A calm place to land
A private mental-health check-in built for teens. Type how you feel — Anchor spots the unhelpful thinking patterns behind it and gently helps you reframe. No account. No internet needed. Nothing ever leaves your phone.
Your check-in
1 · How are you feeling right now?
2 · What's on your mind? Write it like you'd text a friend.
If you're in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, please reach out now. In the US call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). You deserve real support, and asking for it is strong.
Under the hood
Anchor reads what you write, scores its emotional tone, and matches it against eight cognitive distortions from CBT — the same thinking traps therapists help people unlearn. Then it offers a gentler way to see it, plus one small thing you can actually do.
Catches "always / never / everyone" all-or-nothing language, mind-reading, catastrophizing and more — the loops that make a bad moment feel like a whole identity.
A warm, non-preachy question and a kinder thought to try on — never telling you how to feel, just widening the frame a little.
Your mood over the week stays on your device — so you can see the storm pass instead of believing the bad day is forever.
