Notice, a journaling app
Understand yourself better, cope with difficult emotions, and change habitual responses with a journal for your thoughts and feelings.
Notice,
Understanding isn’t the same as changing
“We often already know how we would like to respond. But when the moment comes, our habitual response kicks in before we have a chance to notice it. Notice helps you capture that moment, name your emotions, and recognize recurring patterns—so that next time, you have the opportunity to choose a different response.”
Notice helps you break an experience down into its parts: what happened, what thought came up, what you felt, and how you responded
You can customize the steps and their order or choose a ready-made template—for example, one recommended by a psychologist.
The app includes templates for a quick entry, Situation–Thought–Emotion–Response (STER), working with a thought, body awareness, and behavioral analysis.
For example, the basic STER template helps you explore an experience in four steps:
For example, the basic STER template helps you explore an experience in four steps:

2
Thought
What went through your mind at that moment.
3
Emotion
What you felt and how intense the feeling was.
4
Response
What you did or felt the urge to do.

All features
Filter and search your entries
Search entries by keyword or filter them by emotion and tag to compare similar situations and spot recurring patterns in how you respond.
Overview of your recent entries
See how your entries have changed over time and which emotional states appeared most often. There are no scores, goals, or “right” metrics here—it’s not a progress report, but a calm way to understand yourself a little better.
Export and import entries and settings
Export one or more entries to share with your therapist or provide context for a conversation with AI.
Transfer your entries and settings to another phone, or import guided entry templates prepared by your therapist.

Reminders that adapt to your needs
Notice can remind you to journal when it’s most useful: if you haven’t created an entry yet, if some fields are still incomplete, or simply when your chosen time arrives.
Choose the days, time, and notification text—for journaling, taking a short pause during the day, or any other moment that matters to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Notice a substitute for therapy?
No. Notice does not provide diagnoses or replace professional help. It is a self-reflection tool that helps you describe your experiences more clearly.
Therapists often recommend keeping a journal as part of therapy, using techniques such as an emotion diary or Situation–Thought–Emotion–Response. That is why we created Notice. You can choose a ready-made technique that works for you or customize the app to suit your needs.

Do I need to write every day?
No. It is best to make an entry when something happens that you want to reflect on. You can turn on reminders if you would like some help building the habit.
Which journal format should I choose?
There is no single right format. Choose Simple Entry for free-form notes or Quick Entry for brief self-reflection covering the situation, emotion, and response.
More detailed templates are useful if you want to explore your thoughts, physical sensations, or behavior in greater depth. If you are already working with a therapist, you can choose a technique they recommend or customize the steps to support your work together.
But you do not have to: you can start on your own and switch formats later.
