About this app

Track your cognitive biases and think more clearly every day.

Bias Counter is a simple tool to help you notice and understand your own thinking patterns. It’s built on evidence-based psychology — specifically, the idea that recognising cognitive biases is the first step toward better, more mindful decision-making.

Use Bias Counter to log the mental shortcuts and distortions that influence your thoughts. Over time, you’ll start to see patterns — which situations trigger them, and how often they appear — helping you respond more thoughtfully instead of automatically.

How it works
• Add the biases you want to track — or use the built-in list of common ones.
• Each time you notice a bias (in yourself or others), tap +1.
• If you mis-tap, use −1 or Reset to correct.
• Export your results to CSV anytime for reflection or journaling.

Included biases (examples)
• Catastrophizing
• Overgeneralization
• Black-and-White Thinking
• Mind Reading
• Fortune Telling
• Should Statements
• Emotional Reasoning
• Personalization
• Labeling
• Mental Filter

Why it helps
Awareness leads to change. By quantifying your thinking biases, you train your mind to recognise patterns faster — improving clarity, balance, and emotional regulation. Bias Counter turns self-observation into measurable progress.
