Free tools, no account

Small things that are useful on their own. No sign-up wall, no email box before the answer, and nothing you type is stored, because there is nowhere here to store it.

None of these assess you and none of them name a condition. They describe a thought, or where a load is landing, in terms you can check against your own week. That is a deliberate limit rather than a missing feature: the questions worth asking about whether something has a name are questions for a clinician, and a quiz that pretends otherwise is doing harm for traffic.

Thought check

Write the thought you are stuck on. See the patterns in it, and the question that loosens each one.

About a minute

Burnout check

Twelve questions across the three parts burnout is made of, and which one is loudest for you.

Two minutes

Overthinking check

Overthinking is two things that need opposite moves. Ten questions to tell which one you are in.

Under two minutes

And when a tool is not enough

A tool answers the same way every time, to everybody. Most of what helps is the opposite of that: somebody who remembers what you said last week and notices that this is the third time it has come up. Aura does that, free, in as many languages as you want to use.
