Does Helpy replace therapy?+
No. Helpy is a self-help tool. It supports you every day and works great alongside therapy, but it doesn't replace a professional and isn't meant for emergencies.
Does this actually work?+
It's built on CBT, DBT, and ACT — well-researched approaches that help with anxiety, sleep, and stress. Helpy turns them into short daily practices, and doing them regularly is what makes the difference.
What is a CBT thought record, and how does it help?+
You jot down the situation, your thoughts, and your feelings, and Helpy helps you spot the thinking trap and land on a more balanced thought. Over time it becomes a skill that sticks with you, even without the app.
Does Helpy help with panic attacks?+
Yes — there are short grounding and breathing skills that help in the moment. But if your attacks are severe or frequent, it's important to talk to a professional. Helpy doesn't replace one.
Are my entries private?+
Your entries and AI conversations are encrypted in transit and at rest. You decide whether to keep them, and you can delete an entry or your whole journal anytime.
How much does it cost?+
You can start for free. Full access is a one-time $29 — no subscription, ever.
Which devices does it work on?+
In your browser, plus the iOS and Android apps. Your progress syncs across devices.
