Open Step: OCD & Exposure

OpenStep is a self-guided therapeutic app for people living with OCD. Built on CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy).

22-Step Exposure Ladder
Your recovery starts where you are. A graduated system takes you from standing at your door to riding public transport and visiting a cinema — at your own pace. Each step includes instructions, duration guidance, and encouragement.

AI-Powered Cognitive Reframing
Anxiety lies. OpenStep uses AI to identify cognitive distortions like catastrophizing, fortune telling, and all-or-nothing thinking. Catch the patterns your mind uses to keep you stuck - a core skill in CBT for OCD.

Daily Affirmations
7 categories crafted for the unique challenges of agoraphobia — brave days, setback days, being far from home, navigating crowds, and more.

Structured Practice Sessions
Every practice follows a 5-phase model: Plan → Stay → Notice → Return → Reflect. Track anxiety before and after, record what your mind predicted versus what actually happened, and watch evidence of your progress grow.

Growth Journal
Capture reflections, track anxiety patterns, and build a personal record of recovery.

Daily Check-Ins
A gentle morning notification invites you to set your focus — keeping your CBT practice consistent and momentum steady.
