Complete, audit-ready SOAP notes built from point-and-click clinical findings, with eight screeners scored for you. Nothing touches the cloud. One-time license, no subscription, ever.
The last client left an hour ago. The notes didn't. Tomorrow's schedule is already full, so whatever doesn't get written tonight follows you home again.
Stay late finishing notes, again, and inch a little closer to burnout.
Every year, for note tools that want your sessions living on their servers.
Because the documentation never actually ends.
Software that lives on your computer, writes from checkboxes and clinical language you approve, and that you buy once.
12 MSE domains, 40+ interventions, 19 clinical impressions, structured risk fields. Findings are alphabetized chips; “within normal limits” is one click.
PHQ-9, GAD-7, PCL-5, C-SSRS and four more, with full questionnaires scored for you. A positive C-SSRS or PHQ-9 item 9 prompts the risk section.
A complete SOAP note in professional clinical language. Edit anything, copy it into your EHR, or export to Word.
No server, no account, no network connection. Being offline is the design, not a setting.
Impressions are clickable, sentence formation is done for you, and your free-text sections weave into the finished note.
Guardrails catch contradictions, so a note never reads “euthymic and anxious.” What you click is what it says.
Quick end-of-day phrasing becomes clear third-person prose. Client quotes stay word for word.
Structured SI/HI fields, protective factors, access to lethal means. Skip the section and the note asserts nothing. The app never rates overall risk. That determination stays yours.
No client identifiers required, and the app stores nothing. Move the note to your records system and you're ready for the next hour.
AI scribes and cloud EHRs protect your clients' data with policies: encryption promises, BAAs, compliance certifications. All of it depends on someone else's server behaving.
Progress Note Studio removes the server.
The app makes zero network connections. Block it in Windows Firewall, and every feature keeps working.
Nothing to upload, transcribe, or subpoena from a vendor.
The app saves nothing on its own. You decide what leaves the screen.
Same chips, same scoring, same contradiction guard, same generated note as the desktop app. Nothing you click is recorded, just like the app.
Click findings, or mark everything typical in one click. Try selecting “anxious” after “euthymic”: the contradicting finding is deselected automatically, so a note can never contradict itself.
The complete PHQ-9, scored exactly as the app scores it. GAD-7, PCL-5, C-SSRS and four more live inside the app, each answered by radio button and scored for you, with cutoffs interpreted.
PHQ-9: developed by Drs. Spitzer, Williams, Kroenke and colleagues, with an educational grant from Pfizer Inc. No permission required.
Impressions are chips; risk is structured the way auditors read it. Defaults record “not assessed,” so the note never asserts an assessment you did not perform.
40+ interventions in the full app, filtered as you type.
If the note above reads like something you'd sign, the full app works the same way, plus 12 MSE domains, 40+ interventions, all eight auto-scored screeners, and Word export.

Less than three weeks of their bill, and you never pay it again. Because there's nothing to host: no servers, no cloud processing, no per-user infrastructure.
I'm a counselor in Virginia, and I built the documentation tool I couldn't find anywhere: fully offline, no subscription, and designed to lessen the documentation burden without sacrificing quality or integrity.
