Maybe

Maybe is an AI-powered app designed to help people with OCD and intrusive thoughts break the cycle of compulsive checking, googling, and reassurance-seeking. Rather than providing answers to anxious thoughts, it teaches exposure and response prevention—a clinically-proven technique where users learn to sit with uncertainty and let anxious feelings naturally decline.

The app includes five structured lessons explaining why thoughts stick and how to manage them, a personalized ladder of increasingly difficult exposures to feared situations, AI-generated exposure scripts read aloud in a calming voice, and a chat coach available at any hour in two modes: Ride It Out for acute spikes and Learn & Practice for calmer periods. Users set usage limits in advance to prevent the app itself becoming a compulsion, and everything they write is encrypted on their device before being sent—the company cannot read user messages.

Maybe is not therapy or a crisis service, but a structured practice tool designed for the hours around professional care. It emphasizes privacy, offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, and uses clinical guidance from NICE and the NHS. The platform operates on the principle that sitting with doubt rather than seeking reassurance is what actually reduces anxiety over time.
