MindSync
Read full descriptionHide full description
Your therapist asks how last week went. You remember a feeling and maybe a couple words. Some people call it therapy amnesia. MindSync keeps the rest. Talk or type for a minute after a session and it becomes a card: topics, questions, to-dos, realizations. The day before your next session, a Prep Card sums up what came up since last time, so you walk in knowing where to start. "I love how the AI feature organizes my notes and thoughts to help me figure out what comes up most often... so I know what to work on with my therapist." Grace O., therapy client HOW IT WORKS After a session: a one-minute recap, by voice or text. Or record the session, if your therapist agrees. MindSync tells the two voices apart where it can and writes the summary. Either way, the card shows your progress since the last session. Between sessions: leave a voice note when something comes up and MindSync transcribes it. Talk it through with Orca, the app's AI assistant, in Reflect. Themes that keep coming back get their own thread. The app suggests, you decide. Before the next session: a Prep Card appears on its own, with what to raise and what you promised to try. HOMEWORK, AGENDA AND EVERYTHING YOU SAID Workspace holds the agenda for your next session, your goals and your to-dos, with homework from your therapist and action points from Orca in one list. Timeline keeps every entry in order. Share any card with your therapist as an image. "My patients come in prepared. We spend the session working, not recapping." Kate (therapist) SEE WHAT'S CHANGING Change is hard to see from the inside. Your Character page shows it: six strengths (Courage, Insight, Honesty, Resilience, Kindness and Commitment) grow each time they show up in what you share. If a line doesn't sound like you, tap "Not quite" and it stops counting. - Focus Areas: rate sleep, worry or anything else from 1 to 10 and read the trend in plain words. - Habits you want to keep, and habits you want to drop. - A check-in on how it's going with your therapist. - Weekly and monthly summaries that show the pattern you'd miss day to day. "I tend to second-guess myself, so seeing my progress on a chart is reassuring. I no longer say maybe." Tomek (CBT) MEET ORCA Orca is MindSync's AI assistant for the days between sessions. It's software. It doesn't replace your therapist; it helps you remember and prepare. A psychologist on the MindSync team reviews how Orca is designed to respond. In Settings you can see everything Orca remembers and delete any of it. WHY KEEP YOUR OWN RECORD A week after a session, people in one study recalled only a fifth to a third of what their therapist had covered. Across 58 studies, tracking progress in therapy meant slightly better results and fewer dropouts. MindSync gives you a record to bring in, not medical advice. PRIVACY Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest (AES-256). MindSync deletes the audio from voice notes and recordings as soon as the transcript exists. There are no ads, and MindSync never sells your data. You can delete any entry, or your whole account, whenever you want. FREE TO START Four days of Premium, free. No card needed, and it ends without charging you. After that, the Free plan gives you a few cards, voice notes and Reflect messages each month, plus a couple of session recordings. Premium lifts those caps and adds voice talks with Orca. Cancel anytime in your App Store settings. Try it before your next session and walk in knowing where to start. MindSync isn't a crisis service. If you're in danger, call your local emergency number. In the US, you can call or text 988 any time, or 911 in Europe.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No cloud. No tracking. Everything stays on your device, behind Face ID. SHARE IF YOU WANT Export a single session or the last month as a PDF. Your call, off by default.
