Withold
A companion for OCD spikes, built from lived experience
Withold is a companion for OCD and anxiety spikes, built by someone who has been through it. It won't give you reassurance. It won't tell you everything is okay. Instead it helps you understand what OCD is doing to your brain right now and guides you toward the only thing that works — sitting with uncertainty without doing the compulsion. Free: 1 conversation/day. Pro: unlimited conversations for €7/month. Built from lived experience, not textbooks.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Peter, the person behind Withold.
I built this because I needed it and it didn't exist. For years I lived with severe OCD and anxiety. I know what it feels like when a spike hits and the urge to do a compulsion feels impossible to resist. I know the desperate search for an answer that will make it stop.
What I needed wasn't another meditation app or mood tracker. I needed something that could meet me in the chaos, help me understand what was happening, and point me toward the right action, without lying to me by making it feel better.
Withold won't give you reassurance. That's intentional. Every design decision was made by someone who has been through this disorder, not by a team of engineers guessing what sufferers need.
If you have OCD or anxiety, or you know someone who does, I'd love for you to try it and tell me honestly what you think. Good or bad.
Happy to answer any questions about the product or the experience of building it.
