Notes written while you listen. PsyFi is the AI documentation companion for licensed therapists, counselors, psychologists, and other mental-health clinicians. Record the session on your iPhone and PsyFi drafts the note: accurate transcription with speaker labels, a structured SOAP, DAP, or BIRP note, and a clinical chat assistant for follow-up questions. HOW IT WORKS 1. Tap record for an in-person or telehealth session (with your client's informed consent). 2. Your audio uploads securely and is deleted from your iPhone as soon as the upload completes. 3. PsyFi notifies you by push and email the moment the transcript and note are ready. Review, edit, and copy the note into your EHR. WHAT YOU GET • AI session scribe: a draft progress note minutes after the session, not hours • SOAP, DAP, and BIRP formats, structured for review and export • Transcript with speaker labels • PsyFi Chat: clinical questions, documentation help, and note revisions • Response detail setting: Brief, Balanced, or Detailed for chat replies and generated notes • Clients: link a session to a client record and find every note in one place • Documents: scan a document and bring it into a chat • One account across iPhone and the PsyFi Practice web app, with single sign-on BUILT FOR CLINICAL PRIVACY • Session audio is deleted from your iPhone as soon as it uploads • On-device data is encrypted with iOS Data Protection while your iPhone is locked • Data is encrypted in transit and at rest on PsyFi's servers • Transcription runs on PsyFi's own infrastructure, not a third-party transcription service • PsyFi never uses your sessions to train AI models • Mic-only recording: PsyFi cannot capture audio from other apps • Push notifications and emails never contain client names or note content • Optional Face ID lock and App Switcher redaction • In-app activity log and account deletion • HIPAA-aligned, with a Business Associate Agreement available for your practice FOR LICENSED PROFESSIONALS PsyFi is intended for licensed clinicians practicing under appropriate HIPAA safeguards and Business Associate Agreements.
