Featuring Mental Health Check-In Week (May 15–31). Tap the banner on Home to try a validated self-report check-in — PHQ-9, GAD-7, WHO-5, and 34 more — scored automatically with severity bands and tracked over time. Bug fixes and small improvements throughout.

What's new in 2.2.0: • New History and Trends tabs — see every thought and assessment in one timeline, with a 7-day, 30-day, or all-time window and a calendar view for any day • 37 validated self-report assessments — PHQ-9, GAD-7, DASS-21, PCL-5, WHO-5, the DSM-5 Severity Measures, and more, with automatic scoring and severity bands • Encrypted backup & restore in Settings — move Basal to a new phone with a single passphrase-protected file. AES-256-GCM, no servers, no accounts • Bigger, more obvious mic button on the thought input; clear-and-restart button for in-progress thoughts • Swipe to delete in History • Fixed a bug where back-to-back thoughts could overwrite each other • Fixed the daily perspective notification repeating the same quote across days

Voice input — speak your thoughts instead of typing Apple Watch — dictate from your wrist, syncs to your phone Home screen widget — one tap to start, daily quote on the medium size Feelings calendar — see your emotional patterns over time Daily quotes from therapeutic traditions Onboarding flow for new users Deep dive sessions with confirmation and preserved history

Rebuilt from the ground up. Basal 2.0 introduces ten evidence-based therapeutic modalities — from CBT to somatic therapy to existential philosophy — each offering a different lens on what you're going through. New emotion tracking with Yale's RULER framework, refined dark and light modes, and a cleaner thinking experience throughout.

**** Enhanced end-to-end encryption. To enhance privacy and security, we've added the industry standard AES-256 (Advanced Encryption Standard) with 256-bit key to encrypt all your content before it leaves your device. This is in addition to the existing to using encryption via https as it goes over the network to our servers. Now all content is also stored encrypted. The only time it is used unencrypted is when it is processed (without metadata) via OpenAI's LLM models to generate summaries and new prompts. ... and tons of bug fixes and behind-the-scenes optimizations.
