Updated September 2026

Just updated.

The app got a real round of care this month. Here is what changed.

01

A new look

Deep slate and gold, with a soft grain. Calmer to open, easier to read.

02

Saving feels finished

Save an entry and the app confirms it, then takes you home.

03

Meds and moon phase

A new Meds group, plus an optional moon phase, for those who track them.

04

DBT, by module

Your DBT skills now sit in one group, with dividers for each module.

05

Stats across everything

Your stats now see every group you track, not just some of them.

06

Bigger buttons

Larger things to press, so it works when you are tired or in a hurry.

What's in the app

Two things, done properly.

Feature 01

Skills Tracker

Log your ups and downs as they happen. Track patterns over time without the pressure of a journal. Simple inputs, honest data.

Mood check-in: how are you right now?
Feature 02

Skill activities

Interactive exercises to learn and practise core DBT skills. Built to be used, not just read. More skills and activities added as the app grows.

Why now

The manual you weren't handed.

01

Built from the inside.

Not written by a clinic. Built by someone diagnosed with bipolar who trained as a peer mentor. It comes from lived experience, not a textbook.

02

You're a founding user.

This is early. That's the point. Your feedback shapes what this becomes. More features are on the way — and the people here first will see them first.

03

Real tools, real language.

DBT skills adapted for how people actually talk and think. Not a workbook disguised as an app. Not a mood diary. A tool you can actually use in the moment.

04

Private by design.

Your sessions are yours. No sharing, no streaks, no social feed. Just you and the tools — when you need them, how you need them.

Want to go deeper?

The app is where you practise.

The workbooks are where you dig in. Printable, self-paced, and written with the same voice — warm, honest, and built for real life. Not a clinical manual.
