Stop overthinking. Apple Intelligence on your iPhone helps you notice a distorted thought, name the pattern yourself, and see three balanced reframes. Private. No subscription. Reframe is a focused cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) thought-record app. Whenever a thought loops in your head β€” "I bombed that interview," "They must be angry at me," "I'm a terrible parent" β€” Reframe walks you through 90 seconds: 1. Describe what happened (one line) 2. Write the thought 3. Tag the feeling and its intensity 4. Pick the thinking pattern behind it, from 10 well-studied options 5. See three alternative perspectives, generated by Apple Intelligence 6. Save, and compare how you feel after THE PRIVACY PROMISE Your thoughts never leave your iPhone.
