AfterSession vs Practice Pad

AfterSession helps therapists, counselors, and coaches capture session notes quickly and securely — right from their iPhone or iPad. Your notes never leave your device. No cloud. No accounts. No tracking. Just a fast, private tool built for your practice. CAPTURE NOTES YOUR WAY Choose from built-in templates including Simple, CBT-Style, Coaching, SOAP, DAP, BIRP, Intake, Supervision, and EMDR — designed for real clinical workflows. Dictate notes hands-free with on-device voice recognition (Pro). Use Quick Notes to jot something down between sessions and assign it to a client later. Track session date, duration with a built-in timer, and client emotional state. Mark notes as Draft or Final when you're ready. SHARE AND DISCOVER TEMPLATES Create your own custom templates and share them with colleagues via AirDrop, Messages, or email. Receive a shared template and import it with one tap. Build a library of templates tailored to your specialty. ORGANIZE YOUR PRACTICE Each client gets their own space with color-coded avatars, tags, and pinning. View session history at a glance with date and status indicators. Search across all your notes instantly to find what you need.
