Cohesive Journal

Cohesive is one of those apps you're supposed to delete.

You know the moment. The thumb already moving — the feed, one more episode, the 11pm scroll nobody planned. You catch it. That is the whole trigger.

Two taps: what you're doing, and what was around it. Logging it is a complete act. You can stop right there.

If you want to look underneath it, Cohesive asks one question at a time — the kind you answer by remembering something that happened, not by analyzing yourself. Then it hands your own sentences back to you. Keep one. Write your own. Or keep nothing and be done.

What you keep becomes your map: what matters to you, where you're heading, what keeps getting in the way. Next time you catch yourself, Cohesive reads that moment against your map, so you pick up where you were instead of starting over.

The map is the product, and it leaves with you. It exports, in your words, and it outlives the app.

You keep the map. You delete the machine.

WHAT IT REFUSES

No blocking. You own your phone, and locks never survived you anyway.

No streaks, no scores, no counters. A scrolled day is evidence, not a failure. No number anywhere in Cohesive summarizes your behavior.

No coach. Nothing starts a session but you.

No diagnosis. Cohesive never names what might be underneath. It asks; the verdict is yours, and "don't know yet" is a real answer that it leaves alone.

No promise that you will consume less. That is not what this is for.

WHO IT IS FOR

Someone who catches their thumb moving without being sure they chose it — and who, underneath that, is not certain what they would rather be doing with the evening, the commute, or the years.

Not for parental control, monitoring another person, punitive abstinence, or emergencies.

WHO'S WATCHING

There is a screen in the app that answers that in plain sentences, and you can read it before you have an account: what leaves your phone (the catch, the conversation, your map — nothing else), where it goes (Cohesive's servers, and the external model providers whose models write the questions), why, and the three narrow cases in which a person could ever read it.

Never sold. Never used to aim advertising at you — there is no advertising here. Never used to train public models. Nothing in the app is tuned to keep you in it longer. Export and deletion work whether or not you are paying.

WHAT IT COSTS

Seven days with everything open. After that, one plan or the other: €14.99 per month, or €92.99 once. No annual plan, no free tier, and nothing is charged unless you choose one. Your store shows you the exact charge, in your currency, before it takes anything.

English and Spanish, both written rather than translated.
