Capture
Write the situation, the thought that showed up, and how strongly you feel it.
Reflect before you believe it.
MiraNote walks you through a thought record in three short stages: catch the thought, find the pattern, write a kinder version.
The thought arrives before you can check it.
One awkward pause in a meeting and the sentence is already there. It feels like a fact. It is not one.
They must think I'm incompetent.
Three stages.
About three minutes.
A thought record, one screen at a time.
Examine
Pick the patterns that fit, then weigh the evidence for and against the thought.
Reframe
Write the balanced version and rate the feeling again to see what shifted.
Nineteen ways a thought can mislead you.
MiraNote names the pattern so you can see the thought for what it is. Five groups, tap any of them.
Thinking in absolutes, where one slip or one bad moment defines the whole picture.
All-or-nothing
Seeing things in two categories only, with no middle ground.
Sounds like
If it's not perfect, it's a failure.
Overgeneralization
Treating one event as proof of a never-ending pattern.
Sounds like
This always happens to me.
Mental filter
Dwelling on a single negative detail until it colours everything.
Sounds like
I only focus on what went wrong.
Disqualifying the positive
Explaining away good outcomes so they never add up.
Sounds like
That went well, but it doesn't count.
Filling gaps with guesses about what others think or what will happen, then treating the guess as fact.
Mind reading
Assuming you know what someone else is thinking, without evidence.
Sounds like
They must think I'm incompetent.
Fortune telling
Predicting a bad outcome and treating the prediction as settled.
Sounds like
I know it's going to go badly.
Catastrophizing
Expecting the worst possible outcome from a setback.
Sounds like
This will ruin everything.
Jumping to conclusions
Reaching a verdict before the facts are in.
Sounds like
I already know how this will end.
Turning outcomes into verdicts about you, or about everyone else.
Personalization
Taking responsibility for things that weren't in your control.
Sounds like
It's all my fault.
Labeling
Turning a single mistake into a permanent identity.
Sounds like
I'm just a failure.
Should statements
Holding yourself to rigid rules and punishing every miss.
Sounds like
I should have known better.
Blaming
Placing all responsibility on others so nothing is yours to change.
Sounds like
It's everyone else's fault.
Letting the size of a feeling decide the size of the truth.
Emotional reasoning
Treating a feeling as evidence that something is true.
Sounds like
I feel stupid, so I must be.
Magnification
Blowing a problem far out of proportion.
Sounds like
This tiny mistake is a disaster.
Minimization
Shrinking your strengths and wins until they seem not to matter.
Sounds like
My success was just luck.
Measuring yourself against everyone else, or holding yourself responsible for things you cannot steer.
Comparison
Measuring yourself against a polished version of other people.
Sounds like
Everyone else has it together but me.
Approval seeking
Making your worth depend on other people's approval.
Sounds like
I need everyone to like me.
Always being right
Treating being wrong as unacceptable, whatever the cost.
Sounds like
I can't be wrong about this.
Control fallacy
Believing you control, or must control, other people's feelings.
Sounds like
I'm responsible for how everyone feels.
Mira Says
Ask Mira which pattern it is.
Mira reads your thought and offers an optional insight. You decide what fits.
- Which patterns are likely, so you can check them against the thought.
- How to get past each one, in plain words.
- An alternative thought written for your exact situation.
- reflect before you believe it
- reflect before you believe it

Is MiraNote a replacement for therapy?
No. MiraNote is a self-help tool built around the thought-record structure used in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). It can sit alongside therapy, and many people use it to bring examined thoughts to their next session, but it is not a clinical service.
Is cognitive reframing the same as positive thinking?
No. Positive thinking tries to replace a bad thought with a good one. Cognitive reframing tries to replace a distorted thought with a more accurate one. The balanced thought is often more hopeful, but it still acknowledges what's hard. "This is a tough week, and I've gotten through tough weeks before" is a reframe. "Everything is great" isn't, especially if part of you doesn't believe it.
What is a thought record?
A thought record is a short CBT exercise. You write down a situation, the automatic thought it triggered, and how strongly you felt it. Then you look at the evidence and write a more balanced version. In MiraNote this takes three stages and about three minutes.
What does Mira, the AI, actually do?
Two optional things. While you pick patterns, Mira can suggest which of the nineteen distortions fit the thought you wrote. After a record, Mira Says explains the pattern, how to get past it, and offers an alternative thought for your exact situation. You always decide what fits.
Is my data private?
Your thought records are stored in your own account on Google Firebase, encrypted in transit, and never sold or shared with other third parties. You can delete your account and every record from inside the app at any time.
Which devices does MiraNote run on?
iPhone running iOS 15 or later and Android phones running Android 8.0 or later. Sign in with email, Google, or Apple, and your entries sync across your devices.
