About

Therapy Tracker

Features
Read full description

Many people sit down in therapy and go blank. You forget what happened during the week. You talk about what’s easiest—not what matters. You leave thinking, "I should have said that." Therapy Tracker helps you show up clearer. It gives you simple prompts at the right moments during your week, so you can: • capture what actually mattered • reflect on what stayed with you after a session • organise your thoughts before the next one No long journalling. No pressure to use it every day. Just a simple way to bring the right things into the room. Why people use it: • "I don’t sit there wondering where to start anymore" • "I actually say the thing I was avoiding" • "I remember what happened during the week" • "My sessions feel more focused" Private by design: Your reflections stay on your device. • No accounts • No cloud sync • No data sharing • No therapist access This is your space—nothing leaves your phone. What this isn’t: • Not therapy • Not a diagnostic tool • Not a symptom tracker It’s simply a tool to help you get more out of the time you already have. Walk into your next session knowing where to start.
