Unspiral

I'm an overthinker. I surveyed 84 others. Then I built this.

What it does

Every wellness app assumes you're already calm. Calm wants 10 minutes. Headspace wants 30 days. Nobody builds for the 2am spiral. Unspiral does. Built after surveying 84 people — 67% overthink daily, 87% say it never helps. Their #1 coping method is scrolling reels. So I built the alternative. Pick Spiral mode or Decide mode. Get to a grounding technique in 3 taps. Log your mood before and after. No subscription. No account. Installs on iPhone and Android.

    MoodTrack, a simple iPhone app to track your moods and thoughts2012 · ▲43

    I've often wondered whether there are any patterns or cycles to my moods so I built a simple iPhone app that occasionally pings me to ask how I'm feeling on a scale of 1 - 10. I also note down what I'm thinking or doing at that moment and automatically grab my location. I use the data to show some basic statistics on how I've been feeling on average over the past three days, past week and since I started tracking. There's also a graph of my moods over time. I'd love to get feedback on whether people would find something like this useful. I'm curious about what other things people would want…

    I made an app to challenge anxious thoughts with AI2025 · resetapp.co.uk · ▲9

    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…

    Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
