The Smart Coach is the all-in-one practice management app built for coaches, therapists, counselors, and independent practitioners. Run your entire practice from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac — no account required, no data collection, and everything syncs securely through your private iCloud. APPLE INTELLIGENCE, KEPT BETWEEN YOU AND APPLE A Client Brief before every session: recurring themes, open threads, what is still owed. A Practice Assistant that answers questions from your own records — who owes you money, what you have not invoiced. Both by Apple Intelligence — on your device or on Apple's Private Cloud Compute, never anyone else. Receipt scanning reads on your device. Needs an Apple Intelligence-capable device on iOS 26 or later. MANAGE YOUR CLIENTS Detailed client profiles with contact details, photos and notes. Reach clients via phone, SMS, WhatsApp or email. Track advance payments, attach documents, see each client's financial summary at a glance, and import contacts in one tap. TRACK SESSIONS WITH SMART KEYWORDS Log every session with custom types, pricing and notes. #hashtags track themes across sessions and highlight as you type. Export one session's notes or all of them as formatted PDFs. ORGANIZE WORKSHOPS Manage group workshops with participant lists, notes, expenses, appointments, and file attachments. Track earnings per workshop and keep everything organized in one place. PROFESSIONAL INVOICING & BILLING Polished invoices with auto-incrementing numbers, discounts and tax/VAT. Track partial payments with multiple receipts. Share Standard and Tax/VAT Invoices, Receipts and Advance Payment Receipts as branded PDFs with your practice logo. EXPENSE TRACKING Record expenses with categories, receipt images, and paid/unpaid status. Link expenses to specific clients or workshops for accurate profit tracking. APPOINTMENT SCHEDULING Appointments with time zones, repeats and calendar sync. See what's coming on the dashboard and send SMS or WhatsApp reminders in one tap. POWERFUL REPORTS & ANALYTICS Six report types: Revenue, Profit, Expenses, Activity, Clients and VAT Export. Interactive charts with period, client and custom date filters.
