A therapy session is 50 minutes long. Everything that happens in a client's life between one session and the next — the actual texture of their week — usually arrives secondhand, filtered through memory, a week later.
Most of what matters to someone's mental health happens outside the room.
MindDiary started from a simple question: what if journaling between sessions were easy enough that people actually did it, and structured enough that a therapist could use it without reading a diary line by line?
Two products, one habit
On the client side, MindDiary is a daily journal that takes under a minute — a mood check, a short note, done. On the therapist side, it becomes a dashboard: mood trends, flagged language, and a draft note the therapist reviews and edits, never publishes unread.
Where we're headed: More of the same discipline: less dashboard, more signal. Every feature we ship has to make the five minutes before a session more useful, not just more populated.
This blog is where we'll write about that process — what we're building, what we've learned from therapists using it, and the research behind the decisions.
