Everything you record stays on your phone

Your mood check-ins, safety plan, medication log, and symptom history are stored only on your own device — never on our servers. Not because we promise not to look, but because we structurally cannot: it never leaves your phone. Read our Privacy Policy →

What's inside

Everything in one place, built around your day

📚

Knowledge Hub

Plain-language guides to depression, anxiety, and related conditions — drawn from vetted South African and international sources. Always free, no account needed.

Daily check-in

A short daily wellbeing and mood check-in — honest questions, no jargon. Scores are tracked over time so you and your treating team can see patterns.

😴

Health log

Sleep, mood, and a daily self-care checklist. Small, trackable wins — and a record that speaks for you when words are hard to find in a clinical appointment.

💊

Medication & appointment radar

Log your medications and upcoming appointments. Missed doses show up clearly in your combined report — useful context for any clinician reviewing your progress.

🛡️

Safety plan

Your own warning signs and coping steps, written by you and kept on your device. Always one tap away — even without a connection.

👥

Next-of-kin check-in

A short questionnaire for a partner or parent to complete on your device — an outside view, always visible to you, never sent anywhere separately.

📋

My history

A one-screen summary for any clinician meeting you for the first time — diagnoses, hospitalisations, medication allergies, and care team contacts.

📊

Combined report

A printable chart of your wellbeing, mood, sleep, and medication adherence — generated on your device, for your treating team. Not a diagnosis.

🗂️

Therapist directory

Verified South African mental health helplines and organisations — always free, always accessible, no account required.

If things feel urgent right now

MentalHealth Companion is not a crisis service. If you or someone you know is at risk, please reach out to one of these services directly:

SADAG Suicide Crisis Helpline — 0800 567 567 (24-hour, toll-free) Cipla Mental Health Helpline — 0800 456 789 (24-hour, toll-free) Emergency services — 112 or go to your nearest emergency department

The app also surfaces these numbers directly if it detects a response that suggests you may be at risk — all on your device, nothing transmitted to us.
