Client Log for Therapists

The problem

Many therapists keep client notes across notebooks, Word files, or cloud tools that were never designed for private session tracking.

CRMs feel excessive. Medical software feels heavy. And cloud-based tools introduce concerns about data ownership, long-term access, and privacy.

Why the cloud can be an issue

Even when compliant, cloud tools require accounts, syncing, updates, and trust in third-party infrastructure.

For some practitioners, especially those working solo, this creates friction where there should be calm and simplicity.

Why local-first matters

A local-first tool keeps client notes entirely on the therapist’s device. No accounts. No servers. No background syncing.

The data belongs to the practitioner — and stays under their control.

How Client Log helps

Client Log is designed as a simple client journal:

• One client, one timeline of notes
• Simple client statuses (active, waiting, archived)
• Optional exports for printing or archiving
• No analytics, no tracking, no cloud

It is not a practice management system. It is a quiet place to write and remember.

What it does not do

• No cloud sync across devices
• No shared team workspace
• No patient portal
• No billing, scheduling, or practice management

Client Log is a private notebook. It is not medical software and does not claim compliance with any specific regulation. You are responsible for ensuring your workflow meets your professional obligations.

Status

Client Log is currently being prepared for iOS and Android.

Designed for solo practitioners working with a small number of clients.
