Basal vs Kinectin

Basal runs your thought through ten real therapeutic frameworks - CBT, Stoicism, IFS, ACT, DBT, Psychodynamic, Existential, Narrative, Somatic, and Self-Compassion — and shows you how each one interprets what you said. No other journaling app does this. When you want a clearer signal for what's changing over time, layer in 37 validated self-report assessments and longitudinal trends. The same instruments clinicians use, scored automatically, on your terms. HOW IT WORKS Write or speak a thought. Tag the feeling underneath using the Yale RULER emotion model. Read ten perspectives that each see something different in what you shared. A cognitive therapist finds the distortion. A Stoic finds what's in your control. An IFS therapist asks which part of you is speaking. They don't agree — and that's what makes it useful. VALIDATED ASSESSMENTS PHQ-9, GAD-7, DASS-21, PCL-5, WHO-5, K6, CES-D, SWLS, the DSM-5 Severity Measures, and 28 more. Self-paced cadences. Severity bands. Subscale charts. Only freely usable self-report scales — no clinician-rated content because those aren't designed for self-administration. TRENDS, HISTORY, AND CALENDAR Watch your scores and feelings move across 7-day, 30-day, or all-time windows. Drill into any specific day with the calendar view. The History tab keeps every thought and assessment in chronological order — swipe to delete what you don't want to keep. WHAT THIS IS NOT Basal is not a chatbot trying to be your therapist. It doesn't diagnose, treat, or give advice. It's a structured tool for examining your own thinking and tracking what changes — a lab, not a couch. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE No account required. Thoughts, feelings, assessments, and saved perspectives stay on your device. Text sent for AI analysis is encrypted in transit, never stored on our servers, and never used to train models. ENCRYPTED BACKUP & RESTORE When you switch phones, take an encrypted backup file (AES-256-GCM with a passphrase only you know) and restore on the new device. No accounts, no servers — just a file you control. CAPTURE FROM ANYWHERE Voice input with on-device speech recognition on iPhone. Dictation from Apple Watch. One tap from the home screen widget. Free tier includes daily credits and 7-day history. Basal Pro removes all limits for $6.99/month or $59.99/year.
