About Paws
Paws is a quiet place to put anxious thoughts down and look at them from another side.
Write down up to five thoughts that are on your mind. Then pick one and take it through a short exercise, one question at a time. A calm, hand-drawn cat asks the questions; you write the answers.
FOUR EXERCISES
• Reconstruction — say the thought the other way round, so the other possibility gets said out loud too.
• What is now — come back to what is actually happening, rather than what might.
• So what? — follow the fear step by step, to where it stops.
• Desired scenario — put down how you would like it to go, not only how it might not.
Along the way the cat may ask whether any of it is up to you, and help you name one or two things you could do.
YOUR RECORDS
Everything you write stays in your records. Export them or delete them at any time.
SAFETY FIRST
Paws is not therapy and not a medical service. If what you write shows signs of risk, the exercise stops and the app shows local crisis lines. Crisis help is always one tap away in More.
AI, ONLY IF YOU AGREE
The cat's questions can be written by an AI model. The app asks before anything is sent. Without it, the cat uses its own questions and nothing you write goes to an AI.
Free to try. An optional subscription unlocks every exercise and removes ads.
