Kindframe: a therapist-designed self-help app for iPhone, private by design

An iOS app for a US mental health practice. It turns therapist-designed skills from CBT, DBT, ACT and mindfulness into short, plain-language exercises, with no account and no tracking.

Northern Ohio Health and Wellness: screens from the project

What Northern Ohio Health and Wellness needed

A licensed therapist with more than 20 years of practice wanted to put the skills she teaches in session into her clients' pockets, without collecting any personal data.

What we built

  • Skill library

    CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness, trauma-informed and exposure skills, each explained in plain steps.

  • Guided tools

    A five-step thought reframe, a box breathing timer, a fear ladder and standard mood, anxiety and stress check-ins.

  • Get help now

    One tap to crisis support and a therapist directory.

  • Launch kit

    The final App Store listing, eight App Store screenshots, the app icon and a developer summary.

The result

  • The design keeps everything a user types on their phone. No account is needed to use it.
