Alera is an AI-powered mental-health app built with clinicians that creates personalized weekly therapy plans → Lifetime FREE for the next 48 hours (normally $99.99).

Hey people 🤝

7 years ago, I lost a close friend to depression. That moment changed everything. It pushed me to build something for people who struggle to open up.

I teamed up with psychologists, and since 2020 have been building Alera, a mental-health app designed to make therapy more accessible (read story below).

How can Alera help?

Alera helps your mental health with personalized therapy conversations and a weekly therapy plan. It guides you with tiny audio & chat exercises each day.

• 💬 Therapy Chat → Alera talks like a therapist (we've improved this thanks to your feedback: less repetitions, loops & better memory)
• 🎧 Audio Lessons → Our popular new audio lessons are available to everyone now
• 📅 Weekly therapy plan → Alera creates a 5-day plan that adapts to you weekly
• 💭 Cognitive restructuring → Helps you reframe your mind & thoughts
• 🔒 Private & safe → No account needed, anonymous by design. Voice Mode uses Apple/Android’s native on-device speech recognition (set to local), and we don’t store your audio. We only process the text transcript to generate replies. Our infrastructure is hosted in Frankfurt, Germany, aligned with GDPR, and built with strict access controls (provider-side certifications include standards like ISO/IEC 27001 and BSI C5). Chat data is fully private, not shared, not used for any AI training.
• 🌍 Available worldwide → Trusted in 120+ countries and available in 13+ languages

The therapy plan now has custom audios

Hi, it's me, Finn :)

💬 My Story & Status Quo

I’ve struggled with my own mental health too.

After losing my friend to depression in 2018, I started asking myself why so many people suffer in silence (300 million worldwide), and whether technology could help lower the barrier to getting support...

In Germany alone, people have to wait 4-6 months for therapy..

I started teaching myself how to code, and later wrote my bachelor’s thesis on AI and psychotherapy (master thesis too). Since 2020, I’ve been building Alera together with psychologists and therapists, with one goal: To built a mental health app that makes a difference in this world.

To be honest, this is hard work.

Mental health is sensitive, and building something that can offer meaningful help in a safe and useful way is a real challenge. We’ve worked a lot on chat quality, and we still do every day. We simulate therapy sessions together with our psychologists, test carefully, learn, improve, and repeat. It’s not easy to get right, but we're on it!

What gives me hope is that more than 80% of our users currently say Alera is helpful to them. Of course, we want to make that 90% or 95% over time, but we know this takes patience and a lot of work. And your feedback 🙏

We’ve also recently added Greek (thanks to Maria :)) ), Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese, so we can support more people in their own language. The audio lessons are available to everyone now.

We’re giving this our best every single day. Both to honor my friend and to build something that can help people worldwide.

All the best,

Finn :)
