Calm Urge: Self Harm Tracker 4+

This app has been so helpful during my recovery. To start, this app is loaded with features. You can log your progress for the day, see how many days you’ve been self harm free, and even review a history of your journal entries. Not to mention it has the emergency call features, so you can call an emergency contact of your choice with just the click of a button. If that doesn’t work for you, you can type a message ahead of time saying that you need help to any of your contacts through the app. So, if you’re having a crisis, you can send a message without having to type anything. The analytics feature is a great way to show improvement and progress. To top it all off, you can send a copy of your journal entry history to a person like a therapist or someone that’s your support.

Finally, there are ads, but they are mainly banner ads, and not pop ups. So they don’t disrupt your experience with the app. When there are pop-up ads, they are generally very short, and you can click out of them shortly after they pop up.

Overall, if you need a self harm tracker with a simple layout that is jam packed with features for free, I highly recommend this app, and would easily share it with friends.

This app has genuinely helped me so much. as someone who doesn’t always feel comfortable opening up to people or don’t always have someone to open up to, this app lets me get all my feelings out. and i really love how you can see and track your progress and ups and downs throughout the weeks. Also, the activities they provide for calming your urges really really do help and it’s a wide variety of things too. from popping bubble wrap, to journaling. And the fact that it’s an app helps a ton too. I’m always on my phone 24/7. Especially when i’m trying to distract myself from my feelings. So to be able to still sit/lay down, literally just type and be “lazy” but still help myself is amazing. I used to journal to get my feelings out but when your in the moment feeling sad, depressed, anxious, etc, you don’t feel like getting up and going to get your journal and writing. i love this app and as someone who’s struggled with depression in the past and still struggling with anxiety, calm urge has really helped me with not cutting and letting my feelings out in a healthy way.

I really do enjoy this app. As a teen my hormones have been tidal waves and self harming has been something I have struggled a lot with. This app helps me more than any other app I have tried. It gives me a variety of fun distractions and fidgets that help put my mind at ease when I’m having a rough time. I was a little disappointed when I realized that some of the tools in the app you had to have a membership to use, but then a few days later they all became public access which was very fortunate, because as a teen I can’t just spend money like that. While it may not help everyone I think that the majority who use it will find it very helpful and easy to use.
