It turns psychology into algorithms, triggers and interfaces. Not “starting Monday” motivation, but verifiable mechanisms: Bandura's self-efficacy, Festinger's dissonance, the confidence loop.
Architecture from the project document: sensors → decision engine → interventions.
Day, time, mood, fatigue, done or not. In the MVP — what the device already knows; on the roadmap — pulse, sleep and calendar via Health API.
Picks which mechanism to apply right now: simplify promises on a bad day, offer a technique, or ask the three diagnostic questions.
Micro-promises, the trust score, honest excuses, the streak lottery, breathing techniques — all without dark patterns and with a “why” explanation.
Twelve features from the feature base are already in the MVP; the rest are on the way.
1–3 promises a day, a plain “yes/no” in the evening. The system calibrates difficulty: >80% — makes them harder, <50% — easier.
A banking metaphor: promise kept — plus a coin, not kept — minus. Abstract self-esteem becomes measurable.
Instead of “why?” — a choice from a list. The excuse pattern shows what to fix: fear or goal calibration.
On a bad day — one simplest promise. A strong person is the one who holds the minimum even at the bottom.
“Today I will NOT…” — restraint earns a coin too. Broke it — a question without reproaches: what to change tomorrow?
Instead of a fixed reward — unpredictable bonuses (Skinner): a freeze, a title, a mechanism card.
Confidence is not a ladder but a ring. Enter through the cheapest link: one 2-minute action that cannot be failed.
A bad mood doesn't ask you to “man up” — it asks three questions: what drains me, what am I missing, what do I endure out of habit.
A 20-second evening tag for your tasks: duty or choice. If “want” = 0 — the app offers a permitted pleasure.
Counts repetitions, hides results. 10/30/60 times — a “promotion”: identity assembles before success arrives.
Physical, emotional, mental, social, anxious, meaning — each with its own recovery menu.
4-7-8 breathing, 5-4-3-2-1 grounding, the physiological sigh, the “subjective minute” test — with tracking and timers.
The mechanism base is the core of the system. Every interface references a specific mechanism.
“I run my reality” is born when the word matches the deed — not from affirmations.
The brain can't stand the “said it — didn't do it” gap. Honestly naming the excuse removes the rationalization.
Unpredictable rewards give the strongest dopamine response — the habit doesn't fade.
Open tasks keep the cortex tense and “eat energy”. Sweeping up small stuff gives strength back.
You can't order a mood around — but you can read it as a pointer to an unmet need.
Mood is data, not a defect. The app turns a symptom into a to-do list.
The journal, mood and trust score are stored only on the device. No servers in the MVP.
No guilt and no punishments. The system calibrates difficulty instead of shaming you for a setback.
Every intervention explains which mechanism it relies on and why it's needed.
Any automation can be switched off. We help you reach your goals — we don't impose ours.
“Self Development” is not a medical product and not psychotherapy. It is a collection of self-help techniques generalizing the practices of therapy rooms and the findings of scientific psychology. The app doesn't diagnose, doesn't treat and doesn't replace a consultation with a specialist: with prolonged low mood, anxiety or apathy, see a psychologist or a doctor. The first launch starts with accepting this consent — you can reread it in the app's settings.
