CriticMirror

CriticMirror is a mobile AI app that helps users spot and defuse harsh self-talk in the moment—without pretending it disappears. You log (or voice-note) a self-critical thought, then the app labels the distortion (e.g., mind-reading, catastrophizing), asks one blunt clarifying question, and generates 2-3 alternative statements that are realistic—not cheesy affirmations. It also builds a personal “critic profile” over time (common triggers, recurring themes, time-of-day patterns) and offers short, evidence-based exercises (2–5 minutes) to interrupt rumination. A weekly review shows what situations reliably trigger self-attack and what reframes actually stuck. The goal is practical: reduce frequency and intensity of inner-critic episodes and help users respond with self-respect, not forced positivity.
