Severe mental health challenges that need more than a weekly appointment.
Most apps sacrifice privacy by using cloud storage, or quality by relying on basic text inputs.
Anchor solves both with a voice‑first, fully local approach.
After a stressful meeting or a sleepless night, open Anchor and start talking. Natural voice conversations (15–45 min) that adapt to what you need in the moment.
Over time, Anchor notices patterns — like how work stress spikes every Monday, or how sleep affects your mood. Notes stored on-device.
Before your next therapy appointment, export your notes as a PDF. Arrive prepared with patterns, insights, and discussion prompts your therapist can use.

Your notes and history stay on your device. Live conversations are powered by advanced AI.
Most mental health apps store your most vulnerable conversations in the cloud. That means your data can be subpoenaed, sold, or exposed in a breach.
Your notes never leave your iPhone.
Session history is stored on-device only, with AES-256 encryption. Live conversations are processed via AI and are not stored by us.
Not another journaling app. Every feature is built to bridge the gap between sessions with clinical precision.
Real-time voice conversations with <300ms latency. Not text-to-speech — natural, adaptive dialogue.
11-section clinical documentation with mood tracking, pattern recognition, and therapist discussion prompts.
Multi-layer crisis detection with immediate 988 integration and emergency resources.
Mood tracking, breathing exercises, quick check-ins right from your home screen and lock screen.
Guided box breathing, 4-7-8, physiological sigh with calming animations.
Identifies recurring topics, triggers, and mood shifts across sessions for deeper self-awareness.
In 2024, the mental health app industry generated billions in revenue — and unprecedented data privacy scandals. Major platforms were caught selling sensitive user data to advertisers and data brokers.
When I looked for a tool to supplement my own therapy between sessions, I realized the tradeoff: to get AI-driven insights, you had to upload your most vulnerable moments to a corporate cloud.
I decided to reject
that tradeoff.
So we built Anchor with a simple principle: make it architecturally impossible for us to ever read your stored reflections.
— The Anchor Team
Anchor isn't a replacement for therapy — it's a bridge. Designed from the ground up to complement professional care, not compete with it.
When your clients use Anchor:
The result? Faster progress, more engaged clients, better outcomes.
In this brief session, you expressed feeling overwhelmed, possibly due to the technical aspects of transcription and a need for reliable systems.
You recognized the potential impact of your communication on others, indicating a growing awareness of interpersonal dynamics.
"I think I might have overwhelmed you with what I said."
No. Anchor is designed to support you between therapy sessions, not replace professional care. We strongly encourage working with a licensed therapist.
Your session notes and history are stored locally on your iPhone with AES-256 encryption — never synced to our servers. Live AI conversations are processed in real-time during a session and are never stored. We collect no conversation data on our end.
No. Anchor does not diagnose, treat, or cure any mental health condition. If you're experiencing a mental health crisis, please call 988 or emergency services.
Anchor has crisis detection, but if you're in immediate danger, please: • Call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) • Text HOME to 741741 (Crisis Text Line) • Call 911 for emergency services
Anchor will offer a free tier (3 sessions/week) and Anchor Pro ($9.99/month) with unlimited sessions and advanced features. Currently in beta.
We're launching a closed beta soon, with an App Store release to follow. Join the waitlist to be among the first.
We're starting with iOS to ensure the highest quality experience, deeply integrating with Apple's Speech and SwiftData frameworks for local-first privacy. Android may come later depending on demand.
No. Anchor is completely private. You can choose to share session summaries with your therapist, but it's entirely optional.
You open Anchor, tap to start, and talk naturally — just like you would with a friend. A session can last 15–45 minutes. Afterward, Anchor generates structured notes with patterns, mood insights, and discussion prompts for your next therapy appointment.
No. We have agreements with our AI provider that strictly prohibit using your conversations for model training. Live conversation data is processed ephemerally and immediately discarded after the response is generated.
Join the beta and start processing what matters, between sessions.
