AgileCBT

A personal, self-hosted app for living with depression and anxiety. It pairs the rhythm of agile teams (roadmap, weekly sprints, daily standups, retros) with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy:

• Today: a morning/evening check-in (mood, energy, anxiety). An optional AI coach then helps you pick one to three steps that fit your energy.
• Board: Someday → This week → Today → Done, with steps sized by energy cost. Steps are carried over or let go, never "overdue". Finishing one asks for mastery and pleasure ratings (behavioral activation).
• Roadmap: values → goals → steps, so every step traces back to why it matters.
• Thoughts: guided thought records with plain-language thinking traps.
• Retro: a weekly look back, optionally drafted by the coach, with a mood trend chart.

The AI coach runs on any OpenAI-compatible API: a local Ollama model by default, or a hosted one through OpenRouter. The same tools are exposed over MCP at /mcp, so Claude Code and Claude Desktop can use them too. Every AI change is logged and can be undone.

AgileCBT is a self-help tool, not a substitute for professional care. The coach shares crisis lines if a conversation calls for it; they're also in Settings → Support. Set your own with crisis_resources in config.toml.

Run

Needs Go 1.26+ and Bun.

bun install --cwd web --frozen-lockfile && bun run --cwd web build
go build -tags embed -o agilecbt .
AGILECBT_SECRET='something long' ./agilecbt serve

Open http://localhost:8080/. See docs/guide/ for configuration, the AI coach and MCP, and phone access, and docs/reference/ for the REST API and CLI.

Develop

# Backend on :8080 (wgo restarts on save; plain `go run` works too)
wgo run . serve --in-memory

# Frontend on :5173, proxying /api to the backend
cd web && bun install && bun run dev

Tests: go test ./... and cd web && bun run typecheck && bun run format:check && bun run test:e2e. The E2E suite boots the real backend against a scripted fake OpenAI-compatible API (web/tests/e2e/fake-llm.mjs). See CLAUDE.md for the full development reference.
