Stop
Give the thought somewhere to go.

When a thought spirals, catastrophises or simply refuses to leave, Focis gives it somewhere to go. A structured perspective, shaped around you, available the moment you need it.

Developed in collaboration with OCD and anxiety specialists
Created with you at the heart of every decision
Security and trust to keep your mind at peace

"You are not your brain. By learning to step back and observe your thoughts rather than react to them automatically, you begin to take control over how much influence they have on your behaviour and emotional state."

Dr Jeffrey M. Schwartz
Psychiatrist and Author of Brain Lock
What it does

Core functions,
designed to support you.

01

A new perspective on the thought, immediately.

Say what's on your mind, in full, in a safe space. Focis reframes the thought in ways that help you best, learning from your interactions to deliver when it matters most.

02

Sometimes you need to see how absurd it sounds.

Unlock functions to see the absurdity in your thought with humour, be shown just how overblown it actually is. Some thoughts need to be laughed at.

03

Keep what helped. It will help again.

When a response lands, save it. Intrusive thoughts arrive at anytime, your phrases are ready for when it does.

Real examples

What a Focis response
actually sounds like.

Response phrase. saved by user

"This thought feels real, but that's not the same as truth. Your mind is running a worst-case simulation and presenting it as a forecast; those are two very different things."

Response phrase. saved by user

"You are not afraid of what happened. You are afraid of what your mind says it means about you. Those two things are not the same. One is a fact. The other is a story. And stories can change."

Adapts to you

A response built around
how your mind actually works.

Focis doesn't give everyone the same response. It builds a personal profile from your onboarding and how you interact with it. Learning across our four dimensions to understand what actually helps you, adjusting every response to assist you the most.

Validation

How much space your feelings need before the thought gets reframed. Some people need to feel heard first. Others want to get straight to it. Focis learns which you are.

Challenge

How directly the pattern in your thinking gets named. Some people need it called out clearly. Others respond to a gentler approach. This calibrates quietly over time.

Warmth

The emotional register of every response, whether Focis feels close and empathetic or calm and measured. Not a preference set once but something that learns from when it lands with you.

Structure

Whether you receive flowing prose or clear distinct steps. Some minds find structure grounding. Others find it clinical. This shapes the format of everything you receive.
