## Writing

- [Why panic relief shouldn't cost $70 a year](https://reground.pro/blog/why-panic-relief-shouldnt-cost-70-a-year.md): Panic is episodic. App retention is 3.9% by day 15. Yet the category charges $60–70 a year. The subscription model for panic tools is built on your absence, the evidence, with sources.
- [Most anxiety apps say they work. Almost none show their work.](https://reground.pro/blog/evidence-labels.md): 64% of top mental-health apps claim to work; almost none cite published research. Here is why we label every technique's evidence honestly.
- [An app can prove its privacy. Here's how to check ours.](https://reground.pro/blog/an-app-can-prove-its-privacy.md): 92% of depression apps studied sent data to a third party. App Store privacy labels are wrong most of the time. Here's the evidence, and a five-minute way to check any app yourself.
- [Why we guide breathing with vibration, not a screen](https://reground.pro/blog/haptic-breathing.md): Slow breathing at six breaths a minute is well-studied. Guiding it with vibration instead of a screen is a design bet, here's the evidence for both.
