Meeting didn't go as planned...

"I'm not good enough"

"One meeting doesn't define my abilities. I've succeeded before."

Most journaling apps are just digital notebooks

They store your thoughts. But nothing changes. You write the same worries. You feel the same way. The blank page stares back without guidance.

How Unwindly transforms your thinking

Simple steps that create lasting change

1

Write

Capture the thought that's bothering you. The situation. The automatic reaction. Get it out of your head and onto the screen.

2

Reflect

Examine the evidence. What supports this thought? What contradicts it? What would you tell a friend who thought this?

3

Rewire

Discover a balanced perspective you actually believe. Not toxic positivity - genuine, evidence-based reframing that sticks.

Before

"I'm a failure. Everything I do goes wrong."

After

"This didn't work out, but I've succeeded before. One setback doesn't define me."

Frequently asked questions

Why free during beta?

We're looking for early users to help shape Unwindly. Your feedback is invaluable. After launch, it'll be a one-time purchase - because we believe you should pay for the product, not be the product.

What do beta testers get?

Full access to all features, direct influence on the app's development, and a special thank you (discount or extended access) when we launch officially.

Is this a replacement for therapy?

No. Unwindly is a self-help tool that uses techniques inspired by CBT, but it's not a substitute for professional mental health care. If you're struggling, please reach out to a therapist or counselor.

Do I need Pro for the app to work?

Absolutely not. The full app with all features works perfectly on a single device without Pro. Pro only adds end-to-end encrypted sync if you want to use Unwindly on multiple devices.

Is my data really private?

Yes. All journal data stays on your device. We don't have servers storing your entries. If you enable Pro sync, your data is end-to-end encrypted - we couldn't read it even if we wanted to.

What's CBT?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the most researched psychological approach for changing unhelpful thinking patterns. It's what therapists use. Unwindly brings these structured techniques to your pocket in an accessible way.
