# Welcome to Noodle

> A private journal and gentle AI companion for everyday mental health.

Noodle is a private, everyday mental health app. Talk things through with **Noo**, write in your journal, or check in — without streaks, scores, or productivity pressure.

Untangle your thoughts. Keep your inner world yours.

<Note>
  Noodle is a companion, not a clinician. It does not diagnose, treat, or replace therapy. If you are in crisis, see [Crisis & getting real help](/help/crisis).
