What is Mental Detox
Mental Detox is an AI-powered emotional journaling app that provides personalized psychological support through real conversations. It's not a chatbot with scripted responses — each of the AI assistants is trained on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts to your unique emotional state.
Write about what's bothering you, and receive structured, empathetic guidance grounded in real psychology — from managing daily stress to navigating burnout, anxiety, and sleep issues.
Key Features
Specialized assistants for Stress, Anxiety, Burnout, and Sleep — each trained with different therapeutic approaches tailored to your concern.
Track your emotions daily. The app analyzes patterns over time and provides personalized weekly insights about your emotional health.
A 10-day structured program that helps you stay focused on your main life goal and build consistent progress habits.
A 21-day guided program to develop awareness of your own thinking patterns — a core skill in metacognitive therapy.

Speak instead of type. Voice input is available across all assistants, making it easier to express yourself when typing feels like too much.
How it works
Pick the assistant that matches what you're going through — stress, anxiety, burnout, or sleep difficulties.
Type or speak freely about your feelings. The AI reads your emotional context and responds with empathy and understanding.
Receive step-by-step guidance through 24+ evidence-based techniques — from breathing exercises to cognitive reframing. New techniques are continually added and refined. Real psychology, not just meditations.
Log emotions daily and watch your patterns over time. Weekly AI-generated analysis helps you see real progress.
With daily emotion logging and weekly AI analysis, you'll have enough data to see meaningful patterns within your first month — all within the free trial period.
Evidence-based approach
Every technique in Mental Detox is grounded in peer-reviewed research. The app draws from five major therapeutic frameworks:
Identifying and restructuring negative thought patterns that fuel anxiety and depression.
Emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills.
Psychological flexibility through acceptance, mindfulness, and values-based action.
Present-moment awareness techniques that reduce rumination and chronic stress responses.
Developing awareness and control over the thinking processes that maintain emotional distress.
About the founder
My name is Andriy Rukhlyadko. I'm a Ukrainian veteran of the Russo-Ukrainian war who came to Canada after sustaining a disability. I studied nursing in college and psychology at university, and I experienced firsthand how stress and trauma affect both mind and body.
I built Mental Detox entirely on my own — coding every feature during evenings and weekends while working factory shifts in Canada to self-fund the project. No team, no investors, no outside help. Over a year and a half of work went into making this app.
After healing from my own trauma, I saw the shortage of professional psychologists — long wait times, limited availability, high costs. So I built a tool based on my personal experience and education.
I believe everyone deserves access to quality psychological support, regardless of where they live or what they can afford. That's why Mental Detox is free for all Ukrainian residents — for my compatriots and for people in a country enduring Russian aggression and terror.
