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/

Five things, every day. That is the whole method. Mindset. Exercise. Nutrition. Decompress. Sleep. Five pillars, and your job is to close them, using the habits you already chose, not a list someone else wrote for you. CLOSE THE FIVE One habit per pillar. Tick it and the pillar closes itself. A streak counts the days you closed all five, and because nobody has an unbroken year, closing five banks a shield. Miss a day and one is spent automatically to keep the streak alive. No decision to make on a day that already went badly. ROUTINES YOU ACTUALLY FINISH A guided Morning Reset and Evening Wind-down that run themselves: one continuous session with a soundtrack that fades rather than stops, an optional narrator in a voice you pick, and lengths that adapt to how recovered you are. Your own affirmation is read back to you. Your own gratitude fills the gratitude step. A COMPANION THAT HAS READ YOUR DATA Ask how your sleep has been, talk through a rough day, or let it turn the conversation into a real habit, task or goal, always with your yes first. WRITE IT DOWN A journal that remembers what the day looked like when you wrote it. A vision board of your own photographs, which is what you look at during Visualize. Quick capture for a thought you do not want to lose. IT READS YOUR DAY Connect Apple Health, Oura, Garmin, WHOOP or Fitbit and your sleep and recovery arrive on their own. Connect a calendar and your day shows up beside your routines. Nothing is written back to Apple Health. DailyMends only ever reads. TRY IT WITHOUT SIGNING UP Tap "Look around the demo" for a fully populated account. No email, no password. DailyMends is a habit and reflection app. It is not a medical device, it does not diagnose or treat anything, and it is not a substitute for professional advice.
