I had really bad health anxiety the last 2 years that severely impacted my quality of life. I started using Claude for support and was surprised by how much it helped. I realised how much potential there is for LLMs to provide an objective perspective on stressful thoughts - so I built an app that helps you form a habit around this to reduce long term anxiety.
You vent what's on your mind and an LLM will evaluate your thoughts objectively (heavily leaning on CBT techniques), to help you maintain a more balanced perspective.
Technical stack: - Flutter (to release cross-platform) - OpenAI API - Local storage for privacy - Custom prompt engineering to maintain quality and consistency in therapeutic approach (this has been the biggest challenge, and accounting for edge cases where the user has gone through something stressful that needs processing (e.g. a death) rather than reframing)
We just launched on ProductHunt today if you like to support: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/reset-3
Would love any thoughts and feedback.
I like the fact that "All user input data is stored locally," and then you still: use OpenAI, use Firebase for analytics, collect text-based input, collect event data, use Google Analytics... This looks really cool - the UI in particular feels really approachable and polished. I like how you detect and call out "What you're doing wrong" to help build awareness of unhelpful thought patterns. Upvoted! I recently launched something pretty similar (www.pensiveapp.com) but we took a very different approach (and I think the space is huge). Interesting to see how differently you approached the problem. > CBT techniques kinky. where did you learn your cock&ball torture techniques?
