## What is Bryl?

End your evening writing notes. Bryl drafts SOAP, DAP, BIRP, intake, EMDR, and progress notes from your session recording — entirely on your iPhone. No cloud. No third-party servers. No BAA needed because there is no third party.

WHY THERAPISTS PICK BRYL

Most AI therapy scribes upload your client's audio to a cloud they own and ask you to trust the BAA. Bryl is built differently. Recording, transcription, and note drafting all run on your iPhone's Neural Engine. Turn on Airplane Mode and Bryl keeps working — verifiable from the Privacy Proof screen, which shows a live network monitor that always reads zero for client content.

YOUR SESSION, START TO FINISH

1. Tap Start. Pause and resume freely.
2. Drop in-session markers — risk flag, verbatim, homework, theme — without breaking eye contact with your client.
3. After session, tap Transcribe. Speakers auto-labeled (Therapist / Client). Edit any line.
4. Tap Generate Note. Pick a template — SOAP, DAP, BIRP, intake, EMDR, progress — or your own.
5. Review, sign with your name and license, seal with a tamper-detecting hash.
6. Export to PDF, RTF, or copy formatted for SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, or TheraNest.

SMART EDIT

Don't like the assessment? Tap Smart Edit and tell the on-device model what to change — "shorter assessment", "use the client's own words", "CPT-aligned objective". Quick-pick chips for the most common revisions, or write your own.

BUILT FOR YOUR PRACTICE

- Caseload with treatment goals, mood sparklines, and between-visit check-ins
- Sealing a note credits progress to matching treatment goals automatically
- Risk markers and sealed-note risk lines surface on the home view
- Audio auto-deletes the moment you sign and seal (opt-out for supervision)
- Pre-session recap and next-session planning so you walk in prepared
- Custom templates for your practice's documentation style

PRIVACY BY ARCHITECTURE

- Audio encrypted with AES-256-GCM the moment recording stops
- iOS Data Protection keeps audio at rest unreadable when the phone is locked
- PII automatically redacted before the on-device model sees the transcript, restored in the final note
- Sealed notes carry a SHA-256 integrity hash — silent edits are detectable
- Face ID lock with configurable auto-lock interval

REQUIREMENTS

- iPhone 13 or newer, iOS 17+
- About 3 GB free storage for the on-device speech models
- About 2.5 to 5 GB for the on-device language model

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.5.0 — 2026-06-19

Custom note templates. Build your own note structure in Settings → Templates — name it, set the section headings in the order you want them, and optionally override the system prompt. Bryl drafts against your template on-device, exactly like a built-in format, and the template's identity is folded into the sealed integrity hash so a custom-template note verifies like any other. Pro tier.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-05-11

Bryl 1.1 closes the gap between the pitch and what's in your hands.

- Smart Edit. Tap Smart Edit on a generated note to give the on-device model a specific instruction — "shorter assessment", "use the client's own words", "CPT-aligned objective" — or write your own. Quick-pick chips for the most common revisions.
- Sessions link to clients. Start a session from a client profile and it's attached. Add or reassign on any recorded session from a Link Client chip in the session header.
- Treatment-goal credit. Sealing a note now credits progress to any treatment goals it addresses. First-seal only — no double-credit on revisions.
- Audio auto-deletes on seal. By default, audio is overwritten the moment you sign and seal the note. Privacy & Security has an opt-out toggle for supervision workflows.
- Risk surfacing. In-session risk markers and sealed-note risk lines roll up on the home view so urgent caseload signals stay visible.
- Transcript redaction toggle. Choose whether the saved transcript shows raw text or PII-redacted text. Note generation always uses the redacted version.
- Home stats: today's caption shows hours, signed, and sessions for the active filter.

Pricing tier renamed from Practice to Pro. Existing subscriptions are unaffected. Refreshed wordmark.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-05-08

Bryl is now the offline AI therapy scribe — same on-device privacy model, sharper positioning. Updated subtitle and keywords. The same six clinical templates, the same architectural promise: audio never leaves your iPhone.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-05-08

No release notes.
