Feel safer opening up? Ahead gives you total privacy to explore your emotions—your way.
As seen in
Ahead is therapy, reimagined.
Traditional therapy can be life-changing — but it can also be expensive, hard to schedule, and emotionally overwhelming. Ahead offers a new model: AI-guided support that fits into your day, on your terms.
No appointments. No waitlists. No pressure.
You don’t need to wait a week to talk about how you’re feeling. With Ahead, your personalized AI pocket coach is always here to help — whether you're struggling with anxiety, low energy, or just need clarity.
100+ science-backed techniques.
Ahead is built on proven methods like CBT, mindfulness, emotional tracking, and habit-building — delivered through short, effective exercises designed by behavioral scientists.
Therapy costs up to $150 per session. Ahead starts at less than $2/day.
And unlike traditional therapy, you can use Ahead whenever you need it. No pressure to "perform" in a 60-minute session. Just daily, bite-sized support that builds real change.

Ahead app has helped me get ahead with a lot of my thoughts and emotions
I downloaded this app last summer when I was in a really dark place in my life. It has helped me exponentially the last few months and when I’m having a rough go of it I can refer back to the modules I’ve completed to help get my head in the right space and continue to move forward and work on personal growth.

A companion app
Love this app and I never write reviews. For once in a long time I feel there’s hope with procrastination. Instead of finding motivation in external favors I go to Ahead and get some insights and feel I can do it myself. Plus it’s aesthetically pleasing and calming.

Exactly what I need
This app is amazing- it works so well in my busy schedule. The daily lessons provide great food for my brain for the day, they contain helpful activities, and they always reference additional sources that I can look up/read/watch if I have more time that day. Using this app has become my brain’s morning breakfast routine, helping me to frame and understand why I feel and respond the ways that I do in given situations.

Actually Works
This is everything that was missing from my therapy. I actually have a direction with what I’m working on. This app helps you learn while capturing what happened and how you feel. I have signed up for many free trials for apps and then canceled at the end of the free trial because I never used it or it didn’t work for me. I am going to pay for the year subscription once my trial is done.
