A major purpose of this exercise in CBT is training the subject to identify these thoughts and the defective cognitive pattern behind them themselves.
I think a keyboard automating the process for every input might potentially have harmful effects, serving as a constant reminder of the disease and with wrong timing lowering confidence in something the person maybe thought about a lot before writing it down.
What I'm trying to say is, the app OP has published looks nice and offers a digital alternative for a singular mechanism of CBT at the users convenience. The rest is not a tech problem.

- tastroder 8y agoWhile most apps I'm aware of in this context come with some configurability in that regard (e.g. letting you choose the time of day, opt out, etc.), I'd say that highly depends on quite a few factors. Just like the frequency of in person therapy visits usually is adjusted by personal progress (at least around here and in the context of CBT), these mechanics aren't applied as the only measure. Assessing your thought process in this structured manner might be helpful one week, while being a thing to obsess about another and other techniques or a mix might have more positive impact. My main thinking point was the constant nature of the suggestion that I'd have an issue with. It wouldn't really allow to factor in a person's current requirements.
