Quies: Private Journal & CBT

A private place to think — write or speak, and every word stays on your device.

No accounts. No ads. No data trade. Quies is a private journal and mental health companion built around one promise: a quiet space to think.

WHAT QUIES IS:

A daily anchor. Each morning, Quies offers one quiet question — never a streak count, never a celebration. Tap to write or speak. Your words save to Echoes, the chronological library of everything you've captured.

A grounding moment for anxiety. The Minute is a fast-capture surface for overwhelmed moments — for anxiety, stress, or a racing mind. Tap and hold the gold + button anywhere in the app. Eight seconds of nothing. Then a small invitation to add one thought if you'd like. No prompts. No timer on display.

A reflective companion. The Ask tab reads what you wrote and responds with three quiet moves — Acknowledge, Notice, Offer. On supported devices, the reflection runs entirely on-device. On every other device, a curated on-device provider runs the same shape locally. Free users get 3 reflections a day; Pro is unlimited.

A CBT toolkit. Five cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) exercises ship free — Thought Record, Worry Container, Behavior Activation, Gratitude, Body Scan. Ten more unlock with Pro — Cognitive Defusion, Worry Tree, Catastrophe Scaling, Five Senses Grounding, Loving-Kindness, Compassion Break, Urge Surfing, Sleep Hygiene, Worry Parking, Emotion Wheel. Mindfulness and grounding practices for everyday stress.

A pattern surface. Reflect shows what's emerging across your Echoes — mood arcs and theme groupings. Pattern language only — Quies never says "because".

PRO:
- Unlimited reflections from the on-device companion
- The full 15-exercise CBT toolkit
- Cloud Intelligence — opt-in, off by default, signed and never sent in a crisis
- Semantic search across every Echo, stemmed and scored on device
- Privacy Receipt as a printable PDF — your full data ledger, on demand

Yearly $99 (3-day free trial) — about $8 a month. Monthly $14.99. Lifetime $249, one time, no subscription.

PRIVACY:

Privacy is the whole point.

- Default: nothing leaves your device. No account. No telemetry. No analytics.
- Optional Cloud Intelligence: Pro subscribers can opt in. Entry text gets HMAC-signed and forwarded to Anthropic under their zero-retention API policy. Crisis-flagged entries never route to cloud.
- Optional anonymous diagnostics: content-free event counts. Off by default.
- Privacy Receipt: a chronological ledger of every data event Quies has made on your behalf. Export as PDF any time.

SAFETY:

If you write something heavy, Quies surfaces a Crisis Card with 911, 988 (US Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), and Crisis Text Line links. The Crisis Card is never paywalled, never delayed, never silenced. Your words still save — we never lose what you wrote.

This app is not a substitute for clinical care. If you are in crisis, please reach a professional.

Quies Pro is an auto-renewing subscription (Lifetime is a one-time purchase). Manage or cancel anytime in Google Play > Subscriptions.
