About Simple CBT - Mental Health App
Simple CBT is a minimalist cognitive behavioral therapy journal to help people become aware and break free of negative thought patterns. Simple CBT main features at a glance: • Minimalist design • Quick mood check-ins to track how you feel throughout the day • Custom feelings and situation tags to make your journal truly personal • Mood calendar to visualize your emotional patterns over time • Interactive micro exercises to practice identifying and challenging cognitive distortions • On-device AI perspective to get feedback on your journal entries (requires Apple Intelligence) • Earn fun badges for hitting milestones • View your top distortions and trends • Quick thought dumps for when you need to get thoughts out fast • Share your entries as PDFs • Custom themes to personalize your experience • iCloud sync to keep your data across devices • Supports dark mode (and light mode) • Available in English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese • All your journal entries and app data are stored locally on your device Simple CBT was built with a clear design to help you worry less and live more. By using a simple 6-step process, you will quickly be on your way to being more mindful. This will help you to become mentally prepared to overcome daily anxiety, depression, and stress. Track your mood with quick check-ins and see your patterns on a calendar view. Practice spotting cognitive distortions with interactive micro exercises. To assist you to stay motivated and build a healthy habit, you will earn badges for hitting milestones. These badges also help to promote gratitude which can improve happiness. The more entries you add, the more insights you can gain from seeing which cognitive distortions you are commonly falling into. To make the process easier when you are pressed for time or too caught up in the moment, there is a draft feature which allows you to start creating an entry and save it at anytime to be completed later. For those times when you just need to get your thoughts out quickly, use the thought dump feature to write freely without going through the full CBT process. You can also create your own custom feelings and situation tags to organize entries in a way that feels natural to you. In the event that you are working with a therapist, and they would like to have a copy of your entries, you can export each entry as a PDF to share. Your privacy is a priority. All your journal entries and app data are stored locally on your device, with optional iCloud sync to your private account. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based practice. While CBT is most effective in treating people with anxiety or depression it could also help with: • Panic • Stress • Phobias • Schizophrenia • Sleeping Disorders • Eating Disorders • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD) • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders (OCD) • Bipolar Disorders • Sexual Disorders Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is something that everyone can benefit from and can be done without this Simple CBT app such as by using a diary and following the steps.
