How it works
Tools for every part of the work
Each part of OCDly is built around evidence-based OCD treatment, so support is there before, during, and after an exposure.
Anchor tools
Find support in the moment
When anxiety spikes, knowing what to do can be difficult. The Anchor tools help you refocus without reinforcing compulsions: Sensory Grounding, Guided Breathing, Sensory Reset (5-4-3-2-1), and Think in Categories.
ERP Hub
Practice, don't just read
A guided ERP workspace designed to help you delay compulsions, reduce compulsions, resist compulsions, stay with anxiety, practice uncertainty, plan exposures, and reflect after every exercise. Instead of wondering what to do next, every session has a clear beginning, middle, and end.
Situational Exposure
Return to what you've been avoiding
Build exposure plans for places, objects, activities, people, and everyday situations you've been avoiding. Progress gradually while tracking your confidence over time.
Cognitive Labeling
Separate OCD from reality
Identify the thinking pattern driving anxiety by recognizing one of ten common cognitive distortions, helping separate OCD from reality.
CBT Worksheet
Prepare, Practice, Debrief
A guided three-step reflection, Prepare, Practice, Debrief, helping transform difficult moments into learning opportunities.
Exposure Vault
Support ERP without reassurance loops
Securely store exposure images directly on your device using encrypted storage with a built-in three-view limit, to support ERP exercises while reducing repeated reassurance checking.
Progress
Understand your progress
Reflection and tracking that stay gentle, private, and useful over the long term.

OCDly is designed to complement professional care and is not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment by a qualified mental health professional.
A Note for You
Receive thoughtful daily messages that encourage consistency, persistence, and self-compassion throughout your recovery journey.
Why OCDly
What makes OCDly different
Many mental health apps provide relaxation exercises or journals. OCDly is built specifically around evidence-based OCD treatment, combining ERP, CBT, real-time coping tools, structured exposures, and progress tracking into a single experience. Rather than offering isolated exercises, it guides people through the work of recovery step by step.
01
Guided action, not just information
Every feature encourages users to actively practice skills instead of only learning about OCD.
02
Support throughout the recovery journey
From in-the-moment anxiety relief to structured ERP and long-term progress tracking, the app supports users before, during, and after exposures.
03
Designed to build consistency
Recovery depends on repeated practice. OCDly helps users return to ERP regularly, monitor progress, and stay engaged over time.
