In response to user feedback, the streaks functionality has now been updated to allow for new users to change the start date of their streak within the app, to accommodate for streaks that began prior to downloading the app. New users who would like to edit their streak start date to a date in the past can tap the pencil icon next to “Streak started on…” in the My Streaks section. This allows the user to select a different date for their streak to begin counting from. Please note: this functionality is only available to users who haven’t yet ended their first streak in the app. Additionally, in line with our policy to review the signposts within the app every 3 months to ensure all information is correct and up to date, minor edits have been made to some of the signposts.

Calm Harm has been given a new look and updated to the latest technology. We’ve listened to users and enhanced the app’s functionality, adding the ability to make journal entries at any time and the option to select multiple reasons for your urge to self-harm after completing an activity. We’ve also updated and expanded the choice of activities based on user suggestions. Other new features include automatic activity suggestions based on your previous use, the option to record streaks and earn awards for continuing to resist the urge, and a ‘safety net’ of things you can do and people you can contact when you need that extra bit of support. What else is new? • Users can add activities to a ‘Favourites’ list. • The mascots are now enhanced by animations throughout the app. • Choose from a wider selection of colour schemes. • Easier access to immediate help via the breathe activity, both during onboarding and in the footer of the app itself. • We’ve removed the option to set a passcode to access the whole app and, instead, the self-monitoring section can now be passcode-protected or accessed via facial recognition / Touch ID. • Tours explaining key features of the app. What is staying the same? • The app is clinically-developed by a Consultant Clinical Psychologist in collaboration with young people. • Optional passcode-protection (though now only for the self-monitoring section). • Users choose 5-minute or 15-minute activities (from the same categories as before), counted down by a timer, that are based on the principles of a treatment technique called Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). • Users can still record experiences in the log section (now called My Records) and see information such as weekly average urge strength, most common urges, and most active time of day. • The app is completely free, with no in-app purchases required. • Users are shown signposts to further help. • Our commitment to data privacy and user anonymity. • No need for data or WiFi access to use the app. • Built to UK National Health Service standards and approved by ORCHA. • Users can still personalise their experience. • The option to hide trigger activities. You’ll be shown simple tours to guide you through the app. And don’t worry, existing users will have their data moved over to the new version automatically.
