A different approach
No talking. No reliving. Just two minutes.
Many stress reactions are fast and automatic. MindReset is designed to work with them at the same speed, through a short guided process that uses your eyes.
Nothing to explain
You don’t have to describe what’s bothering you, to anyone.
Private
No account, no name or email. Eye tracking stays on your phone.
How it works
What happens in a session.
A short, guided process on your phone.
Stress gets stuck
Intense moments can leave fast, protective patterns in the brain, called emotional memory images, that keep setting off the stress response long after the moment has passed.
The app catches the trigger
A short guided sequence brings that pattern up for a split second, and the app’s eye tracking picks up the eye movements that suggest it has been triggered.
The link is interrupted
A quick process is designed to interrupt that link, so the stress response can switch off and the body can settle. Each session targets another pattern.
Based on the Split-Second Unlearning model, described in peer-reviewed papers and built on 30 years of clinical practice. It draws on the long research history of eye-movement approaches such as EMDR.

Real reviews from the App Store and Google Play.
“This app is so easy to use, takes such a short amount of time that I can so easily fit it into my life where I have struggled to fit anything extra in for years.”
“From leaving the forces approx 20 years ago, I have struggled with many areas in my life… I have found that having used this app over a short period of time, has made a significant positive impact on my mental wellbeing.”
“The session was over before I realised it and to be honest I thought it was rubbish… However, the next morning I woke up having slept 8 hours straight!”
“Brilliant app, left me feeling calm after a very stressful week and must have been magic cause I couldn’t even think about what was stressing me out afterwards!”
“This is my first aid kit, any stress & I go to it. It definitely makes a difference!”
“First use can feel like a bit of a disappointment because you might not be aware of any effects. The analogy I would use is a little like putting the car windscreen wipers on. If it isn’t raining you don’t notice anything happening. If however you are in a storm then it can prove invaluable.”

Questions
What does the app actually do?
It takes you through a short audio-visual process, guided by eye tracking, that is designed to interrupt the automatic stress response linked to an emotional memory. Most sessions take about two minutes.
How often should I use it?
Each programme is designed for one session a day over 10 days. After that, Fast Reset is there whenever you need it.
Do I need to keep using it?
Think of it like a windscreen wiper: it clears the view, and you may want to use it again now and then. Fast Reset takes about 90 seconds.
Is this for real?
MindReset is built on the Split-Second Unlearning model, described in peer-reviewed papers, and 30 years of clinical practice. Early studies have been encouraging and clinical research is under way.
Is it safe to use?
Sessions are short, gentle and self-guided, and you can stop at any time. If you have a mental health condition or are receiving treatment, talk to your healthcare professional before using it.
Is MindReset a medical treatment?
No. MindReset is a wellbeing and educational tool. It is not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent any medical condition, and it does not have clinical or medical approval.
Can I stop seeing my therapist or doctor?
No. MindReset does not replace medical advice or care. Keep using the support you already have.
Does the app record me through the camera?
No. Eye tracking runs entirely on your phone. No image or video is recorded or sent to any server, not even temporarily.
How much does it cost?
MindReset is free to download, and the first two sessions of every programme are free.
Who is behind MindReset?
MindReset is developed by Mind Help Ltd. The method was created by Matt Hudson, and the app uses mobile eye-tracking technology from Umoove.
