Clear what holds you back.
Build what drives you forward.
EMDR Apps is a self-guided mobile app based on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) principles. It uses bilateral stimulation (gentle left-right visual and audio stimulation) to help people work with stressful memories, emotional residue, pressure, and performance blocks. Inside it are thirteen programs, each adapted to a specific arena: sport, business, relationships, performance, professional yacht crew, frontline work, trading, health care, kitchens, poker, legal processes, sleep and fear.
For the moments in relationships that stay with you.
For bedtime activation, broken nights and nightmares.
For fears that feel overwhelming or keep holding you back.
For athletes, competition and performance pressure.
For leaders and high-stakes professional moments.
For performing artists, speakers, performance pressure and confidence.
For professional yacht crew, between charters and off watch.
For decompression after exposure to disturbing material.
Clarity and discipline under market pressure.
Wellbeing for healthcare and helping professionals.
For competition cooks and high-pressure service chefs.
Tilt control and clean decisions at the table.
Steadiness through the legal process.
One download, one subscription, thirteen arenas. Switch whenever your pressure changes.
An everyday self-optimizing tool in your pocket.
Every program shares the same structure: gentle bilateral stimulation, measurable change, and safety you can't bypass. Legal swaps Clear for Prepare, a rehearsal of what is ahead.
5–10 min. Establish a safe place and resource with slow visual and audio bilateral stimulation. A first step, a stabiliser, or a calm close.
15–25 min. The full four-stage protocol (stabilise, identify, process, integrate) to neutralise a memory that holds you back. Tracks distress (the subjective level of disturbance, SUD) before and after.
10–15 min. Resource Development & Installation: a future-focused session that installs a quality you want, measured by how true it feels (the validity of cognition, VOC).
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a well-established psychotherapy method for distressing memories. EMDR Apps draws from its core mechanisms for self-guided, non-diagnostic use: no therapy chair, no treatment claim, just a structured way to work with what gets in your way, and to build what moves you forward. It's an everyday self-optimizing tool you carry in your pocket.
Safety is not optional. Onboarding screens out clinical conditions, every Clear opens with a set-up step before any memory work, a one-tap grounding exit is always present, and a closing grounding is offered at the end.
Every program follows the same authored EMDR-based structure (the same session flow, screening and safety architecture) with language, colour and context adapted to the arena it serves. Legal swaps Clear for Prepare, a rehearsal of what is ahead. Choosing one re-dresses the whole app around it.
EMDR Apps is built so that your session content and screening answers never leave your device. Research participation is always a deliberate, revocable choice, never a default.
Session content and screening answers stay on your phone. The app sends only anonymous usage counts, research you opt into, and a random reference if you redeem an access code.
Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4) / Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) / PHQ-9 screening is computed entirely on-device.
Anonymous, pseudonymous outcomes shared with the University of Helsinki only if you choose.
Built around the Article 89 research exemption and data-minimisation by default.
