Nothing you write ever leaves your device
MindForward asks you about the thing that's actually weighing on you. Every other app that does this sends your answer to a server. This one doesn't. Your words are processed and stored only on your iPhone or iPad, using Apple's on-device intelligence — no account, no cloud, no AI service reading your problems.
How it works
From stuck to a first step, in about a minute
Say what's going on
In your own words. A hard conversation you keep postponing, a decision you can't settle, a change you've been meaning to make.
Answer a few questions
About your situation, what's getting in the way, and how you'd like to be guided.
Get your plan
A calm reflection of where you are, one small step for today, and the steps that follow.
Move forward
Your path shows what's done, what's next and what's coming — without showing you the whole mountain at once.
Calm by design
No feeds. No streaks. No nagging.
MindForward has no social feed, no streak to break, and no notifications designed to pull you back in. It's a quiet place to think clearly, and it is happy to be closed. You can see your current step on your Home Screen, or start a plan with Siri — and the widget only ever shows a step's title, never what you wrote.
Questions
Is my data really private?
Yes. What you write and the plans created for you are processed and stored only on your device. Nothing is uploaded to us or sent to an external AI service, and no account is required. You can reset all your data at any time from Settings.
Do I need Apple Intelligence?
No. With Apple Intelligence switched on, it writes your plan. Without it, MindForward writes the plan itself from your answers, on your device — every feature works either way. If you do switch Apple Intelligence on, iOS downloads its model once, over Wi-Fi. MindForward downloads nothing of its own.
What does it cost?
The app is free to download and your first step is always free. MindForward Plus unlocks your full guided path — every next step, in order — plus the ability to revisit and regenerate your plan. It's available as a weekly or annual subscription, and you can cancel anytime in the App Store.
Is this therapy?
No. MindForward offers supportive guidance for everyday problems and is not a substitute for professional medical, legal, financial or mental-health advice. If you're struggling, please talk to a professional.
What do I need to run it?
An iPhone or iPad running iOS or iPadOS 26.0 or later. It also runs on Macs with Apple silicon and on Apple Vision.
