Custom templates

Notes shaped like the way you already document.

Start from a built-in format or a blank page. Pick sections from a ready-made library, add smart sections that follow your own instruction, or paste an example note and let Tidemend build a template that matches your structure and style.

Why it helps

What it does for you

A library of ready-made sections

Client report, observation, clinical work, assessment, safety, history, plan and summary sections, each with a sensible instruction you can adjust.

Smart sections

Write your own instruction, like "List each DBT skill reviewed and whether the client used it this week", and Tidemend fills that section accordingly.

Start from an example note

Paste a de-identified note you've written before. Tidemend turns its structure into a template so new drafts read like yours.

Set for individuals, couples or families

Mark which kinds of care a template is for so the right options show up when you start a session.

How it works

A few steps, mostly out of your way.

  1. Step 1: Start somewhere

    Duplicate a built-in format, start blank, or generate from an example note.
  2. Step 2: Arrange sections

    Add, remove, reorder and rename sections. Mark which ones are required.
  3. Step 3: Write smart instructions

    Tell any section exactly what to capture in your own words.
  4. Step 4: Use it anywhere

    Your template appears alongside the built-in formats for every session.
