About Relief

One-liner: A 42-day audio program that retrains chronic pain.

What it is: A structured, audio-led program covering pain neuroscience education, sensation tracking, graded exposure, safety behaviour withdrawal, and evidence collection. 42 sessions across 6 chapters with a beginning, middle, and end.

Who it's for: People with medically-cleared chronic pain who have tried conventional approaches and want a structured, self-guided retraining program.

Platform: iPhone. Launching 2026.

Price: $14.99 one-time purchase. No subscription, no auto-renewal, no coaching upsell, no premium tier. The first session is free. Full refund available through the App Store. Competitors charge $60 to $150 per year.

Philosophy: Outcome-independent. No pain ratings, no symptom journals, no streaks, no badges, no gamification. The program builds safety and collects evidence that the pain signal is not a threat. Designed to be finished and deleted.

Research basis: Built on peer-reviewed pain neuroscience research from the University of Colorado, Stanford, the University of South Australia, and others. See the research section below for full citations.

Privacy: No accounts. No email required. No analytics. No tracking. Works offline. All data stays on device. Relief does not know who its users are.

Boilerplate: Relief is a 42-day audio program that retrains chronic pain using techniques from peer-reviewed pain neuroscience research: pain reprocessing therapy, pain neuroscience education, and graded exposure. The program costs $14.99 once with no subscription, contains 76 audio recordings across 42 daily sessions, and is designed to be completed and deleted. Relief collects no user data, requires no account, and works entirely offline. It launches on iPhone in 2026 from Escape Velocity Studio Ltd.


Story Angles

Focusing on your pain creates more pain

Pain journals, symptom logs, daily ratings: the entire pain app category asks users to pay attention to their pain. Modern pain neuroscience says this trains the brain to keep the alarm on. Relief never asks for a pain rating. Attention goes toward safety, not threat.

Designed to be finished. Designed to be deleted.

42 sessions. A beginning, a middle, and an end. No content library, no engagement loops, no streaks. When you finish, you delete the app. That is the intended outcome. A subscription pain app has no incentive for you to get better. Relief does.

A subscription pain app profits from your pain

The leading pain retraining apps charge $70 to $130 a year and auto-renew. Some offer coaching upsells at $200 to $500. Every month a user stays in pain is another month of revenue. Relief is $14.99 once. We do not make more money when you stay in pain longer.

Clinical-grade technique, no clinic required

Pain reprocessing therapy, pain neuroscience education, and graded exposure are established clinical techniques with published trial data. Relief puts them into 5 to 10 minute audio sessions you can do alone, at home, for $14.99. No decisions, no browsing, press play.
