ReframeKit vs Pebble

When anxious thoughts spiral, ReframeKit gives you a calm space to slow down and reframe them. Built for CBT practice and cognitive restructuring — at home, on your device, without ads or accounts. Each Reframe walks you through the situation that set things off, the emotions it provoked, the automatic thoughts behind them, the cognitive distortions at play, and the reframed thoughts you put in their place. Whether you're working alongside a therapist or building self-awareness on your own, ReframeKit gives you a calm, focused space to slow down and think clearly. What it helps with - Anxiety and anxious overthinking - Low mood and depressive thought patterns - Stress and overwhelm - Self-criticism and harsh inner dialogue - Practice between therapy sessions Features - Guided Reframes — A step-by-step process that captures the situation, the emotions you felt (and how strongly), your automatic thoughts, the cognitive distortions at play, and the reframed thoughts that result. - Cognitive Distortion Library — Learn to recognize common distortions like catastrophizing, mind reading, and all-or-nothing thinking, with built-in descriptions for each. - Emotion Tracking with Intensity Ratings — Name what you feel and rate how strongly, so you can see shifts in mood over time. - Draft Autosave — Your in-progress Reframe is continuously saved automatically. Quit midway and pick up exactly where you left off. - Past Reframes — Revisit past Reframes to spot recurring patterns and notice your growth. - Full-Text Search — Quickly search across your Reframes — situations, automatic thoughts, challenges, and reframed thoughts alike. - Recently Deleted — Deleted Reframes are kept for 30 days, so accidental deletions are easy to restore. - Backup & Restore — Your data is yours. Back up your Reframes for safekeeping or restore them onto a new device. - Helpful Tips — Gentle in-app guidance helps you get the most out of each step. - Simple, Focused Interface — A clean, distraction-free design that keeps you grounded in the reflection process. A note from the developer ReframeKit is free — genuinely free, with no ads, no subscriptions, and no accounts. I built it because MoodKit, an app I relied on for years, is no longer available, and I wanted that kind of tool to exist again. Your Reframes stay on your device. ReframeKit is not a substitute for professional mental health care. If you're in crisis, please reach out to a qualified professional or local emergency services.

Pebble is a hand-drawn symptom diary that takes thirty seconds a day. No cloud, no accounts, no streaks. Just enough to walk into your next appointment prepared. Three sliders for energy, pain, and mood. Tap a few symptoms. Close the app. That's the whole daily log. Then once a month — or before your next doctor's visit — Pebble prints a one-page brief. A short, plain-language summary your doctor can actually read. Not a 12-page spreadsheet. Not a scrollable chart dump. One page, sixty seconds. — Made for foggy days — Pebble is built for chronic illness, ADHD, and AuDHD. For people with fibromyalgia, POTS, EDS, migraine, IBS, endometriosis, long COVID, PMDD, ME/CFS — and anyone whose health doesn't fit neatly into "feeling well" or "feeling sick" boxes. If your brain can't track ten things at once. If filling out another form is the last thing you have energy for. If you've ever forgotten half your symptoms by the time you got to your appointment — this is for you. — What you log — • Mood, energy, and pain on simple sliders • Where the pain is — a small body diagram (front + back) you can tap to mark the spots • Your own symptoms, from a customizable list (no 2,000-symptom menus) • Medications — taken or skipped, no guilt either way • Cycle, if you track one • Flare-ups, on the days they happen • Short voice notes, transcribed on your phone • Sleep, steps, and resting heart rate from Apple Health (optional) — The doctor brief — The hero feature. Pebble reads your last 7, 14, or 30 days and writes: "Energy dropped sharply on Tuesday and stayed below baseline through Thursday. Pain peaked at 8/10 on Wednesday morning, correlated with poor sleep the night before. Brain fog was reported 4 of the last 7 days." A paragraph your doctor reads in sixty seconds. Print it. Email it. Screenshot it to your patient portal. Walk in prepared. — Nothing leaves your phone — Pebble has no accounts. No cloud sync. No analytics. No third-party trackers. Your symptom data is encrypted on your phone and never leaves it. Not by Pebble, not by anyone. Even your daily logs stay local. The only network calls Pebble ever makes: weather lookup, opt-in, city-level only, never precise GPS; and receipt validation for Premium purchases. That's the entire list. — No streaks, no guilt — Pebble has no streak counter. No "you missed yesterday" notifications. No gamification. Vacation mode for flare weeks lets you skip without losing anything. Streaks were the wrong shape for chronic illness from day one. — Premium — $4.99 a month or $29.99 a year. Unlocks unlimited briefs, intraday mood capture (Moments), a private backup file you control, and your voice notes folded into the brief. The free tier is fully usable forever — log every day, get one brief a week. — Who built this — I made Pebble for my wife. She came home from doctor visits frustrated they didn't believe how bad it was, and the other apps were too much. Pebble is the artifact she wished she had: small, calm, defensible.
