CBT without a Therapist (Helpy) is a self-help app for anxiety, low mood and stress, built on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), DBT and ACT. One account works on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Android, Wear OS and the web, and your data syncs between devices.
What it includes:
- Helpy, an AI chat that listens, suggests a CBT technique that fits the situation and walks you through it. On the web and Mac, Helpy's replies can be read aloud.
- A thought record journal with AI review of entries, and mood check-ins.
- A library of exercises with audio guidance: breathing, grounding, worry time, cognitive defusion and more.
- Screening questionnaires with instant scored results (PHQ-9, GAD-7, DASS-21 and others).
- A psychological profile built from your conversations, journal and tests (iPhone).
- Photos and documents (screenshots, PDF, Word) in the chat, reminders set from the chat, and a daily "How are you right now?" check-in (Android, coming to iPhone).
- On Wear OS: ask Helpy by voice and read the answer on your wrist, log your mood in two taps, and a 4-2-6 breathing exercise with vibration.
Privacy and control:
- End-to-end encrypted journal on the web, and app lock with Face ID, fingerprint or PIN.
- Journal entries, mood check-ins and test results are saved without internet and sync when you are back online.
- Export of your data to PDF and full account deletion.
In a crisis, Helpy points to hotlines, with local numbers for a number of countries.
Helpy is a self-help tool. It is not therapy and does not replace professional care.
Pricing: on the website you can try 5 messages with Helpy, the tests and the exercises without signing up. A free account adds 10 AI chat replies, 3 AI journal reviews, and unlimited journal entries, exercises, tests and mood check-ins. Full access is a one-time payment ($29 on the website), no subscription. No ads.
