Cogniary is a guided thought record for anyone doing CBT work — on their own or between therapy sessions. Instead of a blank page or a mood-only diary, it walks you through the same structure a therapist would: what happened, the automatic thought it triggered, the feeling behind it, and a more balanced way to see it. Most journaling apps optimize for how fast you can vent. Cogniary optimizes for how clearly you can think. Log the situation, name the cognitive distortion at play — catastrophizing, mind reading, should statements, and seven more — and write your way to a steadier reframe. Everything lives on your device. No account, no sync server, no analytics. Included: unlimited guided thought records, an emotion-intensity scale, and Face ID lock to keep your entries private. Cogniary Pro adds an on-device Distortion Detector that spots patterns as you write, Insights charts across your emotions and distortions over time, full-text search, and a one-tap PDF export to bring to your next therapy session.
