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.

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.
