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 — "I bombed that interview," "They must be angry at me," "I'm a terrible parent" — 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. Reframe uses Apple's Foundation Models framework, which runs the AI entirely on your device. No cloud. No account. No tracking. No data collected, even anonymously. THE 10 THINKING PATTERNS Based on Dr. David Burns' cognitive distortions model, Reframe shows you 10 clearly explained patterns with examples — All-or-Nothing, Always/Never, Blowing It Up, Jumping to Conclusions, Labeling, Should/Must, It Must Be Me, Mental Filter, Feelings as Facts, and Discounting the Positive. You pick the one that fits. Over time, you'll spot them in your own thinking without opening the app. ONE-TIME PURCHASE $14.99 once, lifetime access. No subscription. No in-app purchases. All future updates included. REQUIRES • iPhone 15 Pro or later (Apple Intelligence required) • iOS 26 or later NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE Reframe is a self-reflection tool, not a substitute for therapy or medical treatment.

Reframe will show you these resources if a thought you write signals something heavier than overthinking. ——— • One-time purchase, no subscription • Entirely on-device, no cloud, no account • Built with Apple Intelligence • Supports Dark Mode, Dynamic Type, VoiceOver • English at launch, more languages coming
One Breath

Calm down in one minute — on your iPhone or on your wrist. One Breath is the quickest way to slow down during the day: before a meeting, after a hard call, in a queue. Open it and tap Breathe, or start Calm Now from your watch face, Control Center, a widget or Siri. Follow the circle, or close your eyes and feel the rhythm. CALM NOW — ONE MINUTE, NOTHING TO CHOOSE Two deep sighs — a double breath in, one long breath out — then four slow breaths that are longer out than in. Free on iPhone and Apple Watch. NEW: APPLE WATCH • Taps you can feel: they quicken as you breathe in, spread out as you breathe out, and tick once a second while you hold • Keeps guiding with the screen off — lower your wrist and close your eyes • Start in one tap from a watch-face complication • Your own rhythms from iPhone, and wrist sessions in your iPhone history BOX BREATHING, 4-7-8 AND MORE Calm, Box and 4-7-8 are free, always. One Breath Complete adds Physiological Sigh, Coherent, Release, Triangle, Steady, Energize and Deep Box — and lets you build your own rhythm. MOMENTS Pick the moment, not the technique: Before a Meeting, After a Hard Call, Racing Thoughts, Midday Reset, Before Focus and Quick Lift. FEEL EVERY BREATH On iPhone, haptics swell as you breathe in, fade as you breathe out and tap through holds. Dim the screen and keep your eyes closed. START FROM ANYWHERE Control Center, the Lock Screen and the Action Button, Siri ("Calm now with One Breath"), Home and Lock Screen widgets, and a Live Activity in the Dynamic Island. SEE WHAT HELPS YOU Rate how you felt before and after, and One Breath shows which techniques leave you calmer — worked out on your iPhone. Save sessions to Apple Health as Mindful Minutes if you like. ONE BREATH COMPLETE — ONE PAYMENT, NO SUBSCRIPTION • Every technique and your own rhythms on Apple Watch • Moments • Seven more techniques and your own rhythms on iPhone • A sound guide that keeps going when the screen locks • Longer sessions, full history and "What helps you", more reminders Try any Complete technique or Moment once, free.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: One Breath at every 5 weeks against Reframe's every 3 months. One Breath also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
