Fetters

A contemplative app guiding you through the ten fetters of Buddhist psychology. No beliefs required — only honest looking.

THE PATH The Buddha identified ten fetters (samyojana) — mental patterns that bind us to suffering. This app guides you through each one using AI-powered self-inquiry based on the Liberation Unleashed methodology.

AI-GUIDED INQUIRY Engage in deep, personalized conversations that point you toward direct experience. Not philosophy or belief — just honest looking at what's actually here.

JOURNAL YOUR INSIGHTS Capture what you notice after each inquiry session. Writing deepens seeing. Review your journey over time.

WALK TOGETHER, ALONE See who else is looking right now. Share insights with fellow travelers on the path.

THE TEN FETTERS

1. Self-View (Sakkaya-ditthi) — The belief in a separate experiencer
2. Doubt (Vicikiccha) — Uncertainty about the path
3. Rites & Rituals (Silabbata-paramasa) — Attachment to practices
4. Sensual Desire (Kama-raga) — Craving pleasant experiences
5. Ill Will (Vyapada) — Aversion to unpleasant experiences
6. Desire for Form (Rupa-raga) — Attachment to material existence
7. Desire for Formless (Arupa-raga) — Attachment to subtle states
8. Conceit (Mana) — The sense of "I am"
9. Restlessness (Uddhacca) — Subtle mental agitation
10. Ignorance (Avijja) — Not seeing things as they are
