WHAT YOU CAN TRACK
• 40+ conditions across 10 diagnostic groups, PTSD, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, BPD, mood disorders, BFRBs, eating disorders, and more
• Intensity levels, feelings, physical symptoms, and coping skills
• Condition-specific fields tailored to your diagnosis
• Custom conditions if yours isn't listed
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
Surfacing is a personal tracking tool. It does not replace clinical care, diagnosis, or treatment.
Report export overhaul:
- Exporting no longer freezes the app. A progress overlay shows each stage.
- Every export gets a Report ID (R-XXXX) shown in the app, in the password message, and on the file, so the password always matches its file.
- The unlock page accepts lowercase typing and pasted messages, and tells you if a file was damaged in transit instead of saying "incorrect password".
- Fixed importing older backups.
Also new: 200 more feelings in search, plus a grief and bereavement section.
