How the Thinking Lens App Works

Unload what bothers you to declutter and gain support

No filter, no judgment. Acknowledging and processing your raw thoughts and feelings is liberating––and can prevent them from snowballing into something complicated.

Gain clarity with powerful lenses tailored to your immediate needs

Temporary relief can be helpful, but your thoughts might resurface. Thinking Lens offers evidence-based, intentional frameworks––designed as lenses––to help you process and find lasting clarity. The process is interactive, guided, and simple.

Build lasting skills to stay grounded and ease overthinking at its core

Every use gives you a boost. Over time, you'll cultivate lasting skills to manage the psychological & cognitive drivers of overthinking––fear of uncertainty, the need for control, cognitive dissonance, thinking errors, an excessive sense of responsibility, and more. These are natural parts of being human; balance is key.

You're not alone. Overthinking is a prevalent phenomenon.
Around 50-70% of adults in their 20s and 30s experience frequent overthinking (that's potentially 1 billion of us!)


While overthinking is part of being human, it plays a fundamental role in
developing and sustaining mental health challenges at its most intense.

Why is typing, not tapping, through a lens encouraged?

The strategies behind each lens are simple and easy to grasp 👵👌. But the real power comes from applying them, not just knowing them. Thinking Lens helps you put them into action, step by step, right when you need them most. That's where the magic happens.

Yes, we do. However, Thinking Lens isn't just about AI.

All the lenses are crafted based on research and tested by mental health professionals. We use AI to contextualize and streamline your experience.

I love the idea of ‘lenses’—it’s such a beautiful way to start reframing thoughts and things that are bothering you, not letting them take over. And I LOVE the structured aspect of the app. It makes reframing so efficient. Really helpful!

I used to waste hours overthinking things, and I hated it! Thinking Lens is such a handy tool for me now to think about the stressful situations in constructive and helpful ways. I’ve noticed that my sleep quality has improved, and overall productivity has increased. I feel calmer, mentally more flexible, and in-control of my wellbeing.

I'm going through a stressful time in my life and I loved how Thinking Lens gave me a streamlined process for getting my thoughts out, elaborating on them, and, through the use of the lens, coming up with meaningful actions I can take to truly feel calmer about a situation and stop overthinking.
