CounselCat (상담냥) is an AI counseling app built around "anonymous, always-available" support, using a psychology-research-grounded counseling model for companion-style conversation. The flow: no sign-up or account needed—just start chatting; pick one of three cat personas—Coco (fully accepts feelings and comforts), Rano (reads the moment's mood and responds aptly), or Leo (helps set goals and encourages change)—and the AI analyzes your situation and emotions to listen and advise in the best-fitting way. All conversations stay on your device and are never shared, with full anonymity. Developed by Minsik Kim and launched Oct 2023, it suits people who want to privately sort out everyday worries and stress.
Background
CounselCat (상담냥) was developed by Minsik Kim and launched in Oct 2023 as an anonymous, evidence-based AI counseling app.
Technology
Powered by a psychology-research-grounded counseling model with three conversation styles—Coco/Rano/Leo; chats are stored only on-device. Underlying model details not disclosed.
Market
Run by an individual developer; about 28 Korea-region App Store ratings averaging 4.8 (checked Oct 2026), an early regional product. No public download data—this reflects the store-rating scope.
Best For

Editorial Note
Anonymity, no-account access and on-device privacy are strengths, and the three cat personas lower the barrier to opening up; but it is Korean-only with few ratings and is supportive, not therapeutic.
Strengths

- + Three cat personas match different listening styles
- + Evidence-based and available anytime
Drawbacks
- − Korean-only, Korea-region focused
- − Few store ratings, weak activity signal
