Each reset is brief and designed to end with a choice you can make.
Use the quick-choice demos without entering personal details, or describe your own situation.
Your pace. Your choice.
No shame
A setback does not erase progress. Leave any exercise at any time.
No forced positivity
We don't pretend everything is fine or promise that an urge will disappear.
Privacy by default
No account. Descriptions aren't saved in our research database. Optional AI sends your words to an API only with permission.
Pattern Break is an experimental general self-help tool, not medical care, therapy, crisis response, or treatment for substance use, eating disorders, or compulsive gambling. If you may be in immediate danger, call local emergency services. In the U.S., call or text 988 for immediate emotional crisis support. If alcohol or drug withdrawal may be involved, seek qualified medical help rather than relying on an exercise here.
Was this worth trying?
We're testing whether these quick exercises are useful enough to become an app. Please answer based on a tool you actually tried.
Only the answer options are saved; no written description, name, email, or thought history is included. Hosting providers may process technical logs.
More personal. Still your choice.
We're exploring a Premium version with user-controlled patterns, custom exercises, optional reminders, and private progress insights.
Privacy and research information
This is an early research demo for adults aged 18+. We don't create user accounts, store your issue descriptions in the research database, or use advertising trackers. If you explicitly enable optional AI for a free-text issue, that text is sent for processing to the configured AI provider, and is not saved in our research database. Avoid sharing names, health details, or private information. The AI feature is off unless enabled by the project operator and you opt in for that request.
Anonymous feedback and Premium-interest choices are stored only when submitted. These do not establish unique visitor counts, repeat usage, or purchases.
