Supplemental Capture insights. Stay engaged between sessions. Walk into therapy prepared. Supplemental is a therapy companion that helps you capture insights, prepare for sessions, and build small daily practices—so progress doesn’t stop when therapy ends. Most people leave therapy feeling clear and motivated. By the next day, life gets busy. Important thoughts are forgotten, breakthroughs fade, and the things you meant to discuss never make it into your next session. Supplemental helps you hold onto what matters. Capture Before You Forget Record thoughts, emotions, breakthroughs, patterns, and questions the moment they happen using voice or text. Everything is automatically organized, so your reflections are ready whenever you need them. Walk Into Therapy Prepared Build a Session Agenda naturally throughout the week instead of trying to remember everything at the last minute. Before your appointment, generate a clear Session Brief that organizes your themes, challenges, wins, and priorities into one easy-to-read summary. Spend less time remembering. Spend more time making progress. Turn Insight Into Action After therapy, transform your biggest takeaways into personalized daily micro-practices inspired by evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, and mindfulness. Small actions. Real momentum. Stay Connected Between Sessions Growth doesn’t happen one hour a week. Use reminders, guided reflections, and simple daily practices to stay connected to the work you’re doing long after your therapy session ends. Supplemental Pro Unlock advanced therapy tools including: • AI-generated Session Briefs • Personalized Micro Practices • Insight Mode • Smart reminders Designed to Support Therapy — Not Replace It Supplemental is designed to complement your work with a licensed mental health professional. It helps you remember what matters, prepare for meaningful conversations, and apply therapeutic insights between sessions.

The space between therapy appointments is where the real work happens. Between Sessions is a private companion built by a licensed clinical mental health counselor to help people make the most of that time — track how you're really feeling, prepare for your next appointment, and hold onto the insights your therapist helps you discover. CHECK IN WITH YOURSELF A guided check-in that takes 90 seconds. Map your emotions, note body sensations, track your energy levels, and capture what's going on in your life. The app learns from what you share and tailors itself to how you experience the world. QUICK NOTES Jot things down as they happen throughout the week. When it's time for session prep, your notes are waiting — tap to pull them straight into your prep. PREPARE FOR YOUR NEXT SESSION Stop losing insights between sessions. Note what's still on your mind from last time, what's important for your therapist to know, and what you actually need from today's appointment. Walk in prepared instead of scrambling to remember. REFLECT AFTER YOUR SESSION Capture what stood out while it's still fresh. Log your homework, note what you didn't get to, and check in with how your body feels after the session. TRACK YOUR HOMEWORK Add homework items and get daily reminders until you complete them. Mark items done when you finish — no more forgetting what you committed to. UNDERSTAND YOUR PATTERNS See what's been hard, what's been good, and what to bring to your next session. BUILT FOR NEURODIVERGENT MINDS Designed with ADHD and autistic users in mind. Emotion labeling support, sensory and social battery tracking, and an experience that adapts to how you actually work. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything stays on your device. No accounts, no servers, no data collection. Your reflections belong to you. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
