For therapists who aren't comfortable putting client sessions through cloud AI.
Confidant records, transcribes, and writes your SOAP and DAP notes entirely on your own computer. No cloud servers, no data centers, no subscription required.
Free trial — no credit card required.
Why Confidant
Everything Confidant records, transcribes, and writes stays on your computer, using local AI. No cloud storage, no account. You choose how long recordings and transcripts are kept on your computer, or have them deleted the moment they're no longer needed.
Recorded and transcribed on your own machine. The audio never leaves, and is deleted the instant transcription finishes.
Uploaded to their servers to be transcribed. The recording can then be kept, analyzed, or shared.
A local model drafts your SOAP or DAP note on your computer. The transcript is deleted once the note is written.
Your transcript is sent to a cloud LLM, where it can be logged and fed into future model training.
None, at any step. No outside model ever sees a session, so there's nothing to retain, train on, or sell.
The core of the product. Retention, training, and resale of de-identified data run on their terms, not yours.
Hi, I'm Jesse.
“I've been a therapist for 16 years. I wanted faster notes without sending my clients' sessions to the cloud, so I made Confidant.”
What's inside
A running record of every client, on your computer, that helps you walk into each session prepared.
Open a client and see where you left off last time, before they sit down.
An overview of the client's trajectory across every session, generated on demand.
SOAP or DAP, from preset styles or your own prompts. Refine and regenerate until it's right.
Confidant shows how many notes are waiting. Start it between sessions and it clears the queue.
Find a moment or a theme across a client's entire history in seconds.
Face ID or Touch ID to open. Auto-delete recordings and transcripts on your own schedule.

— TIME SAVED, REPORTED BY OUR USERS
That's a Tuesday evening back. A Friday afternoon that ends on time. A weekend that isn't catch-up.
Most therapists in our beta said they finished documentation during the workday for the first time in years. Some said they took on one extra client. Two said they stopped dreading Sundays. They all got to take lunch.

Common questions
It's HIPAA-irrelevant — confirmed with our legal team. Because client data never leaves your device, there's nothing for a BAA to cover. Your existing security practices (a locked computer, FileVault/BitLocker, a strong password) are the whole story.
You can verify it yourself. Run a free network inspector like Charles Proxy while Confidant is recording and generating a note. You'll see local traffic only — no audio, no transcript, nothing sent out. Here's what you'll see →
No. Recording, transcription, and note generation all run locally. You can be on a train, in a coffee shop, or fully off the grid — Confidant works the same.
Those tools send your audio to a cloud server for processing. Confidant doesn't. There's no external server to subpoena, nothing to leak in a breach, no privacy policies that can change how your data is handled, no depersonalized or anonymized data to train future releases or share with “trusted partners.” And you buy it once, not monthly.
Use your normal backup practice (Time Machine, an encrypted external drive). Your notes live in a normal file on disk — you can back them up the way you back up anything else.
Confidant generates finished notes you can copy into SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Jane, or any other EHR. We don't integrate via API, which is the point — your notes never need to leave the app until you decide.
The 14-day trial is free. If you buy and find it doesn't fit your practice within 30 days, email us. We'll refund you.
