I kept showing up to therapy and blanking. The session would end and everything I actually wanted to talk about would come flooding back on the drive home.
So I built Prelude. Free forever. No ads, no in-app purchases. A charity project for the mental health community.
Before your session a voice agent has a conversation with you. Not journaling, not prompts. An actual back and forth that helps you figure out what is really on your mind. Then a second agent generates a structured brief you bring into the room.
My therapist and I browse through it together at the start of each session. Her words were that it improved the quality of our sessions. We had all the topics listed clearly and could just get into it.
There is also a weekly emotional trend graph so you can track how you are doing over time.
The whole thing runs on device. No cloud, no third party APIs, nothing leaves your phone. For something this personal that felt non-negotiable. Pls share with any therapy goers that may need it, I will appreciate some feedback or feature requests. Thanks
