About Psyched: Dread vs Reality
Nerves can feel like evidence that something is about to go wrong. Psyched helps you test that feeling against what actually happens. Before an exam, interview, presentation, tryout, or other high-pressure moment, log what you expect and rate your dread from 0–10. Run a short readiness protocol, then come back afterward to record reality. Over time, Psyched turns your own history into a clear dread-versus-reality chart. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Learn the app in a minute with Momo's hands-on tour • Log upcoming performance moments and your predicted dread • Use a focused 60–90 second readiness protocol • Compare each prediction with what actually happened • See your personal pattern across events • Find where your dread runs hottest, by kind of event, with two concrete next moves • See which body sensations show up most, and how those events actually went • Choose a companion personality for concise written encouragement • Try short, research-backed techniques by situation or by skill, each linked to its study • Find crisis and support lines you can call or text where you are PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Psyched works offline without an account. Your entries stay on your device unless you enable optional iCloud sync or sign in to an optional Psyched account for server sync. Companion generation never receives your event titles, fears, focus intentions, outcome notes, username, or account details. You can turn off AI-written companion lines in Settings at any time. IN MAINLAND CHINA The core logging, readiness protocol, charts, Next move card, and research work on your device. Companion encouragement uses bundled wording; live generated companion text and personalized readings are not offered on the China mainland App Store. If you downloaded Psyched from the China mainland App Store, optional Psyched accounts and server sync are hosted in mainland China. iCloud sync is a separate optional feature that depends on your Apple Account and iCloud availability. Psyched is a performance psychology tool, not a medical or mental health service. It does not diagnose or treat any condition and is not a substitute for professional care.

What’s new
Version 1.4 · Updated October 26, 2026
Research is now Toolkit. Pick what's coming up, like an exam, a talk, game day or work you've been putting off, or pick a skill to practise, and get a few short steps to try this week. Each one comes with a plain summary of the research behind it and a link to the original study. Insights can suggest where to start, chosen on your phone from your own pattern. Get support lists crisis and support lines you can call or text where you are, with the emergency number first, plus websites from reputable organisations on stress, ADHD, stuttering, alcohol and drugs, and finding someone to talk to. It's at the top of Toolkit, in Settings, and on the screen where you log an outcome. Tapping a line opens Phone, Messages, WhatsApp or the website; Psyched sends nothing. New in Settings: a switch for AI-written companion lines. Turn it off and your companion speaks in lines built into the app, and nothing is sent to an AI.
