Counsel: Life Advice & Coach
Mentors from history weigh in
Only for iPhone
Free · In‑App Purchases
iPhone
New in 1.4: rehearse a hard talk before you have it, short coached practices on your own situation, and a journal that keeps your notes, steps and answers together.
Counsel helps you think through a real decision and leave with one next step. Ask a council of history's great minds, rehearse a hard conversation before you have it, practice a skill on your own situation, and keep what you learn in one journal.
HOW IT WORKS
- Say what's on your mind, in your own words.
- A council of mentors from history gives their view, or choose a practical approach.
- Read the answer, or tap the headphones to hear it.
- Leave with one small step to try. Counsel checks in on how it went.
NEW: REHEARSE A HARD TALK
- Asking for a raise, setting a limit, saying no: practice it before it happens.
- Say your part, and Counsel plays the other person.
- Your mentor gives you a hint when you're stuck. At the end, see which of your lines worked and an opening to use.
- Your first rehearsal is free.
NEW: COACHED PRACTICE
- Short exercises on your own situation, about five minutes each.
- Separate facts from guesses, decide who really decides, find your first sentence.
- A mentor replies to each answer as you go.
- Your first one is free.
NEW: MAKE A GUESS, SEE WHAT HAPPENED
- Before you try a step, note what you think will happen.
- When you check in, Counsel shows your guess next to what really happened.
NEW: ONE JOURNAL
- Your notes, steps, answers and practices, in one place.
- Write notes with headings, bold and lists. Turn any line into a step.
- Search and filter everything you've kept.
NEW: YOUR FIRST WEEK
- A short path through what Counsel can do, one small thing a day.
ASK MENTORS FROM HISTORY
- A council of three to five mentors looks at your situation, each in their own way.
- Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Sun Tzu, Cleopatra, Machiavelli, Lao Tzu, Buddha, Eleanor Roosevelt, Lincoln and others.
OR USE A PRACTICAL APPROACH
- Power & influence, courage & uncertainty, difficult conversations, long-term strategy, clear thinking.
- You usually get two options and what each one costs you.
LEAVE WITH ONE NEXT STEP
- Every answer ends with one concrete step. Reword it so it sounds like you, or write your own.
- Set a reminder so it does not slip, then note how it went.
LISTEN TO ANY ANSWER
- Tap the headphones to hear the answer read aloud. The text follows along.
- The voice downloads once and then runs on your iPhone, while Counsel is open.
WHAT IS FREE
Today's situation (a new one each weekday), your first rehearsal, your first coached practice, next steps you write yourself (with reminders and check-ins), the journal and the Library are free. A new install can ask one question and read one mentor's full answer. Answers from your full council or an approach, more rehearsals and practices, and listening need a subscription.
YOUR DATA
Counsel saves your consultations and journal on your iPhone. It sends what you write to an AI service only when you ask for an answer, a rehearsal or a practice reply. You can export or delete your data in Settings.
SUBSCRIPTIONS
Counsel offers weekly, monthly, and annual auto-renewing subscriptions with the same subscription access. Prices and any eligible introductory offers are shown before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation, or when an applicable free trial ends. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings.
ABOUT THE ANSWERS
AI writes the answers. The mentors draw on figures from history. They are not the people themselves. AI can get things wrong, so use your own judgment. Counsel is for reflection. It is not therapy, and it is not medical, legal or financial advice. It is not for emergencies. If what you write sounds like a crisis, Counsel shows you crisis support first.
