A calm, private workspace for your mind — built natively for macOS.
Your private space — mood at a glance, recent sessions, and what to do next.
Your Data, Your Control
Every claim on this page links into the Privacy Audit — so you can verify it yourself, not take our word for it.
Every conversation, journal entry, and mood log is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it's saved. Only you can access your data.

Evidence-based tools powered by private, on-device AI — adapting to how you feel right now.
Talk through what's on your mind, journal reflectively, set goals with an accountability partner, or simply breathe in a calm space. Anshin adapts to what you need.
Check in before and after each session with an intuitive mood compass. Track your emotional patterns over time and discover what helps.
Structured exercises inspired by psychology research — thought records, cognitive reframing, and behavioral experiments you can use during any conversation.
Build a step-by-step fear ladder for anxiety. Rate situations, track exposure attempts, and watch your confidence grow over time.
Write unsent letters to your past self, future self, or someone you need to forgive. The act of writing is the practice — backed by 30+ years of research.
Log your sleep and discover your personal sleep-mood correlation. After 2 weeks, see your own data mapped — more convincing than being told 'sleep matters.'
Map what matters most across relationships, work, health, and growth. Weekly check-ins show where your actions align with your values — and where they drift.
Anshin remembers your patterns, themes, and progress across sessions — all stored locally. Every conversation builds on the last.
When You're Feeling Low, Spiraling, or Emotionally Overwhelmed
An empathetic, offline AI companion equipped with structured clinical tools — so you can work through acute distress without sending your raw vulnerabilities to the cloud.
When panic or acute overwhelm strikes, your body reacts before logic can catch up. Anshin guides you through 5-4-3-2-1 sensory grounding and paced box breathing (4-4-4-4) to regulate your autonomic nervous system immediately.
When your mind is racing with catastrophic scenarios, Anshin's guided CBT thought records help extract automatic thoughts, examine concrete counter-evidence, and construct balanced, realistic perspectives.
Feeling stuck in all-or-nothing thinking, emotional reasoning, or toxic 'should' statements? The local AI gently identifies cognitive traps and helps you reframe negative self-talk with patience and warmth.
Admit painful emotions, burnout, or grief you wouldn't say out loud. With zero servers, zero telemetry, and AES-256-GCM local encryption, your crisis disclosures can never be leaked, sold to advertisers, or seen by anyone.
