Make your therapy sessions more effective
Most therapy sessions start with the same question:
“How have things been since we last spoke?”
But remembering everything from the past week — especially the moments that mattered — is difficult.
MindTrace helps you capture thoughts as they happen and turn them into a clear summary you can review before therapy.
Instead of trying to recall things from memory, you arrive with real examples, patterns, and reflections ready to discuss.
Features
Everything you need to capture your thoughts, understand your patterns and prepare for therapy.
Capture Thoughts, Instantly
Record thoughts the moment they happen — before they disappear.
-
Type or use voice to capture thoughts in seconds
-
No long journaling required
-
Build a simple habit of reflection during your day
Understand Your Patterns
MindTrace helps you spot cognitive distortions, such as catastrophising or all-or-nothing thinking, and the themes that keep coming up.
Over time you can begin to see:
-
common triggers
-
repeated thinking patterns
-
changes in your mindset
This awareness is the first step toward change.
Prepare for Therapy with Clear Summaries
Before your next session, MindTrace automatically generates simple summaries of your recent thoughts.
Instead of scrolling through entries, you can quickly review:
-
key themes since your last session
-
recurring distortions
-
thoughts worth discussing
So you walk into therapy prepared and focused.
How the App Works

3. Review Your Summary Before Therapy
Before your session, review a simple overview of your recent thoughts so you can discuss what actually mattered.

Frequently asked questions
Is MindTrace based on CBT?
MindTrace is built on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques, especially thought records and spotting cognitive distortions. These are widely used in therapy. MindTrace is a tool to support that work, not a treatment in itself.
Are my thoughts private?
MindTrace encrypts your entries and stores them securely, and only you can see them. We never sell your data. You have full rights under UK GDPR and can delete your account and all your data at any time.
Can MindTrace replace therapy?
No. MindTrace is a companion to therapy. It helps you remember what happened between sessions so your time with your therapist is better used. If you’re in crisis, contact your local emergency number.
Our Story
MindTrace started with a simple problem:
When I sat down in therapy, I couldn’t remember the thoughts and moments that shaped my week.
The things that mattered most had already faded.
So I built a simple tool to capture thoughts as they happen and review them before therapy — turning vague memories into meaningful conversations.
About
Hi, I’m Calvin, and I’m the founder of MindTrace.
MindTrace grew out of my own experiences in therapy. I found it difficult to remember my thoughts and emotions between sessions — the very moments that often mattered most. I realised I wasn’t alone in this challenge, and that sparked an idea: what if there was a simple way to capture those thoughts in real time and bring them into therapy?
That’s why I built MindTrace. It’s a companion app designed to help people log their thoughts, recognize patterns, and share clearer insights with their therapists. My mission is simple: to make therapy more effective, conversations more meaningful, and mental health outcomes stronger.
