Relief - CBT Reframing Tool

Turn spiraling thoughts into calmer, balanced ones in minutes. Private, offline CBT journaling that reveals your thinking traps - no sign-up, all on-device.

Relief is a private, science-backed CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) companion that helps you untangle anxious, stressful, and self-critical thoughts - and feel calmer in minutes.

When a thought is spinning you out, Relief walks you through the same step-by-step reframing process therapists use:

• Capture the automatic thought and how distressing it feels • Spot the cognitive distortion behind it (catastrophizing, all-or-nothing thinking, mind-reading, and more) • Weigh the evidence for and against it • Write a balanced, kinder reframe • See your distress drop - measured before and after

Over time, Relief turns your reframes into gentle insight: which thinking traps show up most, in which parts of your life, and how your recovery patterns build - so you're not just feeling better today, you're learning how your own mind works.
