Frequently Asked Questions

Is Sophia's sensory overload reset tool completely private?

Yes. Sophia is a local-first application. When you use the sensory overload reset tool, all your data is stored exclusively in your browser's IndexedDB using PGlite. Your entries are never sent to a cloud server — only anonymous, content-free usage signals are collected to see whether the tool works.

Do I need to create an account to use the sensory overload reset feature?

No account is required. You can start using the sensory overload reset practice immediately. Because data never leaves your device, there is no need for user authentication or logins.

Can I use the sensory overload reset tool offline?

Yes. Once you load the Sophia app, it can function completely offline as a Progressive Web App (PWA). You can practice sensory overload reset even in airplane mode or without an internet connection.

Clinical psychology research confirms that externalizing distressing thoughts through structured writing reduces their emotional intensity and interrupts maladaptive cognitive loops.
