Notice patterns in your thinking—without handing your journal to us

Your journal. Your device. Your pace.

Clearthought helps you pause, capture what happened, and work through a familiar CBT-style thought record—with weekly check-ins and charts—in one place on your iPhone. Your entries are not uploaded to Clearthought, and you don’t need a Clearthought account for your journal. Optional Clearthought Pro adds deeper charts, backup, and CSV/PDF export—each only when you choose. Compare free and Pro.

CBT-style practice, privately.

How it works

Turn a tough moment into a clear next step: guide a situation through evidence, distortions, and a balanced alternative—right on your phone. What you log here is what charts and summaries draw from later.

New thought entry form in Clearthought. — Start with what happened and what went through your mind.

Charts from your own entries

Charts summarize what you already logged—how entries fall across days, thinking patterns (including cognitive distortions), and personal goals. Two-week and one-month ranges are included for every chart. Clearthought Pro unlocks longer spans, optional period comparisons, streak summaries, weekly check-in score trends (self-report—not a diagnosis), and sleep context from Apple Health. Drawn only from your library on your device; Clearthought doesn’t host your journal on our side.

Clearthought Charts tab showing entries by day and entries by distortion over two weeks. — Open the full chart view for an overview of entry activity and trends.

When you want a closer look, dedicated trend views slice the same library by thinking pattern and by goal—so you can revisit what shows up, without turning your journal into a scorecard. Screens may show longer ranges or comparisons that require Clearthought Pro.

Clearthought chart showing how journal entries trend by cognitive distortion over a selected period. — Notice how often different thinking patterns appear across your entries—context for reflection, not a verdict.

Clearthought chart showing journal entries related to personal goals over time. — See how thoughts you’ve logged connect to the goals you care about, across the time range you choose.

Your data, in your hands

Clearthought Pro unlocks CSV and PDF export from Home, plus encrypted backup and restore in Settings—each action starts only when you do. Use exports for your own files, a backup you control, or a conversation with someone you trust. Pick the full library or a date range. If you work with a therapist or other professional, share a file only when you choose, with people and storage you trust.

Clearthought export all entries options. — Export everything for your own backup—or a fuller picture to share with a clinician when you choose.

Clearthought export entries by date range. — Narrow to a period (for example, around a session). The file is yours—share with a trusted professional only if and how you want.

Longer chart windows, optional comparisons, and exports you start yourself—still private, still on your terms.

Clearthought Pro

Clearthought Pro extends what you already log with longer chart ranges, optional period comparisons, streak summaries, and backup/export that leave your device only when you start them—under the same privacy stance: your journal text is not uploaded to Clearthought. The core journal and standard chart ranges work without a subscription.
