in your own way.

Start in 5 minutes

1. Open Aneligma in your browser. On first use, create and confirm a password of at least 12 characters. Keep it safe: forgotten passwords cannot be recovered.
2. From Home, choose Client records → + New client. Enter a fictional name and a client code if useful.
3. Select + New session, check the date and write a brief note.
4. Select Record session and check that it appears in the session notes.
5. Choose Tools → Export data. Keep the .aneligma file and its password.

Your workspace

Select Aneligma at the top to return Home. Find client records, the financial overview and your workspace with backups, defaults, dictation and the Bin.

Within records, search by name or code and filter active or inactive clients. The section menu opens history, treatment plans, sessions and the other parts of a record.

On mobile, swipe the section menu horizontally to see more options. The active section is marked with a soft background colour. Tools is at the top right.

After scrolling down, the ↑ button appears at the bottom right. Select it to return to the top.

Details & history

Use Details & personal history for contact information, occupation, therapy start, referral, presenting concern and personal history. Complete only what you need.

Family history is organised into Summary, Family of origin, Relationships, Events, Health, Current dynamics and Notes. Health here concerns family members; the client’s own health history belongs in personal history.

Under Events, add a category, date and description. If the exact date is unknown, describe the period in the text. Earlier overlapping family information has been moved into family history without discarding its text.

A note in 2–3 minutes

1. Open + New session and check the date.
2. Record themes and interventions, observations and response, and next steps.
3. Choose Add to next session topics to carry the next steps into open topics. Topics stay open until marked complete.
4. If needed, add goal links, reflection or a charge, then select Record session.

To correct a previous session, open its notes, select Edit and record it again. Earlier versions remain in the change history. Editing does not create a second charge.

Goals & case formulation

In the Treatment plan, write the main aim and add individual goals. Set priority, status, time horizon, review dates, progress indicators and barriers. Add measurements or reviews when useful.

Case formulation holds your evolving understanding. Update it as new material emerges and consult earlier versions when needed.

The Therapy journey brings the entries together. Name a connection and select at least two sources: history, formulation, goals or sessions. Connections refer to the current source content. The app does not generate clinical interpretations or treatment plans using AI.

Supervision & reflection

In Supervision, record your question, difficulties, what you have tried, what you need, any ethics or risk issue, and the proposed action after supervision.

Therapist reflection within a session covers your own reactions, thoughts and needs. All these fields can be left blank.

These sources are shown in the therapy journey only when you select the relevant option. Printing also requires explicitly including supervision or reflection. These are visibility choices within your own workspace, not separate access accounts.

Make it your own

Use Session fields to change titles, toggle visibility and add fields. Changes apply to future new notes; existing drafts and saved sessions keep their structure.

Choose Use as default for new clients to reuse the structure in new records. Your workspace also contains defaults for case formulation and personal history.

Charges, payments & advance credit

Open Charges & payments in a client record. Choose Charge, Payment or Advance payment, enter the amount and date, and record the entry. The session fee helps populate new session charges.

A new session can have no financial entry, an unpaid charge, a charge and payment, or a charge against advance credit. Do not add the same charge again manually.

Cards show amount due and available advance credit separately. Date filters change period charges/payments; balances include all activity. The global overview does not offset one client’s credit against another’s debt. Records in the Bin are excluded.

To correct an entry, select Void and enter a reason. It remains in history but no longer counts towards the balance. Session packages, online payment collection and tax invoices are not included.

Documents & printing

Add attachments in Documents, up to 5 MB each and 10 MB in total. They are stored inside the encrypted vault.

File preview includes completed clinical sections and recorded sessions. Drafts, earlier revisions, attachments and financial entries are excluded. Supervision and reflection are included only if selected.

Select Print / save PDF and use your browser’s print dialog. Exported PDFs and downloaded attachments are outside the app’s encryption.

Saving, backup & transfer

Changes are saved automatically and encrypted in this browser. Check the save status at the bottom. After 5 minutes of inactivity, the app locks; you can also choose Tools → Save & lock.

1. Choose Tools → Export data to download an .aneligma file.
2. To move to another device or browser, open Aneligma there. At the unlock screen, enter the backup’s password.
3. Choose Import data, select the file and follow the confirmation. Restore replaces the current vault; it does not merge records. Back up any existing vault first.

Earlier web demo backups are supported; Mac desktop backups are not. After a restore, an encrypted copy of the previous vault is kept and can be downloaded from the unlock screen.

If saving fails, keep the app open and use Tools → Emergency export before refreshing.

Save or export? Save updates data in this browser without downloading a file. Export data downloads an encrypted file to keep or transfer to another device. Emergency export uses the data in the open app even if saving to the browser fails. Each export creates a new file.

Inactive records & Bin

When work with a client ends, use File overview → File status to move them to inactive records. The file is retained and can be reactivated.

Deleting a client requires two confirmations, including typing the client’s name or code, not your app password. The record moves to the Bin for 30 days. Open the Bin from Home or your workspace and select Restore.

After 30 days it is removed at the next unlock. Previously downloaded backups are unchanged and may still contain the record.

Speak, review, correct

1. In a note field, right-click → Dictation or select its microphone. On mobile, use the microphone beside the field.
2. On first use, select Download & enable. About 65 MB downloads from this site; Git and CMake are not needed.
3. First set the app language to Greek or English. Select Start dictation, allow microphone access and speak for up to 90 seconds.
4. Select Stop & transcribe. Review names, negatives and clinical terms, correct the text and select Insert into field.

Transcription runs on your device. Audio is not uploaded to a server or stored in the record. Cancelling, navigating or locking stops capture. Use it for your own short notes, not to record a full session.
