Understand what's inside
A private space to think, journal, and notice what keeps coming back, turning raw thoughts into clearer understanding. Built to slow you down when thinking is racing, not to amplify it.
What’s here now.
- ✓A short daily check-in: a grounded opener, a mood and an optional note, and one reflection that quotes your own words back to you.
- ✓Journaling and quick capture, including voice notes, for whatever’s on your mind.
- ✓Mood tracking via Apple’s State of Mind, a single tap, no form.
- ✓Safety Mode: shorter, grounding replies that steer away from big late-night decisions, with a fixed safety floor no setting can turn off.
- ✓A capable cloud AI chat powered by Claude, plus a fully on-device option. You choose, with a plain-language data agreement before anything is shared.
- ✓A one-tap crisis surface (988, a clinician, a trusted contact) that is deterministic and never routed through the AI.
What’s coming to Know.
Weekly check-in scales
Validated self-ratings (PHQ-9, GAD-7, ASRM) offered conversationally, one question at a time, to track your trajectory over time, for self-knowledge, not diagnosis.
Adaptive cadence
If your signals shift, Kensora gently offers a check-in sooner rather than waiting for the usual time.
Cited evidence, never opaque
When Kensora notices a shift, it shows the specific signals behind it instead of an unexplained verdict.
Pattern surfacing
Over weeks, your own recurring themes surface, using your words and counts (“you’ve mentioned an ‘endless list’ several times”), not the app’s interpretation.
Voice check-in
Answer the check-in out loud; speech is transcribed on your device and flows into the same private journal.
Kensora is a wellbeing tool, not a medical device. It notices shifts from your own baseline, it does not diagnose, and anything urgent is routed to people and crisis resources, never decided by the AI.
Further out: research & ideas.
More speculative directions. Some may never ship; they’re here for honesty about where the thinking goes.
Voice & typing signals
Prosody in your voice and the rhythm of your typing as additional, opt-in context for how you’re doing. Research-stage.
A private model in your own voice
A nightly, on-device model grounded in your own writing, parked, and approached carefully to avoid the “mirror that amplifies you” trap Know exists to prevent.
Broader optional screening
Wider, occasional self-screening instruments where licensing and clinical framing allow.
