Lugn: Mental Load Tracker

About this app

Your brain is quietly tracking every unfinished book, half-watched series, and ongoing project. Each one is an open loop — taking up mental energy whether you think about it or not.

Lugn makes your mental load visible, so you can start reducing it.

📋 GUIDED BRAIN DUMP
When you first open Lugn, you'll walk through every area of your life — books, series, games, courses, projects, household, and trips. Add everything unfinished. See your total for the first time.

🎯 SEE YOUR NUMBER
Your active loop count is always front and center, color-coded by zone:
- Green (1–5): Focused
- Yellow (6–9): Fragmented
- Red (10+): Overloaded

For every open loop, you have two choices: finish it, or let it go. Both close the loop. Both lighten your load.

✨ PREMIUM FEATURES (ONE-TIME PURCHASE)
- Insights — your loop history, weekly trends, and patterns over 30 days
- Focus Loop — pin one loop as your priority, visible on your home screen widget
- Loop Limit — set a max number of active loops. The app blocks adding more until you close one.

No ads. No subscription. The free version is a complete app. Premium adds depth.

🧠 WHY IT WORKS
Lugn is grounded in cognitive science. The Zeigarnik Effect shows that unfinished tasks create mental tension. Externalizing them into a trusted system — and intentionally closing or releasing them — reduces that tension.

This is not a to-do list or habit tracker. It's a cognitive load tracker — a tool for seeing what you're carrying and choosing what to keep.

Built for anyone carrying too many open loops — especially if you're easily overwhelmed or tired of starting things you never finish.

Lugn is Swedish for calm. That's the destination.
