Reviews
Here's what people say about MindLogs.
I open it on the subway on my way home from work. Putting my worries into words means I get home feeling refreshed.
I used to think journaling was for other kinds of people. But this is like having a guide that makes you reflect when you feel you can't keep it together.
The first time it flagged "mind reading" it really stung. But now I can even tell when other people fall into that loop.
It took me a week to get into the habit, and at first the body step didn't seem necessary. Now it's the one I use most, and it has helped me anticipate and handle my emotions better.
It's helping me improve my emotional intelligence, because I've realized how many unfounded thoughts we have.
I write at night before bed. The regular reports help you take life much more calmly and optimistically.
What a therapy journal is for
When something affects you, it can be hard to separate what happened from what you thought and felt. A therapy journal gives you a space to write each part down and see how they connect.
That record lets you come back to the experience with perspective: what worried you, how you read it and how you responded. From there, you can explore other ways to handle similar situations.
A therapy journal app or a paper notebook
Many therapy journals are notebooks with printed prompts. They work if you already know what to write and remember to go back to them.
MindLogs keeps the same idea and adds what a notebook can't do: it asks the questions in order, files every entry on a calendar and points out possible thinking traps in what you wrote. The structure is close to the thought records used in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): the situation, the emotion, the thought and the reaction, each written down on its own.
Your thought journal, guided in seven steps
MindLogs asks specific questions to help you sort out the experience:
- Emotion. Identify how you feel.
- Feeling and intensity. Name the emotion precisely and rate how strong it is.
- Body. Notice where it shows up.
- Context. Remember where you were and who you were with.
- Situation. Describe what happened.
- Thought. Write down what went through your mind.
- Reaction. If you want, describe how you responded.
You can write or dictate by voice. Each entry lets you pause on what you went through and understand how you think, feel and act.
Learn to recognize the thoughts that hurt you
Sometimes we read a situation as if it could only mean one thing. If a friend cancels plans, for example, you might decide they don't care about you without knowing what happened.
MindLogs helps you recognize possible thinking traps in your entries and suggests reflections to consider other perspectives. Naming a thought lets you ask what it's based on and whether there's another way to see the situation.
With Premium, you get instant feedback and regular reports to find the patterns that repeat and decide which ones to work on.
A place to reflect between therapy sessions
You can use MindLogs to collect experiences you want to talk about with your therapist. Having written down what happened and what you thought makes it easier to remember the details and say what worries you.
Your entries and reports can be a starting point for the conversation in your next session.
Who this journal is for
For people who want to understand their thoughts and emotions. For people who want guidance to reflect on what worries them. And for people who want to keep a record of their experiences between therapy sessions.
MindLogs is an emotional well-being tool. It can complement therapy, but it does not replace care from a mental health professional.

What is a therapy journal?
It's a record of your experiences, thoughts, emotions and reactions that helps you see how they connect. MindLogs guides you to sort out what happened, spot patterns and reflect on how you respond.
Does MindLogs replace therapy?
No. MindLogs is an emotional well-being tool that can help you reflect and keep track of experiences between sessions. It can complement therapy, but it does not replace care from a mental health professional.
How is a thought journal different from a regular diary?
A regular diary lets you write freely about your day. A thought journal organizes the situation, the emotion, the thought and the reaction so you can see how they relate. MindLogs guides you through that structure in seven steps.
Is a therapy journal app better than a paper journal?
A paper journal works if you already know what to write. An app like MindLogs asks the questions for you, keeps every entry on a calendar you can browse and points out thinking traps you might miss. The best one is the one you will keep using.
Can I share my entries with my therapist?
You can show your entries and reports from your phone and go through the experiences you want to work on together. You decide what to show and what to keep private.
Are my entries secure?
Yes. Your entries are stored encrypted on your phone and you don't need to create an account. Your journal is private, so you can write openly about what you think and feel.
Next time something gets to you, write it down here.
