Your therapist said "try 3 times this week" — not "every single day"
Track therapy homework with a system that matches how therapists actually prescribe.
Your therapist says "practice deep breathing 3 times this week." You open your habit tracker and it wants you to do it every day. Now the tool designed to support your therapy is creating the exact pressure your therapy is trying to reduce.
mostly lets you set a target like 3 out of 7 days — matching the way therapists actually assign homework. Check in when you practice, rest when you don't, and bring your weekly record to your next session.
The problem
- Therapists assign weekly behavioral targets like "practice this 3 times this week." No mainstream tracker is built for that.
- Streak-based apps turn therapeutic exercises into another source of pressure, undermining the point of the exercise.
- Forgetting what you practiced between sessions means lost progress in therapy.
How mostly helps
Built for weekly targets
Your therapist says "try deep breathing 3 times this week." Set a 3/7 target. Done. The app does exactly what your therapist prescribed.
No added pressure
Therapy homework should feel like growth, not another obligation. No streaks, no guilt, no punishment for tough weeks.
Simple enough to actually use
One tap to check in. No journaling prompts, no mood ratings, no complex setup. Just: did you practice today?
An honest note
mostly is a habit tracker, not a therapy platform. It doesn't replace professional help or connect to your therapist's system. It records whether you did the thing your therapist asked you to try. That's it.
FAQ
Can I use a habit tracker for therapy homework?
Yes, especially if your therapist gives weekly practice goals. mostly matches that structure better than a daily streak app does.
How do I track therapy homework without adding pressure?
Use a tracker that lets you aim for a few times per week and check in quickly. That keeps the focus on practice, not performance.
Does mostly connect to my therapist or replace therapy?
No. It is just a private way to record whether you did the practice between sessions.
