Who makes Leaflo
Leaflo is made by Nick Skorobogatko, an independent designer and maker. I design the app, write every article on this blog, and answer support email myself.
I am not a therapist, psychologist, or medical professional, and nothing here is written as clinical guidance. What I bring is product work: turning a structured self-help exercise into something a tired person can actually finish on a phone.
You can reach me on LinkedIn or through the support page.
What the method draws on
The guided check-in in Leaflo is inspired by cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), an evidence-based form of psychotherapy. The app borrows the structure that a written thought record uses: what happened, what you felt, what thought came with it, and what could come next.
Leaflo is a self-help journal, not a clinical CBT program, not a treatment, and not a therapy service. It does not diagnose anything, does not score your mental health, and does not send your notes anywhere.
How articles here are written
- One clear question per article, answered in the first screen.
- Research, health, and psychology claims are linked to a primary source: a study, a public health body, or a clinical institute. Links to other apps are marked so it is clear they are not endorsements.
- No fake rankings, no invented statistics, no promises about outcomes.
- Articles are dated, and substantial revisions update the date.
What Leaflo is not
- It is not therapy and not a replacement for a therapist.
- It does not provide diagnosis or medical advice.
- It is not built for emergencies or crisis care.
If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, please use a crisis service in your country rather than an app. The full disclaimer has more detail.
