stop overthinking

New: name a thought that keeps looping, park it until morning, then record whether it actually turned out to be a problem. Most of them never do.

stop overthinking is for the moments when your mind will not stop. When you are stuck in thought loops, worrying about the future, or replaying a conversation at 3am, this app is what you open.

It is not a general meditation app. It is built for one problem: anxiety that runs on words.

WHEN IT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW Tap "I'm overthinking right now" for a guided three-minute grounding session. No setup, no long introduction. Just somewhere to put your attention while the spiral loses speed.

UNHOOK A THOUGHT THAT KEEPS LOOPING Write the thought down in one sentence. Seeing it as something you are having, rather than something you are, loosens its grip. Then decide: turn it into one small next step, or park it.

PARK THE WORRY, THEN SEE WHAT HAPPENED A postponed worry loses its charge. When a parked thought comes back around, you record whether it turned out to be a problem. In a 2020 study, nine in ten worries never came true. The app keeps your own count.

JOURNALING THAT ACTUALLY HELPS 60 prompts across six categories: Unload, Soften, Ground, Reframe, Release and Settle. Unload is a plain brain dump for when your head is too full and you need somewhere to vent. The prompts rotate daily. Speak instead of typing when writing feels like too much.
