Unloop for iPhone

See the loop. Feel your way out.

Unloop maps what keeps repeating into a loop you can see, gives it a character you can talk to, and offers small moves to try when it starts again.

Which one sounds like you?

Structured self-discovery that treats your patterns as a story you can rewrite rather than a flaw you need to fix.

See your loop

It’s not you. It’s a loop.

Answer a few questions about what keeps happening, and it comes back as a loop you can see. Tap any part to go inside it. Hold one to find a way out.

Answer a few questions and see what keeps it going.

The fox’s loop

A year of therapy helped me understand my patterns. Unloop is where I finally saw one coming and caught it.

Find a way out

Every move comes three ways.

Something to say, something to feel first, or something to notice. Pick the one that fits, then see what happens.

Something to say, something to feel first, or something to notice.

Three ways out at Thought: What if something’s wrong, in the fox’s loop.

Say
The Voice

Answer the thought once: “Maybe. And I’ll know when I know.”

What you might notice

That the thought can stay without you obeying it.

Thought · What if something’s wrong

Feel
The Welcome

Feel what you’re bracing for, here, before the moment comes.

What you might notice

What it does when you stay with it.

Thought · What if something’s wrong

Notice
The Lantern

Notice whether the “what if” gets louder or quieter when you don’t chase it.

What you might notice

That the thought can stay without you obeying it.

Thought · What if something’s wrong

Pick one to try. Later, the fox asks how it went.

Something coming up?

Feel it before you’re in it.

Tell your character what’s coming, then meet the feeling it brings while nothing’s riding on it. Name it, shape it with your hands, and take one card in with you.

Tell your character what’s coming, then meet the feeling it brings.

Tomorrow · 10:00 AM
  1. Name the feeling under the fear.Your pattern brings its own five feelings. Pick the one that fits, then bring it up from where it sits in you.
  2. Shape it with your hands.Stretch it to how big it gets. Pull it down if it’s heavy, rub it to warm it, shake it if it moves.
  3. Take one card in with you.Thank it, and it comes to rest by your character’s light. The card it leaves waits in Moves.

Afterward, your character asks how big it really got, next to what you expected.

In the app it goes further: step back from it, step inside it, let it say what it’s protecting you from, and stay with it for three breaths.

Your first session is free.

Pick up your thread

Bring the moment. It already knows your loop.

Type what happened, say it, or add a screenshot. Thread connects it to what you’ve already explored, so you never start from the beginning.

Type what happened, say it, or add a screenshot.

It asked if my perfectionism was actually fear of being seen. Still thinking about that.

The foxThat’s me, keeping watch. Every reread is me hunting for the mistake so we can fix it before anyone else sees it.

she’s probably just busy

Probably. But probably has never been enough for me. Until we’re sure, I keep us up and checking, so nothing catches us off guard.

Keep what you discover

Your move, a glance away.

Put the move you’re trying on your Home Screen or Lock Screen, so it’s there when the moment comes. Reminders come from your character, and ease off if you go quiet.

A widget keeps it on your Home Screen or Lock Screen.


The window’s sky keeps the hour. If you step away, the check-ins slow down, then stop after two weeks.

The characters

Five characters. One is yours.

Each pattern takes the form of a character you can recognize, question and speak with. Step inside any of their worlds.
