Visit opengnothia.com ↗What is OpenGnothia?
OpenGnothia is a desktop application that provides AI-assisted therapy support using your own Claude API key. Designed for self-reflection rather than replacing professional therapy, it remembers your sessions, tracks patterns across conversations, and maintains all data locally on your device with no backend or account required.
The app includes six therapeutic approaches (psychoanalysis, CBT, schema therapy, logotherapy, and others), mood tracking with calendar and trend views, a journal with dream analysis, breathing exercises, and weekly summaries that connect your sessions, journal entries, and mood data. The maker built it with Claude Code as a daily self-reflection tool to complement ongoing therapy.
