You: I’ve asked before, I know. I just need to be sure.
Maybe: I won’t answer it. Answering is the hook, and it never holds.
You: It’s every night now. I get into bed and it starts.
Maybe: Then bed is the practice. Lie down with it tonight and let it be loud.
Worth keeping in mind?
It starts at bedtime, most nights.
An example, not a transcript.
You don’t need a diagnosis to be here, and you don’t have to decide whether it’s “bad enough”. It works the same either way.

Each one works the way it does in the app. Nothing you press here leaves this page.
01 · THE CHAT
Open it the moment a thought grabs you, day or night: Ride It Out for the middle of a wave, Learn & Practice for the calmer hours. Every spike you get through without answering it makes the next one easier to let pass.
Type it, or hold the mic and say it. The recording stays on your phone, and only the words are sent.
It’s loud right now. Short replies, nothing picked apart.
Or start with
02 · LESSONS
Each lesson takes a few minutes, written around you in plain words, so you know what your mind is doing and what to do about it. A short practice chat turns each one into something you can use today.
One at a time
Lesson 1 · 2 min
Start here
Why thoughts stick
Lesson 2 · 3 min
Watching, not wrestling
Lesson 3 · 5 min
Riding out the urge
Did it land?
What does the relief after an answer teach the alarm underneath?
03 · THE LADDER
Small steps towards what you have been steering around, starting with one within reach. The coach suggests the next rung, and you decide what goes on it.
Smallest rung first
Ahead
The rung you’re on
Let someone else lock up
Where you’ve been
04 · THE EXPOSURE
For the outcome you dread or the image that turns up uninvited: ask, and the coach writes a short script for the rung you are on, in your own words, and reads it to you.
The voice is made on our own servers, never by a speech company, and it comes back sealed so only you can open it. The script is sealed with your key like everything else, and once the audio is on your phone nothing is sent while it plays.
Rung 4 of your ladder
Built from the rung you are on, in your words
Leave for the whole weekend without a last check
A real read by the voice the app ships: the opening that says what this is. Nothing feared is in it, and nothing in it is about you.
It keeps going. This figure stops before the part written for the person it belongs to.
05 · THE PULL
One tap when the urge to check, ask or search turns up, wherever you are. Name it, let it be, and get back to what you were doing.
Written while things are steady, so when it comes back you already know your next move.
Weekly or fortnightly, on the day you pick.
No timer here
Something is pulling you to check, ask, or put it right. You don’t have to do it now.
In your own words, if you want to
Skip it if typing is too much right now.
06 · EVERY DAY, YOUR WAY
Mark that you moved, wound down or ate regular meals, one tap each. A walk to the letterbox counts the same as a gym session.
No score here
07 · TAKE IT WITH YOU
A page for the people who get asked, so they know what to say, and a summary for a first appointment. Both are made on your device, so no version of either one reaches us.
Settings
Two things you can hand to someone else. Both are put together on this device and go straight to your share sheet, so no version of either one reaches us.
A card for the person you ask
One page, in your words, for whoever gets asked.
A summary for an appointment
What you said at the start, your ladders, the moments you logged, your plan.
08 · THE CEILINGS
Set how much you use it: conversations a day and a week, how long each runs and the gap between them. They hold on every device, and in a crisis you can lift them for a day.
You set these
A change applies as soon as you save it. Giving yourself more room asks you once whether you are sure.
“I can't believe how good this app is. It's amazing how quickly it learns about me and tailors the response to my intrusive thoughts and compulsions”
“I had no idea how to deal with my own thoughts. I felt totally out of control and the lessons gave me a structured approach to practice. The chat was so nice to fallback on for specific questions and when I was spiraling out of control”
Two of the people using it, in their own words. Nothing here is edited, and nobody was paid for it.
One step at a time, at your pace. Tap a stop to see what happens there.
Check
Two minutes of questions, and you know where to start.
Why it works, explained from scratch. The practice comes from NICE CG31, the guidance the NHS treats this from, and the evidence page is honest about what is and isn’t proven.

The part nobody else can say
This loop runs on the thing you have never said out loud, and you can’t say that to something you think is being read.
Everything you write is sealed on your device with AES-256 before it is sent, and the key never leaves that device. Every product in this space says “encrypted”; who holds the key is what separates them.
One exception: writing a reply means the model reads that message, and writing an exposure means it reads the rung it is for. Nobody keeps either, and nothing that identifies you goes with them.
Nobody here is watching over you. If you were ever in danger, we could not see it.
Googling and asking ChatGPT buy a few minutes of quiet, then the question comes back louder. Maybe helps you build something that holds: fewer spikes, and more of your day back. If ChatGPT keeps helping right up until it doesn’t, here’s why that happens.
| What is being compared | Maybe | A general AI chat | A therapist you can see |
|---|---|---|---|
| Will it answer the question? | No, and it says why each time | Yes, every time you ask. That is the trap | No. Leaving it unanswered is the work |
| Who can read what you write | Nobody here. Sealed on your device, and we never hold the key | The provider, under whatever its data settings say | Your therapist, which is the point of going |
| When you can reach it | Any hour, from any browser you can open | Any hour | Your appointment, and often a waitlist before the first one |
| The language it works in | English, Spanish and French all the way down: the lessons, the exposures read aloud, and crisis lines for your own country | It replies in your language. There is no practice around it built for one | You need one who speaks yours, which shortens an already short list |
| What it cannot do | Notice you are in trouble. Nobody here is watching, because nobody here can read it | Stop feeding the loop | Be there the moment it hits |
If you can get to a specialist who treats this, go. Maybe is for the hours they can’t be in, and for everyone still on a waitlist or not ready to tell a person yet.
Seven days free. If you pay and it wasn’t for you, email us inside your first 30 days and we send it back without asking why. People spend this money when they are not doing well, so it should be the easiest money in the world to get back.
“Intrusive thoughts and my OCD have plagued me for as long as I can remember. It wasn’t until I understood the most effective way to deal with them that I stopped feeling like I was fighting my own brain all the time. Along the way I reached for the AI chats that are always there, and they made it worse. They answered every question I asked, and the answer held for about ten minutes. I built Maybe as the secure alternative: one I could trust with my most intimate thoughts, that knows my context, and that will not hand me the answer. It has helped me build the skill of leaving a thought unanswered, and to de-escalate when I’m in a spin.”
