More than a journal

A complete mental health toolkit — encrypted and on your device.

CBT Thought Records

Challenge negative thinking with structured 7-step cognitive behavioral therapy worksheets. Track automatic thoughts, emotions, and cognitive distortions.

DBT Skills

Guided exercises for Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, Mindfulness, and Interpersonal Effectiveness. TIPP, DEAR MAN, Radical Acceptance, and more.

Self-Discovery Tools

Explore your inner world with Core Beliefs worksheets, Values Clarification exercises, and an interactive Emotions Wheel.

Core Beliefs

Identify and challenge deep-seated beliefs that shape your thinking. Examine evidence for and against core beliefs, and build healthier alternatives over time.

Values Clarification

Discover what matters most to you. Rate and rank personal values across life domains, then use them as a compass for decisions and goal-setting.

Emotions Wheel

Build emotional literacy with an interactive emotions wheel. Move from basic feelings to nuanced emotions, reflect on what you're experiencing, and save to your journal.

Mental Health Assessments

Standardized screenings — PHQ-9 (depression), GAD-7 (anxiety), PSS-10 (stress), ISI (insomnia), WHO-5 (wellbeing), and PC-PTSD-5. Track scores over time.

Medication Tracker

Log medications, dosages, and schedules. Track side effects, effectiveness, and get reminders. All encrypted — your prescriptions stay private.

Lifestyle Tracking

Monitor the daily habits that affect your mental health — food and nutrition, sleep patterns, and substance use — all correlated with your mood.

Food & Nutrition Log

Track meals, hunger levels, and how food affects your mood. Log breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks with mood tags to spot patterns between nutrition and mental health.

Sleep Tracking

Log sleep quality, bedtime, and wake time. See how your sleep patterns correlate with mood over time. Includes sleep hygiene tips and recommendations.

Substance Tracking

Monitor caffeine, alcohol, and other substance use alongside your mood. Encrypted and private — track honestly without judgment to understand your patterns.

Therapy Session Notes

Record notes before and after therapy sessions. Track topics discussed, insights gained, and homework assigned. Keep your therapeutic journey organized and private.

Moon Phase Moods

Track how you feel with a unique moon phase mood system. Full moon for great days, new moon for tough ones. See patterns in your Year in Pixels heatmap.

Insights & Analytics

Track journaling streaks, mood trends, writing patterns, and assessment scores over time. Behavioral activation shows which activities improve your mood.

Crisis Support & Grounding

Quick access to crisis hotlines, guided breathing exercises, 5-senses grounding techniques, and a worry time tool. Help when you need it most.

Military-Grade Encryption

AES-256-GCM encryption on all personal data — entries, mood, tags, photos, medications, everything. Face ID / Touch ID unlock. Auto-lock on inactivity.

Privacy isn't a feature.
It's the foundation.

Most journaling apps store your innermost thoughts on their servers, train AI on your entries, or lock features behind subscriptions.

Phase is different. Your data never leaves your device. There are no servers, no accounts, no cloud — and there never will be.

  • All data encrypted on your device
  • No accounts or cloud sync
  • No AI reading your thoughts
  • No analytics or tracking
  • Export your data anytime — no lock-in

I built Phase because I know how important it is to have a safe space for your thoughts. Journaling has been part of my own mental health journey, and I wanted to create something that respects your privacy the way therapy respects confidentiality. This isn't a startup trying to monetize your emotions — it's one person's way of paying it forward.
