No. Leaflo stores your entries on your device, and your therapist sees only what you export and show them yourself.
A private journal between therapy sessions
Write for yourself while the moment is fresh. Bring to your session only what you choose.
Leaflo is a private therapy journal app for iPhone. Write down a hard moment in five minutes. Your therapist sees an entry only if you decide.
While you wait for your session, the details of a hard day fade
Research shows that after a session, people remember 20 to 37% of their therapist’s recommendations. Tuesday’s details fade just as fast, so write down what happened, what you thought, and what you felt the same day.
Write your journal for yourself: no one reads it unless you decide
Write honestly, not for a reader: everything stays on your iPhone, with no account.
Lock the app with a PIN or Face ID. Leaflo keeps its backup in your iCloud.
Leaflo never sends anything to your therapist. You decide which entries to share.
After a month, your entries show which situations keep repeating
A month of entries shows what you can’t see from inside the week: which situations repeat and which thoughts come back.
Leaflo saves each entry with the date and emotions, so you don’t need to count anything.
Before a session, pick two or three entries instead of recapping the week
Pick an entry about something that still stings. Scroll through the week instead of recapping it from memory.
Add a situation or thought that has come back before. Dates and emotions show how often it happens.
Add something you want to work through with your therapist. Export all entries as text for free, or only the ones you mark with Leaflo Supporter.
Did your therapist give you an exercise for the week? Do it here
Pick a CBT homework exercise, answer the questions, and save a PDF for your session. Or download a blank worksheet.
Stick to the facts, the way a camera would see it. Feelings come next.
Naming the feeling and its strength gives you a point to compare with at the end.
This thought often drives the feeling. Write it as it sounded in your head.
Only facts count here, not feelings or guesses.
Look for anything the thought leaves out.
A fair explanation has to fit all the facts, not only the painful ones.
Even a small drop shows the thought weighs less than it felt.
A clear prediction is easier to test than a vague fear.
The more specific the prediction, the clearer the result.
One small, concrete step is enough.
A plan for obstacles makes it easier to follow through.
Fill in after the experiment
Write what happened, not what you feared.
Compare the result with your prediction.
Writing the worry down lets you put it aside without losing it.
A fixed time tells your mind the worry has a place.
You can act on a real problem. A “what if” needs a different approach.
One step, or one way to let go, is enough for today.
Your exercise is ready
Save the PDF and bring it to your session. In Leaflo, you can save these questions as your own guide and answer them right after something happens, not from memory the night before your session.
No sign-up. Your answers stay in this tab until you close it.
Your therapist’s worksheet questions, always on your phone
Your therapist’s worksheet sits at home, but the hard moment happens on the bus or at work. Type their questions in once and save them as your own guide.
Open the guide like any other entry and answer right when it happens. Leaflo saves your answers with the date and emotions.
If therapy is on pause, keep writing down hard moments on your own
Useful if:
You want to keep practicing on your own.You’re between therapists.You need a place for your therapist’s exercises.
Not a substitute if:
You need urgent or crisis help.You’re getting worse despite writing.You need a diagnosis or treatment. Then reach out to a professional.
