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/

Therapy works. Then the week happens. You leave the session clear. Something finally clicked, you knew what you wanted to try, and within days life has closed over it. Untangle is built for exactly that gap: nothing from therapy gets lost. One hour with your therapist, then 167 hours of life before the next one. People recall about a third of what happens in a session, and what gets forgotten never gets practiced. Untangle is for the other 167 hours. RIGHT AFTER YOUR SESSION (60 SECONDS) Walk out, tap once, and say it while it is warm: what you talked about, what clicked, what you want to try. Untangle turns the ramble into the week's handles, kept in your own words. THROUGH THE WEEK Your practice sits at the top of home. One glance and you remember what you wanted to try this week, so it gets used instead of forgotten. A gentle daily check-in: did you practice it today? One tap. No streaks, no guilt, just an honest count. Rough moment? Open your own tools: a guided breath, and the things that helped you before, in your words. WHEN YOUR HEAD GETS LOUD Talk or type the mess. No structure needed. In seconds it comes back organized: the themes underneath, one calm "it sounds like" line, gentle questions worth sitting with, and talking points for your next session. WALKING BACK IN Your next-session brief builds itself: what is worth the room's time, how the practice actually went, and the threads you keep pulling. You arrive knowing what to say. Session after session it compounds, and nothing you said has to be said twice. YOUR FIRST NOTE IS FREE Made from your own words during setup, before you decide anything. You feel it work before you pay for it. YOUR THOUGHTS STAY YOURS No account needed. Your notes live on your phone, not our servers. AI processing happens only in the moment you ask. We never store your words, never use them to train AI, and never sell them. Lock with Face ID. Export or delete everything, any time. MAKE IT YOURS Pick your colors, and set the app to your own session rhythm: weekly, fortnightly, or twice a week. Untangle is a journaling and organization tool. It is not a medical device, does not provide diagnosis or treatment, and is not a replacement for professional care. If you are in crisis, the app links you to real support lines under Settings. Membership unlocks the full experience. The yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial.
