Mind Refresh is a free self-help app for mood check-ins, 3-minute CBT & ACT exercises, guided journaling, and optional AI reflection — with your data stored on your device by default. • Daily check-in & 7-day personalized path after WHO-5 / GAD-7 / PHQ-9 • 12 guided journal templates + three-column thought record • Crisis safety protocol on PHQ-9 item 9 (988 & international resources) • Local weekly insights & PDF/Markdown export — no hard paywall on essentials • English-first; core path, assessments, and safety features stay free Pause racing thoughts with 3-minute practices, guided journals, and a 7-day path—then turn what feels tangled into one small next step. App Description When your mind won’t slow down, you don’t have to force yourself to figure everything out at once. Mind Refresh helps you start where you are: name what you’re feeling, ground yourself in the present, put the facts into words, and choose one small next step. With Mind Refresh, you can: • Daily Check-Ins Quickly record your mood and emotional state, then notice how they change over time. • 3-Minute Practices Use guided breathing, sensory grounding, muscle relaxation, and other short exercises to bring your attention back to the present. • 7-Day Self-Help Paths Complete one manageable step each day and build practical ways to respond to difficult moments. • Guided Journaling Use structured prompts to separate facts from worries, identify thinking patterns, and clarify your next action. • Talk to Hui When your thoughts feel crowded, use optional AI chat to express what’s on your mind and explore what may be bothering you. • CBT & ACT Coaches Work through structured thought-reframing and grounding sessions informed by CBT and ACT. Some Coach features require a Mind Refresh Plus subscription. • Wellbeing Self-Assessments Use WHO-5, GAD-7, and PHQ-9 self-assessment tools and review your history over time. Results are for informational purposes only and are not a medical diagnosis. • Privacy & Data Export Journal entries and core records are stored on your device by default. Export your records as Markdown or PDF. Online features, including AI chat, require network processing. Mind Refresh doesn’t ask you to feel better immediately. It helps you pause, come back to the present, and take the next step when you’re ready. Mind Refresh is a self-help tool, not a substitute for professional medical care, diagnosis, treatment, or emergency support.
