UNDERSTAND YOUR PATTERNS • Charts showing intensity over time, when episodes occur, and what triggers them • Skill effectiveness tracking, see which coping tools actually help • Filter by date, intensity, time of day, and more • Build custom charts from your own data

SHARE WITH YOUR PROVIDER • Generate an encrypted, password-protected HTML report • Decrypted locally in any browser, nothing touches a server • Includes sortable tables, charts, and full entry history • Send to your therapist to support, not replace, your sessions

YOUR PRIVACY IS THE POINT • No account required • No internet connection needed • All data stored on-device with AES-256 encryption • Nothing leaves your device unless you choose to share it • Device loss means data loss, store your exports somewhere safe
