No — and we don't want it to be. Mentat is the everyday in-between: somewhere to land between sessions, between feelings. If you're in crisis or need clinical care, please reach out to a licensed therapist or psychologist.

Your thoughts are sacred — we treat them that way. Mentat uses end-to-end encryption for every conversation and journal entry. Nothing is shared, nothing is sold, nothing is tracked. The only person who sees what you write is you.

Then keep them yours alone. Mentat's journal is private, encrypted, and judgment-free — a soft place to write what you need to write, with no one reading over your shoulder.

ChatGPT is a great generalist; Mentat is built for one thing — being there for your mental well-being. That means CBT-based exercises, structured mood tracking, instant stress relief, and support that learns your patterns over time. Your conversations and journal entries stay end-to-end encrypted, too — privacy that general AI chatbots can't guarantee.

Small, evidence-based steps that fit a coffee break. Mentat is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and tested stress-management strategies — so what you're doing has real research behind it, not guesswork.

Yes. The built-in mood tracker lets you log how you're feeling each day — and over time you can spot patterns, catch triggers early, and actually see your mental health move.

Yes. Burnout doesn't show up all at once, and neither does the way back. Mentat offers personalized guidance, breathing exercises, and stress-relief techniques designed to help you catch the early signs and find your footing again.

Not generic advice — yours. Mentat learns your patterns: your stresses, your wins, the time of day you tend to crash. Coping strategies and check-ins adapt to where you actually are, not where some average user is.

Yes — start free, no card needed. Free tools include mood tracking, mindfulness exercises, and instant stress relief. There's a premium tier if you want deeper insights and more advanced AI-guided support, but you'll get plenty out of the free version.
