MindTrace: CBT Thought Diary & Mood Tracker Therapy works best when you remember what actually happened during the week. But by the time your session starts, many of the thoughts, situations, and mood patterns you wanted to discuss have already faded. MindTrace is a CBT thought diary and mood tracker that helps you capture thoughts as they happen, then turns them into simple summaries you can review before your next therapy session. Instead of trying to remember everything, you arrive at therapy with real examples and insights ready to discuss. MindTrace makes it easy to journal your thoughts in the moment. Log a thought or mood in seconds, or use voice input when typing feels like too much. Whether something stressful happens during the day or an anxious thought keeps returning, you can quickly record it and move on. You don't need to write long journal entries, just capture the thought before it disappears. Inspired by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), MindTrace helps you reflect on patterns in your thinking and mood over time. As you journal daily, you'll begin to notice recurring themes, anxiety triggers, and cognitive distortions that show up in your thinking. Becoming aware of these patterns supports self-reflection and can make therapy conversations more meaningful and focused. Before your next session, MindTrace creates simple therapy notes from your recent thoughts, so you can quickly review what's been happening since you last spoke with your therapist. Instead of scrolling through individual entries, you can see key thoughts, moods, and themes worth discussing. This helps you walk into therapy feeling more prepared and confident about what you want to talk about. MindTrace is designed to support therapy, not replace it. It acts as a simple companion between sessions: a daily journal and mood tracker that helps you capture thoughts during the week, reflect on patterns, and prepare for meaningful discussions with your therapist. The app is designed to be calm, simple, and easy to use, with: - Quick thought and mood capture - Voice logging for fast entries - CBT-inspired reflection and self-improvement tools - Automatic therapy notes to help you prepare for sessions - A private, secure space for daily journaling and mental health wellness MindTrace is ideal for people who are currently in therapy and want help remembering important thoughts, moods, and patterns between sessions. MindTrace is not a replacement for therapy or professional mental health care. It is designed as a tool to support reflection and help users prepare for therapy sessions.

Dose Days is a quiet companion for your microdosing practice. Log your doses, intentions, moods, and reflections in your own words, and watch the patterns emerge across your whole cycle. Most trackers only see the dose. Dose Days understands the full rhythm: dose days, integration days, and the return to baseline. That is where the real picture lives. WHAT YOU CAN DO: - Log in seconds. Capture each dose with an intention, a mood, and a note, in your own words. The app learns your language over time. - See your whole journey. A calendar shows your rhythm and your moods together, so you can read a full cycle at a glance. - Track your stack. Record every component with its own amount, from a template built in or one you save yourself. - Understand what works. Dose Days reflects your patterns back to you: how you feel on dose days, integration days, and at baseline, and what actually makes a difference for you. - Build around your rhythm. Follow a structured protocol or design your own. - Breathe with intention. A calm, guided breathing space, built in. - Your data, safe and yours. Back up everything to a file, or turn on automatic backup to your own private iCloud, so nothing is lost if you change or reset your phone. PRIVATE BY DESIGN All your data stays on your device. No account, no tracking, no servers of ours. If you turn on backup, it goes only to your own private iCloud, never to us. Dose Days is a tool for reflection and self awareness. It does not provide medical advice.
