Talking points
Short phrases that describe Unstuck accurately:
- Calm by design. No streaks, no badges, no leaderboards, no shame loops.
- Non-clinical. Unstuck is a wellness and reflection app, not therapy, medical care, crisis support, or clinical monitoring.
- Local-first. Journal entries, check-ins, reminders, and routines stay on the device. No cloud sync. No account to create.
- No streaks. Reminders are designed to survive a bad day. Missing a day does not reset anything.
- No account. Unstuck does not collect a name, email address, or sign up.
- MD-built. Created by Shariq Refai, MD, MBA, FAPA, a board-certified psychiatrist and founder of shrinkMD. Unstuck is a separate company and a wellness app, not a clinical service of shrinkMD.
