Therassist helps you build a consistent self-reflection habit with quick check-ins, on-demand Rewind recaps, and focused Todos. Use it to notice how you feel, keep track of what matters, and bring clearer notes into therapy sessions or personal planning. What you can do in Therassist: • Check in by voice or text: Log how you are doing in seconds. Speak freely with voice, type a short note, and add a mood before saving. Swipe the floating week strip to browse past days, tap any day to view or add its check-ins, and use the toolbar to jump to a specific month or back to today. • Review Rewinds: Generate recap summaries for the range that fits your schedule, from 1 day up to 30 days. Each recap surfaces recurring worries, recurring positive moments, turning points, unresolved open loops, and open questions you could bring to a therapist. Saved Rewinds sit behind the same floating week strip so you can browse what you've saved by day. • Use English or Simplified Chinese: Choose System, English, or Simplified Chinese in Settings. The interface, notifications, Shortcuts, voice transcription, and new generated summaries follow your selected app language. • Generate summaries on your device: On supported devices, Therassist uses Apple Intelligence on-device. On devices without Apple Intelligence, you can download an optional on-device summarizer (~1 GB, Wi-Fi recommended) and generate recaps fully offline. Manage the download from Settings, and switch between Apple Intelligence and the on-device model anytime. • Use optional Cloud Summary: You can optionally enable cloud recap generation with your own API key. It is off by default and can be disabled anytime. Not available on the China mainland App Store. • Manage Todos: Create Todos quickly, set date and time, and add repeat schedules when needed. Track active and completed tasks with simple progress visibility. • Share recap summaries: Export recap summaries by email when you want to bring your reflections into therapy sessions or personal planning. • Start faster with Siri and Shortcuts: Use Siri and Shortcuts for text and voice check-ins with optional mood selection. • Sync with iCloud if you choose: Keep your check-ins, Rewinds, and Todos in sync across your Apple devices when iCloud Sync is enabled. Privacy-first by design: • No account required • Local-first data model • iCloud sync optional and user-controlled • Optional cloud recap flow is user-controlled • API keys stay in the iOS Keychain on your device Therassist is a companion for reflection and habit-building. It is not a crisis service and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you are in danger or need urgent support, call local emergency services immediately.
