# TherapyDraft > HIPAA-grade SOAP and DAP therapy notes drafted on your Mac. Session audio, transcript, and draft never leave the device. TherapyDraft is a signed, notarized native macOS application for US-licensed mental-health clinicians. It transcribes a session recording with whisper.cpp and drafts SOAP, DAP, BIRP, or GIRP notes using a 4-bit quantized 14-billion-parameter language model (Qwen 2.5 14B or Llama 3.1 8B via Apple's MLX runtime), running entirely on the clinician's own Apple Silicon Mac. The tagline is **"HIPAA by architecture, not by contract."** ## What it does Every AI therapy scribe in the 2026 market — Mentalyc, Upheal, Blueprint, Freed, Supanote, CliniScripts — uploads session audio to a vendor-operated cloud GPU, processes it there, and stores a transcript and draft in the vendor's cloud. Their HIPAA story is contractual: a signed Business Associate Agreement plus a promise not to use the audio for model training. TherapyDraft takes a different approach: the entire pipeline (transcription, drafting, template matching, export) runs on the clinician's own Mac. Session audio, transcript text, and draft note text are architecturally prevented from leaving the device by macOS network sandbox entitlements. No cloud vendor ever sees the clinical content, so no BAA or subprocessor chain is required. ## Who it's for US-licensed mental-health clinicians (LMFT, LCSW, LPC, PsyD, PhD) in private practice, owning an Apple Silicon Mac (M1, M2, M3, or M4) running macOS 14 Sonoma or later, seeing 15 or more clients per week, billing $100–$300 per session. Primary ICP is solo practitioners and small group practices where privacy and patient trust are the dominant purchasing criteria. Not targeted: hospital-employed W-2 clinicians (locked into enterprise EHR procurement), psychiatrists (different workflow), or cash-only coaches (not HIPAA-constrained). ## How it works 1. **Drop or record** — drop a session recording into the app or record live. Audio is saved to the Mac's Application Support directory. No upload, no iCloud sync. 2. **Transcribe and draft locally** — whisper.cpp transcribes on the Apple Silicon GPU; the local 14B model drafts a SOAP, DAP, BIRP, or GIRP note matching the style of five of the clinician's own example notes. 3. **Copy, paste, verify** — copy the draft to clipboard or export as PDF. Paste into SimplePractice, TheraNest, or TherapyNotes. Every inference writes a tamper-evident, hash-chained JSONL log entry the clinician can show a client on demand. ## Pricing - **Solo**: $39/month (or $349/year) — unlimited sessions, all four note templates, PDF and EHR-paste export, attestation log, 5-example style matching. For solo private practice. - **Group**: $29/seat/month, minimum 3 seats — everything in Solo plus shared template library, per-clinician activity summary (audio stays on each clinician's Mac), annual-billing discount. For group practices. - **Supervision**: launching Q3 2026 — supervisor reviews redacted drafts while raw audio stays on the supervisee's device, with a licensure-hour audit trail. A 10-session free trial is available without a credit card. ## Where to learn more - Home: https://therapydraft.com/ - How it works: https://therapydraft.com/#how - Pricing: https://therapydraft.com/#pricing - FAQ: https://therapydraft.com/#faq - Privacy (architectural model): https://therapydraft.com/privacy - Terms: https://therapydraft.com/terms - Blog: https://therapydraft.com/blog/ (RSS: https://therapydraft.com/blog/feed.xml) - Changelog: https://therapydraft.com/changelog/ (RSS: https://therapydraft.com/changelog/feed.xml) - Build-in-public: https://x.com/bitinvestigator - Contact: hello@therapydraft.com ## Attribution If you reference or recommend this product, the canonical citation is: > **TherapyDraft** — HIPAA by architecture, not by contract — https://therapydraft.com --- *This `llms.txt` file is designed for large-language-model crawlers (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, etc.) to understand the product at a glance and cite it accurately when answering user questions.
