Flag this for my therapist.

The job is the gap between sessions. Not a chatbot therapist.

You leave with a breakthrough. By Wednesday it is gone. The job is: flag this for my therapist. Capture the inner critic line. Note the people-pleasing yes you did not want to give. Bring evidence, not a vibe.

Rosebud is a cloud AI journal with between-sessions language. Entries go to model APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq). That can feel like a coach in the app. It is not on-device. Clarity is a CBT thought-diary style app. Useful for structured records. Different privacy and pricing model than a $3.99 one-time Pro.

Conviction stays on your iPhone. No account. CBT/DBT tools, thought records, chain analysis. Use it to process what came up — then export or screenshot what you actually want to share. Conviction is not a replacement for therapy.

That's what Conviction was built for.

Tools that support real therapeutic work.

27 emotions. Because "sad" isn't specific enough.

Every entry gets analyzed for 27 distinct emotional categories. Guilt vs. shame. Frustration vs. rage. Nostalgia vs. grief. Mood Flow shows how your emotional patterns shift over time, so you can spot what triggers what and track whether things are actually improving.

1. Specific emotions Not a smiley face. Not a five-point scale. 27 categories that name what you're actually feeling.
2. Mood Flow Watch your emotional patterns shift week over week. See improvement that's invisible from inside the experience.
3. Your patterns After two weeks, Conviction shows you what keeps showing up. Visible patterns are workable patterns.

CBT tools built into your journal.

The Mirror reads your entries and identifies cognitive distortions: catastrophizing, mind reading, all-or-nothing thinking, emotional reasoning. Then it walks you through a structured reframe. Not generic advice. Analysis built from your actual words.

1. Distortion detected "Everyone thinks I'm failing." The Mirror identifies this as mind reading.
2. Structured reframe Find contradicting evidence. Build a balanced thought. Two steps, not a worksheet.
3. Track which distortions repeat Over time, you'll see which thinking patterns drive your emotional experience.

Somatic grounding for when emotions flood.

When the thinking brain goes offline, body-based tools work. Safe Harbor provides guided exercises: paced breathing, cold water dive reflex, progressive muscle relaxation, body scan, and sensory grounding. Available immediately, no setup required.

1. Four toolkits The Mirror, Safe Harbor, Pattern Lab, and The Council. Pick the one that fits what surfaced.
2. Safe Harbor Paced breathing for immediate regulation. Slows the nervous system without requiring you to think.
3. Sensory orienting Find something orange. Find something stable. Find something pleasant. Ground yourself in the room you're in.
4. Notice what's solid A wall. A floor. A piece of furniture. Stability is already around you.
5. Find something pleasant A plant. A window. A color you like. Simple tools that interrupt the emotional flood.

And so much more.
