I've been pushing myself hard this week
and I'm starting to feel like nothing
I do is enough. Even when I check things
off, the relief lasts about a minute.

How was my week?
You reflected on 5 of 7 days. "Work" came up most. Your mood lifted noticeably on the day you walked outside.
What pattern do I keep falling into?
All-or-nothing thinking, three times this month — usually on Sunday evenings.

Privacy
Built on a privacy-first stack. Audio is processed to transcribe and analyze — never sold, never used to train third-party models without your explicit opt-in.
Why we built it
"The most useful reflection is the one that answers back."
— MINDECHO TEAM
Rooted in
Traditions you can trace.
MindEcho doesn't invent its voice — it borrows, carefully, from four clinical traditions with peer-reviewed roots. The traditions shape how the AI listens. They are not delivered here as treatment.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
The distortion vocabulary MindEcho uses — catastrophizing, mind reading, all-or-nothing thinking — comes from CBT. The AI names the pattern as a movement of the mind, never as an identity claim.
Beck, A.T. (1979). Cognitive Therapy and the Emotional Disorders. International Universities Press.
Person-Centered Approach
From Carl Rogers we take the default posture: unconditional positive regard. The AI does not judge, does not prescribe, and does not position itself above you.
Rogers, C.R. (1961). On Becoming a Person. Houghton Mifflin.
Logotherapy
Viktor Frankl's reminder that suffering with meaning is bearable in a way suffering without meaning is not. When the moment calls for it, the AI points at the meaning you are already pursuing — it never manufactures one for you.
Frankl, V.E. (1946 / 2006). Man's Search for Meaning. Beacon Press.
Self-Compassion
Kristin Neff's three components — self-kindness, common humanity, mindful naming — soften the voice at high distress. You experience them as warmth, not as technique.
Neff, K. (2003). "Self-compassion: An alternative conceptualization of a healthy attitude toward oneself." Self and Identity, 2(2), 85–101.
A note on care
MindEcho is a self-reflection tool. It is not a medical device and not a substitute for professional mental health care. The traditions named above shape the AI's voice and posture — MindEcho does not deliver them as treatment. If you are in crisis, please reach out to a local helpline — there is a one-tap shortcut to the right number for your region inside the app.

Privacy Policy
Effective date: 10 May 2026Plain-English summary
MindEcho is built so the most sensitive thing — your inner voice — stays yours. We process your audio and text to generate the mood, tone, and pattern insights you see in the app. We do not sell your data. We do not use your reflections to train third-party AI models. The only personal account we know you by is an anonymous Firebase identifier — we don't ask for your name or email.
What we collect
- Anonymous user identifier — automatically generated by Firebase. Used to scope your subscription and AI usage limits to your device. We never see your name, email, or phone number.
- Voice recordings you choose to submit for analysis. Sent securely to the AI provider, then discarded after processing — see "AI processing disclosure" below.
- Text entries you type or that we transcribe from your voice.
- AI-generated analysis — mood, tone, thinking-pattern label, coach feedback, suggested actions. Stored on your device using Apple's SwiftData. Optionally synced via your private iCloud account.
- Token-usage counters — how many AI requests you've made this month, so we can apply fair-use limits. Stored in Firebase under your anonymous identifier. No content, just counts.
- Subscription status from the Apple App Store, via RevenueCat. Used to unlock Pro features.
- Ad interaction data — whether an ad was shown, viewed, or (for opt-in rewarded ads) completed. MindEcho shows non-personalized ads to free users (small native ads in the Reflections list and Insights, plus optional rewarded ads you choose to watch); MindEcho Pro removes all ads. No advertising profile is built and no cross-app tracking is used.
- Crash and performance metrics — anonymized, aggregated, used to fix bugs.
How we use it
We use the information above only to provide the core service: AI analysis of your entries, sync across your devices via your private iCloud, charts and weekly summaries, the in-app chat with your reflection history, and to detect abuse and crashes. We do not use your reflections for advertising or for training any AI model.
AI processing disclosure
Transcription and analysis are performed by Google Gemini, operated by Google LLC, accessed via Firebase Cloud Functions on your behalf. Audio and text are transmitted securely (TLS 1.2+) to Google for processing. Per the Gemini API terms of service, your content is not retained by Google for training, and is processed only to return the result to your device. You can review Google's API privacy practices at ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms and policies.google.com/privacy.
Sharing
We share data with: Apple for App Store payments and subscription management; Firebase / Google Cloud for backend functions, anonymous authentication, and the token-usage counter; RevenueCat, Inc. for cross-device subscription state; Google AdMob for non-personalized ads shown to free users (small native ads in the Reflections list and Insights, plus optional rewarded ads you choose to watch); and Google Gemini for the AI analysis described above. We do not sell personal data. We do not share data for cross-context behavioral advertising. Ads shown in MindEcho are non-personalized — we deliberately don't enable ad profiling.
Storage and security
All data in transit is encrypted with TLS 1.2 or higher. Your reflections live primarily on your device, in Apple's SwiftData store. If you enable iCloud sync (the default), entries are stored using Apple's iCloud encryption under your Apple ID. Where you have enabled Apple's Advanced Data Protection, that storage is end-to-end encrypted. Server-side, only your anonymous identifier and usage counters are stored — never your reflection content. Account deletion (Settings → Delete Account) erases server-side records within 30 days; backups are aged out within 90 days.
Your rights
- Access & export — Settings → Export Reflections (PDF, Excel, Markdown, or JSON).
- Delete — Settings → Clear All Data, or Settings → Delete Account (which also calls our `deleteUserData` function to erase server-side records).
- Portability — your export is human- and machine-readable.
- Withdraw consent — Settings → Data & Privacy → Review Data Practices, where you can disable optional engagement features and revoke consent. App-wide deletion is one tap away.
- EU / UK (GDPR) — rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, and the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority.
- California (CCPA / CPRA) — right to know, right to delete, right to correct, right to limit use of sensitive personal information, right to non-discrimination. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under CPRA.
- Brazil (LGPD) — equivalent rights of confirmation, access, correction, anonymization, portability, deletion, information about sharing, and revocation of consent.
Children
MindEcho is not directed to children under 13 (16 in the EEA where local law sets that age). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children below those ages. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us at xaesionai@gmail.com and we will delete it.
International transfers
Data may be processed in the United States and other countries where our service providers operate. Where required, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (EU / UK) and equivalent mechanisms.
Changes to this policy
We will post changes here and update the effective date at the top. Material changes will receive an in-app notice before they take effect.
Contact
Privacy questions and data requests: xaesionai@gmail.com. We acknowledge data-rights requests within 30 days.
Terms of Service
Effective date: 10 May 20261. Acceptance
By downloading, installing, or using MindEcho (the "Service") on Apple iOS, you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service. These Terms apply between you and the developer of MindEcho ("we", "us"). MindEcho is currently distributed only via the Apple App Store.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old (16 in the European Economic Area where local law sets that age) and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract.
3. License
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to install and use MindEcho on devices you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use.
4. Your content
You own everything you record or write into MindEcho. You grant us a limited license to your content solely to operate the Service for you — to transcribe, analyze, store on your device, sync via your private iCloud account, generate insights, and display the content back to you. We will not use your reflections to train any AI model, ours or third party. The AI provider (Google Gemini) processes your content under a contract that prohibits training on it; see the Privacy Policy for details.
5. Acceptable use
- No unlawful, harassing, defamatory, or infringing content.
- No reverse engineering, decompiling, or attempting to extract source code.
- No automated scraping, denial-of-service, or unauthorized API access.
- You may not use MindEcho to provide a service to third parties.
6. Subscriptions and billing
MindEcho Pro subscriptions are sold via Apple's App Store. Your subscription auto-renews at the then-current App Store price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in iOS Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription. Free trials, where offered, automatically convert to a paid subscription unless cancelled before the trial ends. Current prices are shown in the App Store before you confirm.
7. Refunds
All purchases are processed by Apple. Refund requests are handled by Apple per its published policies (reportaproblem.apple.com). We do not process refunds directly.
8. Not medical advice
MindEcho is a self-understanding and personal-growth tool. It is not a medical device, not a diagnosis, not therapy, and not a substitute for professional mental-health care. If you are in crisis, please contact your local emergency services or a crisis line — examples: 988 (US), 116 123 (UK Samaritans), 182 (Türkiye), 112 (EU emergency), or Befrienders Worldwide. There's a one-tap shortcut to a localized helpline in Settings → If you're in crisis.
9. AI disclaimer
Insights, mood labels, thinking-pattern labels, coach text, and actionable steps are generated by AI. They may be inaccurate, incomplete, or biased, and should not be relied on for any decision with material consequences. Always seek qualified professional advice for medical, legal, financial, or safety matters.
10. Disclaimer of warranties
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including without limitation merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
11. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenues, data, or goodwill arising out of or in connection with the Service. Our total aggregate liability for direct damages shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) US $50. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law (for example, gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or statutory consumer rights in your jurisdiction).
12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim arising out of your use of the Service, your content, or your breach of these Terms.
13. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access for breach of these Terms. You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time from Settings → Delete Account, which also erases your server-side records.
14. Governing law and dispute resolution
These Terms are governed by the law of the country where you have your habitual residence, except that if you are a consumer with mandatory protections in your jurisdiction, those mandatory protections continue to apply. EU consumers may bring proceedings in the courts of the EU member state where they reside, and may also use the European Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
15. Apple-specific terms (EULA)
If you obtained MindEcho on iOS, the following applies between you and Apple Inc.: these Terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for MindEcho or its content. To the extent these Terms differ from Apple's standard EULA, those Apple terms govern your iOS use of MindEcho. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
16. Changes
We may update these Terms. Material changes will be notified in-app and on this page, with an updated effective date. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
