ExposurePal
A gentle companion for getting outside.
ExposurePal is a small iOS app for people with agoraphobia, panic, or anxiety about leaving the house. It suggests a nearby place (a park, a library, a quiet café) and goes with you, at your pace.
Built for the days that feel big.
ExposurePal helps you take small trips out of the house and keep a record of them. Pick a nearby place, head out at your pace, come back home. Your photos, notes, and the spots you have visited stay on your phone, ready when you need a reminder of what you can do.
A look inside
What it does
- Picks somewhere close Pulls real nearby places from Apple Maps. A park, a library, a coffee shop, all within the range you set.
- Tracks the trip, not you Maps your distance from start so you can see how far you got. Location stays on your phone.
- A quiet coach in your pocket Six grounding tools (breathing, 5-4-3-2-1 senses, butterfly hug, muscle relaxation, cold dive reflex, affirmations) one tap away if a wave hits.
- A collection that's just yours Every place you reach becomes a card. Photos, journal notes, dates. Proof you did it, the next time the voice says you can't.
- Private by design You can use the app without an account. Optional sign-in backs up selected app data through Supabase. We do not sell your data or use advertising trackers. Read the privacy policy.
Built by someone who needed it
I built ExposurePal for myself. I wanted something I could open on a hard morning that would help me leave the house without making the day feel any heavier.
