Description
AltoThought is a tool that helps you write down your negative thoughts and apply nuance to them by writing an alternative thought next to it.
I wrote this tool to help myself get through cognitive behavioral therapy, let this app also help you with your thought process.
How it works:
You write down your first thought, which can be anything, and you set your feelings. After you did this you go to the Alternative tab to try and fill out an alternative way of thinking of the specific thing you were thinking about. This can help nuance some thought tendencies.
After having written down your thoughts you can see some statistics which could show you how much your feelings can change by alternatively thinking about it.
What’s New
Version 3.1
New in AltoThought 3.1:
- Panic Plan now has a step-by-step viewer by default. You can always tap the Edit button in the top of the screen to make changes to your plan.
- Bug fixes
Hope you like the new stuff,

Ratings and Reviews
Nearing Closer to Perfect
Raised my rating because I really hate to see such a low rating on such a potentially great app. I also really appreciate the prompt response from the dev. And, when I went to record the issues on my iPhone, it didn’t happen. My original issue was on my iPad (which I would prefer to use for this type of thing). I will record the issue on that device and send it as soon as I’m able. And I’ll come back and edit my review/raise the rating once this problem is fixed. 🙂

Crash
Just made a huge breakthrough. My first time trying this even though I’ve known for a while I need to do it. Went through every single step, hit save, app crashed, and everything is gone. Every time I push save, the whole app crashes. I do want to add that if this is fixed, this is at least a 4 star app. But currently it’s unusable unless you’re okay with not saving your thoughts.
Developer Response ,
Update:
Are you on iOS 18? I just saw that the app crashed on iOS 17 but that doesn’t happen on 18.
Ah so it doesn’t happen all the time? That’s interesting. I think I know what’s causing the issue, it’s likely storage related. I still haven’t been able to reproduce it, but if you DM me on Twitter we can maybe setup a FaceTime call to talk about it? Sometimes e-mails don’t really arrive at all. You can also find me on Mastadon or BlueSky: Frank Solleveld

Congrats on your breakthrough! That’s awesome 😄 I’m sorry you can’t save your thoughts, that’s weird. I haven’t been able to reproduce it. Can you send me an e-mail with a screen recording? It doesn’t have to be a real thought, just some random letters inside the thought fields. In the Settings there’s contact options you can use. Hope to hear from you soon.
