## What is Reframe?

Stop overthinking.

Apple Intelligence on your iPhone helps you notice a distorted thought, name the pattern yourself, and see three balanced reframes. Private. No subscription.

Reframe is a focused cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) thought-record app. Whenever a thought loops in your head — "I bombed that interview," "They must be angry at me," "I'm a terrible parent" — Reframe walks you through 90 seconds:

1. Describe what happened (one line)
2. Write the thought
3. Tag the feeling and its intensity
4. Pick the thinking pattern behind it, from 10 well-studied options
5. See three alternative perspectives, generated by Apple Intelligence
6. Save, and compare how you feel after

THE PRIVACY PROMISE

Your thoughts never leave your iPhone. Reframe uses Apple's Foundation Models framework, which runs the AI entirely on your device. No cloud. No account. No tracking. No data collected, even anonymously.

THE 10 THINKING PATTERNS

Based on Dr. David Burns' cognitive distortions model, Reframe shows you 10 clearly explained patterns with examples — All-or-Nothing, Always/Never, Blowing It Up, Jumping to Conclusions, Labeling, Should/Must, It Must Be Me, Mental Filter, Feelings as Facts, and Discounting the Positive. You pick the one that fits. Over time, you'll spot them in your own thinking without opening the app.

ONE-TIME PURCHASE

$14.99 once, lifetime access. No subscription. No in-app purchases. All future updates included.

REQUIRES

• iPhone 15 Pro or later (Apple Intelligence required)
• iOS 26 or later

NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE

Reframe is a self-reflection tool, not a substitute for therapy or medical treatment. If you are in crisis, please contact a qualified professional. In the U.S., call or text 988. The Samaritans (UK) can be reached at 116 123. Reframe will show you these resources if a thought you write signals something heavier than overthinking.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-08-31

This update is all about reliability: if Apple Intelligence stumbles for a moment, Reframe now retries automatically before showing its built-in perspectives.

IMPROVED
• Write a thought in a language Reframe doesn't understand yet, and it tells you right away — a clear note while you type, instead of confusing results.
• Settings now shows which languages Reframe currently understands.

FIXED
• A rare issue where the on-device journal could fail to open. Reframe now starts safely, keeps your original entries file untouched, and explains how to recover it.

Your thoughts still never leave your iPhone — every reframe is generated on device.

### 1.0 — 2026-05-17

No release notes.
