Mentis is a good fit if…
- One thing is clearly heaviest (sleep, overthinking, a relationship, work) and you want a plan for it.
- You have five to fifteen minutes a day, not an hour.
- You like seeing your mood over time and want to know what moves it.
- You want someone to talk to at odd hours, without judgement.
Another kind of app might suit you better if…
- You mainly want hundreds of meditations and sleep stories to choose from. Try a meditation app (Mentis vs Headspace, Mentis vs Calm).
- You need regular sessions with a therapist. Use a therapy platform or Tele-MANAS.
- You're in crisis. Please call 14416 or 112 now. More help.
Frequently asked questions
What makes Mentis different?
Mentis combines a two-minute daily check-in (your mood as weather), a step-by-step nine-chapter plan for one problem, and an AI companion, Mimi, that notices patterns across your days. Most apps offer one of these, not all three in one daily loop.
Does Mentis have meditations?
Yes. Guided audio such as box breathing, Two Sighs and Winding Down for sleep is one activity type, alongside journaling, short reads, outdoor steps and habits.
Does Mentis offer human therapists?
No. Mentis is a self-help wellness app. If you want sessions with a therapist, use a therapy platform or Tele-MANAS (14416), and use Mentis alongside for the day-to-day.
