Capture (For Therapists)

Capture is an Android practice management app for independent mental health professionals who want full control over their clinical records. Everything lives on the therapist's device; there is no Capture server and no subscription account.

WHAT IT DOES

• Full client records: case histories, session notes, treatment goals, attachments, audio recordings and PDF exports.
• Process-Based Therapy: per-client process monitoring with check-ins, rolling baselines, trend charts and alerts when a process drops. Includes 66 evidence-based intervention kernels across 12 processes, plus a 5-section PBT formulation editor.
• Standardised assessments: ORS and SRS in a client-handoff mode that hides therapist controls. Also PHQ-9, GAD-7 and others. Scores attach to the session and feed trend charts.
• Scheduling with smart alerts for clients not seen recently.
• Per-client payment and fee tracking.
• PDF exports with two-step password-protected sharing; channel and recipient logged for disclosure accounting.
• Per-client consents for Privacy Notice, Treatment, Audio Recording and Telehealth.

PRIVACY AND SECURITY

Capture is HIPAA-aligned, not HIPAA-compliant: compliance is achieved by the practice, not by an app. Capture implements the technical safeguards from 45 CFR Sec. 164.312:

• AES-256 database encryption at rest (SQLCipher); passphrase wrapped with an AES-256 GCM key in the Android Keystore.
• Biometric unlock with device-credential fallback; the app refuses to start without a lock screen.
• 15-minute inactivity re-lock in foreground and after backgrounding, including on ORS/SRS handoff screens.
• One-shot biometric prompt for sensitive actions such as Wipe All Data.
• Activity audit log of creates, edits, deletes, views, exports, backups, restores, sign-ins and wipes. Exportable as CSV; a Wipe will not proceed until a CSV copy is written.
• Backups are AES-256 encrypted on device using a PBKDF2-derived key from a backup PIN Capture does not store. Destination is the therapist's choice: a local folder or their own Google Drive.
• Templates for HIPAA documents the practice has to produce (Notice of Privacy Practices, breach notification, contingency plan, risk analysis). Delivery and sign-off remain the therapist's responsibility.
• If Google Drive is used, the BAA requirement attaches to Google; whether a given account qualifies is for the therapist to verify directly with Google. The local-folder option avoids this entirely.
• Anonymous usage analytics only, never including client content. Opt-out clears the analytics profile immediately.

WHO IT IS FOR

Independent therapists, counsellors, clinical psychologists and psychiatrists in solo or small practice who want clinical data on a device they control, an audit trail they can hand over, and clinical tooling (PBT, ORS/SRS, formulation, longitudinal goal tracking) beyond generic note-taking.

Android. Offline-first. Optional backup to Google Drive or a local folder. Distributed via Google Play.
