Why Confidant
Everything Confidant records, transcribes, and writes stays on your computer, using local AI. No cloud storage, no account. You choose how long recordings and transcripts are kept on your computer, or have them deleted the moment they're no longer needed.
Recorded and transcribed on your own machine. The audio is encrypted, never leaves your computer, and is deleted instantly after transcription finishes.
Uploaded to their servers to be transcribed. The recording can then be kept, analyzed, or shared.
A local model drafts your SOAP, DAP, or BIRP note. Your note is encrypted, and the transcript is deleted once the note is done.
Your transcript is sent to a cloud LLM, where it can be logged and fed into future model training.
Thanks to local AI, no outside company (including us) or data center ever sees a session, so there's nothing to retain, train on, or sell.
The core of the product. Retention, training, and even resale of de-identified data can happen on their terms, not yours.

Hi, I'm Jesse.
“I've been a therapist for 16 years. I wanted faster notes without sending my clients' sessions to the cloud, so I made Confidant.”
Common questions
It's HIPAA-irrelevant, confirmed with our legal team. Because client data never leaves your device, there's nothing for a BAA to cover. Your existing security practices (a locked computer, FileVault/BitLocker, a strong password) are the whole story.
You can verify it yourself. Run a free network inspector like Charles Proxy while Confidant is recording and generating a note. You'll see local traffic only: no audio, no transcript, nothing sent out. Here's what you'll see →
No. It never reaches us, so there's nothing for us to see, store, or hand over.
No. Recording, transcription, and note generation all run locally. You can be on a train, in a coffee shop, or fully off the grid. Confidant works the same.
Those tools send your sessions to their servers, and their privacy policy decides what happens next. That can include using de-identified session data to train AI or sharing it with partners, and policies can change. Confidant has no servers at all, so there's nowhere for a session to go. And you can subscribe or buy it once, with unlimited notes either way.
Use your normal backup practice (Time Machine, an encrypted external drive). Your notes live in a normal file on disk. You can back them up the way you back up anything else.
Confidant generates finished notes you can copy into SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Jane, or any other EHR. We don't integrate via API, which is the point: your notes never need to leave the app until you decide.
The 14-day trial is free. If you buy and find it doesn't fit your practice within 30 days, email us. We'll refund you.
