Every prompt, every visualization, every nudge in Your Business is reviewed by a 12-person clinical advisory board, audited annually, and benchmarked against published research on mood-tracking and adjunctive digital tools.
Our advisors are practicing clinicians and academic researchers — not paid influencers. They review every release before it ships.

Mood-tracking apps are not therapy. The research is clear: they're most useful as a between-session tool, used briefly and consistently. Here's the work that shaped our design.
A 6-month observational study of 1,400 users found that participants who completed at least four check-ins per week reported a meaningful reduction in PHQ-9 score versus matched controls — but the effect was dose-dependent and reversed at >2 minutes per session.
Patients in active CBT who used a structured between-session mood log reported faster progress on therapy goals — but only when the tool was paired with in-session review. Your Business's "share-with-therapist" feature is built on this finding.
Users who failed a streak in a popular mood app reported elevated self-criticism scores at 30 days. We removed streaks from Your Business after reading this paper. We've never put them back.
Co-authored with our chief privacy researcher. Demonstrates that end-to-end encrypted journaling produces meaningfully longer and more candid entries than server-readable equivalents.
Your Business is HIPAA-aware, end-to-end encrypted, and built on a principle our security lead repeats every Monday: "the most private database is the one we don't have." Your journals never leave your device unencrypted. Even our team can't read them.
