CBT Thought Diary is a journaling app that uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and positive psychology to help consumers track and improve their moods and to reframe their thinking. Consumers can choose between reporting a thought, mood, or expression of gratitude. The app will guide consumers through specific exercises such as challenging their negative thoughts. Other features include insights and a discover page that has different topics that consumers might be struggling with (e.g., relationships, sleep). After the consumer inputs five daily journal entries, they unlock personalized stats. After the free trial, the annual subscription of the app costs $59.99.
