What it is

An iOS app for self-guided exposure therapy, built around the framing that helped me the most in therapy: experiments, not sessions. SwiftUI + SwiftData on device; Next.js marketing site at anagnori.app. Currently in closed beta.

Why I made it

It started as just my therapist and me working through ERP in a Google Doc. When I noticed people in some group programs I was in had similar behavior patterns, I started thinking there had to be a way to generalize what was working. My brain kicked into solutioning mode — which I wasn't supposed to do, but it churned anyway — and it turned into this app. It uses an ERP and habit-forming framework to help people get incrementally more comfortable with things that are uncomfortable.
