About PRIVATE Workspace
PRIVATE is a desktop workspace for counsellors, therapists and private practitioners who do not want sensitive client material in a cloud service. Session notes, recordings, transcripts and client records are stored and processed on the practitioner's own computer, with local AI-assisted note drafting and templates, while the internet is used only for activation, updates and support.
