Reframe
Observe and reframe your thoughts

Problem
Cognitive reframing is evidence-based. The tools for it aren't.
Reframe is a focused PWA for one job: take a difficult feeling, identify the cognitive distortion, and rewrite the thought. Five steps, measurable before/after.
Start with the feeling
Rate the intensity. Name the emotion. This isn't a journal — it's a structured protocol from CBT, simplified into five taps.
Identify the distortion
All-or-nothing thinking? Catastrophizing? Mind reading? Select the pattern — then see what a reframe could look like.
Rewrite and measure
Write the reframed thought. Rate the intensity again. The before/after delta is the evidence that the exercise worked.

What I’d revisit
The linear flow works for single episodes but doesn't help with recurring patterns. Needs a history view showing which distortions appear most — turning isolated exercises into longitudinal insight.
