Helps you become more confident and comfortable in social situations. We do that by helping you find relevant challenges to confront social situations, and step by step increase your confidence.
A few weeks back, Rikke & Fabian came by my office to show me this thing they where working on: Steps. An app that, by completing small challenges, helps people overcome social anxiety. It's been absolutely heartwarming to see these two amazing people bring this little tool into the world. It is everything I love about tech; genuinely useful, approachable, humorous and good natured. Give them all the likes and shares you can on their launch day and together we can take the first step to help people overcome social anxiety ❤️

So many of my friends and colleagues struggle with this. In fact, who doesn't? I'm going to give it a try just to give myself some new challenges!
The challenges seem really great. I've completed a few and I think I'm hooked now. 😬 Will you be adding more or does the app have an ending once you complete all of them?
Hi @tonybrix, that is true and a good question! We want Steps to be a companion, something personal that can help you. There is a lot of things we want to do, like make sure you get content tailored to you, smart notification, location based challenge packs etc. So for future purpose we decided to build an app.
Nice concept! Almost like a personal coach. How do you come up with the steps? Yourself or you have some experts in the field giving you advice? and how do you track if the methodologies satisfy your users? That could be interesting to have in the future where users can share their experience on each step they tried and perhaps rate them.
@cemedericarak Thanks Cem! We came up with everything ourself - but we really want to get an expert involved that can help us make sure we crate the right content for our users.
That is an excellent idea and you're not the only one requesting that sort of feature, so we'll start looking into it within the next few months.
Thanks for the hunt @flarup! And hello everybody! We’re more than excited to be launching on PH today 🚀
Let’s introduce you to Steps.
Steps is an app helping you overcome social anxiety using exposure therapy.
Unfortunately social anxiety is a highly underrated mental health issue, too seldomly addressed in society leading to a lack of awareness. But also for the ones who are aware of their mental health issues, can be hard to get treatment.
Doing things you are afraid of to overcome fear, is a known therapy method called exposure therapy. And it’s proven to be the most efficient way to overcome social anxiety.
The app offers you a variety of challenges in curated sets, such creating friendships and handling rejection.
Steps is built with the vision to make mental health care accessible and help people overcome social anxiety.

Can’t wait to hear your thoughts and feedback,
we’ll be here to answer questions all day! 👋

@fabianehlert hey Fabian, awesome app and love the vision. Curious to see how you plan to promote the app to those who are suffering from severe social anxiety. Do you plan to have the app "prescribed" by mental health providers? Having previously worked with vets suffering from PTSD, it can be a huge challenge to take that first step to want to work on overcoming something as paralyzing as social anxiety.
@hienlam1 Hi, we know it's not easy to get through all the regulations in order to be able to actually prescribe the app. It's also not our main focus right now to make this happen but we still like to work closely with experts from the field to lower the entry hurdle and make it easier to get started.
