Finch's official site presents a self-care app built around caring for a virtual companion.
| Decision | Groundwork | Finch |
|---|---|---|
| Interaction style | Written journal and structured reflection, per listing | A virtual self-care companion |
| What to evaluate | Whether thought records and check-ins suit your reflection | Whether a character-centered interaction keeps you engaged |
| Clinical boundary | The listing says the app is not therapy | A self-care product description does not establish individual treatment |
Choose by the interaction you find usable rather than implying one presentation is a clinical treatment. Groundwork's listing describes written CBT-style structure and device-local entries, while Finch's official presentation centers on a companion. The NHS describes CBT as a talking therapy involving a therapist; an independent worksheet or app comparison does not show equivalent care. Review privacy and current terms directly for either product.
Comparison based on current official descriptions, not hands-on testing of the competing product. Prices, subscription eligibility and feature availability can change.
A value is easier to act on when you can name a small next step. Write what matters in the situation, list actions and their constraints, and compare their entered durations with the time you have. The worksheet helps you organize your own decision without evaluating your mental health.
The time check is simple arithmetic. It cannot tell whether an action is psychologically helpful, physically suitable or feasible in your circumstances. Entries remain in this page until you download them; there is no automatic save or human monitoring.
Inputs are processed in this page. Nothing is submitted to the app or a business. Download a result to keep it; this page does not automatically save your work.
This worksheet supports reflection; it cannot diagnose or treat a condition and is not monitored by a person. It does not produce automated psychological judgments. Browser extensions or a shared device may be able to access text on a page.
