End your evening writing notes. Bryl drafts SOAP, DAP, BIRP, intake, EMDR, and progress notes from your session recording — entirely on your iPhone. No cloud. No third-party servers. No BAA needed because there is no third party. WHY THERAPISTS PICK BRYL Most AI therapy scribes upload your client's audio to a cloud they own and ask you to trust the BAA. Bryl is built differently. Recording, transcription, and note drafting all run on your iPhone's Neural Engine. Turn on Airplane Mode and Bryl keeps working — verifiable from the Privacy Proof screen, which shows a live network monitor that always reads zero for client content. YOUR SESSION, START TO FINISH 1. Tap Start. Pause and resume freely. 2. Drop in-session markers — risk flag, verbatim, homework, theme — without breaking eye contact with your client. 3. After session, tap Transcribe. Speakers auto-labeled (Therapist / Client). Edit any line. 4. Tap Generate Note. Pick a template — SOAP, DAP, BIRP, intake, EMDR, progress — or your own. 5. Review, sign with your name and license, seal with a tamper-detecting hash. 6. Export to PDF, RTF, or copy formatted for SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, or TheraNest. SMART EDIT Don't like the assessment? Tap Smart Edit and tell the on-device model what to change — "shorter assessment", "use the client's own words", "CPT-aligned objective". Quick-pick chips for the most common revisions, or write your own. BUILT FOR YOUR PRACTICE - Caseload with treatment goals, mood sparklines, and between-visit check-ins - Sealing a note credits progress to matching treatment goals automatically - Risk markers and sealed-note risk lines surface on the home view - Audio auto-deletes the moment you sign and seal (opt-out for supervision) - Pre-session recap and next-session planning so you walk in prepared - Custom templates for your practice's documentation style PRIVACY BY ARCHITECTURE - Audio encrypted with AES-256-GCM the moment recording stops - iOS Data Protection keeps audio at rest unreadable when the phone is locked - PII automatically redacted before the on-device model sees the transcript, restored in the final note - Sealed notes carry a SHA-256 integrity hash — silent edits are detectable - Face ID lock with configurable auto-lock interval REQUIREMENTS - iPhone 13 or newer, iOS 17+ - About 3 GB free storage for the on-device speech models - About 2.5 to 5 GB for the on-device language model Privacy Policy: https://bryl.app/privacy Terms of Use: https://bryl.app/terms Bryl is a tool for licensed mental health professionals. It is not a medical device and does not provide diagnosis or treatment.
