What you can do

Gentle tools, real techniques

Everything you'd practice in CBT — made simple enough to do on your phone, without it ever feeling like homework.

Guided CBT Thought Records

Work through a difficult thought step by step — the situation, the automatic thought, the evidence, and a kinder, more balanced view.

Mood Tracking

A simple 1–10 check-in in seconds. Over time, see how your mood shifts and what tends to come before each up and down.

Spot Your Thinking Traps

Recognize the patterns that catch you most — catastrophizing, all-or-nothing thinking, mind-reading — explained in plain language.

Behavioral Activation

Plan a small, meaningful action, predict how it'll feel, then compare expectation with reality. Build momentum when motivation is low.

Weekly Reviews

Look back gently at your week — your wins, what was hard — and set a kind intention for the days ahead.

Therapist-Friendly Export

Create a clean PDF summary to bring to a session — with the option to keep your private writing redacted. You choose what's shared.

The 5-minute reset

From spiral to steadier

Notice

Catch the moment and write down what just happened, in your own words.

Name it

Capture the thought and how strongly you believe it, then rate the feeling.

Reframe

Weigh the evidence and find a more balanced, compassionate take.

Move on

Re-rate how you feel and notice the shift. A little lighter, every time.

A look inside

Calm, clear, and beautifully simple

Your journal is yours. Full stop.

Your reflections are deeply personal, so we treat them that way. SteadyNote was built privacy-first from day one — there's no account, and nothing to sign in to.

Frequently asked

Is SteadyNote a replacement for therapy?

No. SteadyNote is a self-help journaling tool, not therapy or a medical device. It's designed to support the work you do on your own or alongside a therapist — never to replace professional care.

Do I need to know CBT to use it?

Not at all. The guided exercises walk you through each step, and the clinical terms are always explained in plain language. If your therapist recommended CBT, you'll feel right at home; if you're new, it's gentle and easy to follow.

Where is my data stored?

Everything stays on your device and in your own private iCloud. There are no accounts, no servers of ours, no ads, and no tracking. We never see your entries.

What do I get with Pro?

Pro unlocks full Insights into your moods and patterns, activity insights, and the therapist-ready PDF report. It's available monthly, yearly, or as a one-time Lifetime purchase — and it supports an independent, privacy-first app.

Which devices are supported?

SteadyNote runs on iPhone and iPad, and syncs securely across your devices through your own iCloud.
