FreeCBT

Tap a star to rate

FreeCBT is an open-source Android app built around a core CBT tool called "catch it, check it, change it." You write down automatic thoughts when you're struggling, examine evidence for and against that thought, and practice replacing it with a more balanced perspective. The simplicity is intentional: the app strips away extras and focuses on the core thought-record technique that therapists teach.

Use this if you want a lightweight, no-nonsense thought diary without analytics dashboards or subscription pressure. The open-source model means you're not paying with your data, and the focused technique gives you a structured way to work through anxious or negative thoughts on your own.
