Mente
Read full descriptionHide full description
Mente is made for psychologists and psychotherapists in private practice, with individual clients, couples and families. Your schedule, session notes, treatment plans, client documents and payments stay on your iPhone or iPad. There's no account to create, and client records never pass through our servers. Your day Today's sessions appear on a timeline, with the breaks between them and the time you still have free. Today's priorities lists what's waiting: tasks due, unpaid sessions and notes you've started. Book one-off or recurring sessions, and Mente suggests times within your working hours. Couples and families A client can be one person, a couple or a family, with one shared record. Each person has their own role and contact details, and every minor has an adult guardian. You choose who took part in each session, and a note can be about everyone or about one person. The record holds sessions, notes with their earlier versions, plans and objectives, tasks and life events. Search covers every client. Documents for the first session Mente includes a privacy notice, a professional services agreement and an intake and history form, plus an agreement for couples and families and a consent form for each minor. It fills them in on your device from the details you've saved and puts them into one PDF, which you read before sharing. Mente records when a document was shared, but keeps no completed PDFs, answers or signatures. Messages and payments Write an appointment message, check it and send it from your own email or messaging app. Mente never sends anything by itself. Set prices for evaluation, consultation and emergency sessions. A paid session keeps the price it was paid at, so new rates don't change past months. Your data Sensitive data is encrypted on the device. Mente opens only with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode, and locks again 30 seconds after you leave it. You can export a password-protected .mente backup, CSV tables or a PDF report for one client at any time. Free and Pro Everything above is free, but your records stay only on your phone until you back them up yourself. With Pro, backup runs on its own and there is less admin to do. On the monthly plan, you can try Mente Pro free for 30 days. Mente Pro adds: • Encrypted iCloud backup with a Recovery Key, which also keeps your iPhone and iPad in sync • A PDF payment statement with a client's unpaid sessions and your bank account • A preparation card before each session and a list of sessions still missing a note • SOAP, DAP, BIRP, CBT, ACT, DBT, EMDR and other note formats, and your own templates • Your own message templates, send reminders and a log of prepared messages • Editable documents with your logo and services, and earlier versions to go back to • Two-way sync with a calendar on your device, such as iCloud, Google or Exchange • The complete timeline of each client If Pro ends, your records stay on the device and the free features keep working. iCloud backup and calendar sync pause until you renew. Mente is a tool for administration and documentation. It doesn't diagnose, recommend treatment or provide emergency services. Mente uses Contacts only when you import a client, Calendar only for calendar sync and iCloud only for iCloud backup.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Mente at every 2 days against Therapad's weekly. Therapad's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
