CBT Quest vs Thought Record

CBT Quest is a private, voice-first journal for cognitive behavioral therapy practice. When you're overwhelmed, opening a blank journal feels impossible. Just speak — CBT Quest transcribes your words and structures them into all 7 CBT thought record fields. Your phone listens. Apple doesn't. VOICE-FIRST JOURNALING Tap, speak, done. No typing on a small keyboard when your head is full. Whether you're catching a cognitive distortion in the moment, marking a CBT win, or just trying to name what you feel — speak freely for 5 seconds or 5 minutes, whatever you need. YOUR WORDS, ORGANIZED Your recording is transcribed and sorted into a complete thought record — situation, automatic thought, emotions, evidence for and against, balanced thought, and outcome. Fully editable before you save. Your audio is wiped from our servers immediately. What stays lives only on your device. FOLLOW A PROVEN FRAMEWORK Seven thought record fields — the same framework therapists use worldwide. Over time, watch your thinking change. STAY PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Encrypted database, locked behind biometrics. Nothing therapeutic ever touches our servers. Everything stays on your device. Always. SHARE WITH YOUR THERAPIST Export any selection of entries as a clean PDF, formatted for a therapy session. Show your therapist exactly what you've been working on. --- CBT Quest is designed to complement the therapy you're already doing — not replace it.

Thought Record is a quiet place to untangle a stressful moment, the way you would on a paper CBT worksheet — but built for your phone. WRITE IT OUT Describe the situation, name how it felt, then free-write everything going through your head. No prompts interrupting you, no character limits. HIGHLIGHT THE THOUGHTS Sweep your finger over the sentences that sting — like running a highlighter across the page. NAME THE THINKING ERRORS Label each highlighted thought with common thinking errors (cognitive distortions): all-or-nothing thinking, catastrophizing, mind reading, fortune telling, and more. FIND A MORE BALANCED THOUGHT Re-read what you wrote with the labels in view, then write the calmer, fairer version. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE • No account, no sign-in, no server — the app never makes a network request • Everything you write stays on your device • No analytics, no ads, no AI reading your words • Export a clean printable copy to keep or share with your therapist, or a JSON backup of everything AN HONEST NOTE ABOUT YOUR DATA Because entries live only on your device, deleting the app deletes them. Export regularly — this is a working notepad, not long-term storage. Thought Record is free and open source. It is a self-help writing tool, not therapy, medical advice, or a medical device. Many therapists use thought records as homework between sessions — bring your exports along.
