Therapy notes that never leave your Mac.

On-device AI turns your rough session notes into clean SOAP, DAP, or BIRP documentation — with no cloud, no account, and nothing sent anywhere.

On-device AI

A real language model runs entirely on your Mac. Drafting a note makes zero network calls.

Informed by past sessions

Notes are written with the client's history in view — recurring themes, the language they use, how they're progressing.

Yours alone

No account, no sync, no telemetry. Your records live in a folder you control and back up yourself.

What it does

Made for the clinical note.

Intake takes a session from rough notes to a signed, exported note. It handles documentation and leaves the rest alone — no scheduling, billing, transcription, or telehealth.

Four formats

SOAP, DAP, BIRP, or freeform — each with its own purpose-built prompt.

Refine by chat

Talk through the note with an on-device assistant before you sign it.

Your voice

Documentation style preferences and starred examples keep notes sounding like you.

Signed history

Each signature is kept as an append-only version — an audit trail you can revisit.

PDF export

Export a single note or a client's full history with clean clinical formatting.

Time Machine ready

Data lives in ~/Documents/Intake and backs up with no special tooling.

How it works

Jot, generate, sign.

1

Jot

Type rough notes during or after the session — no structure required.

2

Generate

Pick a format and let the on-device model draft a structured note in seconds.

3

Sign & export

Edit inline, sign to lock it, and export to PDF when you need a copy.

Privacy

No server ever sees your sessions.

Other AI note tools send what your clients said to someone else's servers. Intake doesn't have servers. The intelligence runs on your machine.

  • No account, no cloud storage, no analytics — nothing is transmitted while you work.
  • The one exception: the AI model downloads once on first use. After that, note generation is fully offline.
  • Encryption is handled by your Mac's FileVault, the same as the rest of your files.

Bring the documentation back in-house.

Download Intake and write your next note without sending a word to the cloud.
