Stop asking “did anyone see that?” No more replaying a four-second moment at 1am. Dimmer gives you one real situation a day, your predicted number, and the real one beside it — evidence from your own life instead of an opinion about you.
Free early access. No card. Takes about twenty seconds.
The one who can’t walk up a staircase while someone’s watching.
The one who fakes a phone call just to get down the street.
The one who skips lunch rather than walk past everyone to get it.
The one who needed fifteen minutes to work up to asking for a charger.
The one still turning over a moment from three days ago, knowing full well the other person forgot it before they reached their car.
And then the part nobody talks about. You finally tell someone. Your mum says “it’ll pass, it’s not a big deal.”
She isn’t being cruel. She just doesn’t believe it’s real fear.
So you stop bringing it up, and you carry it alone.
You don’t need to be told the spotlight isn’t there. You need to watch it go out.
From twenty real ones, taken from things people actually said — not a generic list.
How many people will stop and look at you?
A countdown, then a blank screen. Put the phone away.
Did anyone stop? Can you name one person who looked? Did anyone say a word?
Then the dots move from what you predicted to what happened, and two numbers sit side by side.
Nobody stopped. Nobody looked. Nobody said a word.
You could do this on your own, once. Most people have. Then they forget it, and their memory quietly rewrites what happened.
Here, every experiment becomes a piece of evidence, and evidence stacks up against a specific claim your brain keeps making — that people notice everything you do, that they’ll remember it tomorrow.
At five pieces, the file opens and the numbers speak:
That is the part you can’t do in your head.
Some things don’t happen in the moment. They happen at 2am, three days later, about something the other person forgot the same afternoon.
Say it out loud. Twenty seconds, messy, unedited. It gets sealed — you can’t open it, you can’t edit it, you can’t soften it.
Forty-eight hours later it opens, in your own voice, and asks one thing: did it happen?
Most of the time you’ll have already forgotten it yourself.
You’ve tried explaining it. They said it wasn’t a big deal. Maybe they were kind about it. It still meant you stopped bringing it up.
So don’t explain it again.
Send them one file. Before they see a single number, they’re asked one question:
How many people do you think looked at him?
They answer. Then they see what you expected, and what actually happened.
No lecture. No guilt. Just the distance between their guess and yours — and they work out the rest themselves.
It measures, it shows you, and it goes quiet.
Nothing to keep up with, nothing to lose.
No simulations, no visualisation exercises, no imagined scenarios.
The app stops you. It will never ask you for more.
The spotlight effect — a documented finding that people dramatically overestimate how much others notice them. And behavioural experiments — testing a prediction by doing it, rather than arguing with it in your head.
Dimmer is a logging and measurement tool. It isn’t therapy or treatment, and it isn’t a substitute for a professional. If your anxiety is severe, please speak to someone qualified.
One number, from your own life, is harder to argue with.
Free early access. Be first when it opens.
Dimmer is still being built. It isn’t finished, and we’d rather tell you that now than pretend otherwise. Join and you’ll be in the small first group that gets it — and we’ll email you when there’s something real to open, not before.
Enter a valid email address first.
Check your inbox now — you’ll get one email asking you to confirm. Click it, or the list above never actually gets you anything.
Once that’s done: you’re one of the first people on this list, which matters more than it sounds. The twenty situations in the app came from things people actually said, and the first group shapes what gets built next.
Nothing else to do after that. We won’t email you weekly, we won’t send tips, and we won’t ask for anything. One email, when it opens.
One thing, if you want: reply to that first email with the moment you’re still replaying. It might become one of the twenty.
