About

Kora

Read full description

Kora is your private psychiatric journal, built for anyone in active mental health treatment. Whether you're managing anxiety, depression, ADHD, panic attacks, OCD, bipolar disorder, insomnia, or any condition treated with psychiatric medication, Kora gives you one place to track everything that matters: your mood, your medications, your episodes, and your progress. Then it turns that data into a clear PDF summary you can bring to your next appointment. No cloud. No account. No ads. Your data never leaves your iPhone. WHY KORA EXISTS If you see a psychiatrist or therapist every 2-8 weeks, you know the problem: you walk in and can't quite remember how the last few weeks went. Was the medication working? Were there hard days? When exactly did that episode happen? Kora fixes that. Every session, whether it lasts two minutes or twenty, becomes part of a clear record that speaks for itself at your next appointment. WHAT YOU CAN TRACK - Mood, daily ratings with optional notes. Spot your real patterns, not just the days you remember. - Medications, log what you take, when you take it, and any side effects you notice. - Episodes, document specific events (a panic attack, a depressive episode, a sleepless stretch) with context and intensity. - Therapy notes, capture what came up in sessions, what you want to bring up next time. - Sleep & energy, the two signals your psychiatrist always asks about. THE PDF SUMMARY Kora generates a clean, structured PDF summary of any time period, last two weeks, last month, since your diagnosis. You choose. The summary is designed to be read by a psychiatrist or therapist in under two minutes. It shows mood trends, medication consistency, notable episodes, and your own notes. You can share it by AirDrop, email, or just show it on your phone. BUILT FOR PRIVACY Kora is local-first. Everything you enter stays on your device, always. There is no Kora account, no sync to the cloud, no server that stores your data. Nobody sees what you write. Ever. We collect zero data. We have no access to your entries. You can export your data anytime and delete everything in one tap. WHO KORA IS FOR Kora is for anyone taking psychiatric medication or attending regular mental health appointments. You don't need a severe diagnosis. You don't need a label. If you have a prescription from a psychiatrist and an appointment every few weeks, Kora was built for you. KORA PRO Kora is free to start. Kora Pro unlocks unlimited history, PDF exports, advanced mood charts, medication reminders, and episode tagging. Try Kora Pro free for 30 days. No charge until the trial ends. Cancel anytime. Kora does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. It is a personal journaling tool. Always follow the guidance of your healthcare provider.
