honestly, and you get one waiver a month. Travel is declared in advance, not used as an excuse afterwards. Two clean weeks at an A clears a strike. THREE VOICES Locked In is direct. Obsessed is sharper. Possessed does not let anything go. The voice changes; the standard never does. Obsessed attacks the behaviour, never the person. Obsessed is $14.99/month or $89.99/year, starting with a 14-day free trial. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings.
