myPlan is backed by Johns Hopkins University research, done with thousands of people experiencing partner abuse. A few things users say about myPlan:

"This may have saved my life, I never thought of putting together a safety plan before”

"It wasn't until I was going through all of the questions that I realized just how bad things really are. Sometimes your vision and mind become clouded just to make it through the day and cope"

"myPlan gave a lot of really, like solid concrete, advice as to what to do for a friend, people don’t know what to say and how to say it."

Safety features:

- No account set up required, myPlan use is completely anonymous
- Changeable icon to hide the app on your home screen

Safety Notes:

- Abusive people often monitor their partner’s device and online activity. You might not even know it’s happening. Having an app about relationship abuse could put you at risk. If you are concerned about someone discovering myPlan, please take steps to use it as safely as possible.
- The safest way to use myPlan is on a device your partner doesn’t have access to. Abusers often monitor their partner’s device activity. Having an app about relationship abuse could put you at risk. If you are worried about someone discovering the app,
- Make sure your device activity isn’t visible to your partner through “family sharing”. Alert: If family sharing is enabled, your partner may get a notification if you change the settings.
- Make sure your device is not connected to other devices a partner could see through cloud sync (iCloud or Google Cloud)
- Delete myPlan when you are done using. with it, but know it’s not always possible to delete completely from your purchase history. Alert: It’s not possible to delete apps from your purchase history on Apple devices. You can “hide” purchases on your own device, but they can still be discovered, and it will not be hidden from a family member’s purchase history if family sharing is enabled. myPlan is also available by web browser if you don’t want to download it (www.myplanapp.org)
- myPlan is not meant for use if you are in immediate danger – call 911.
- myPlan is not meant to replace real live trained domestic violence advocates and service providers. We know most people experiencing abuse never access formal services. myPlan expands access to personalized safety information with the ease of access and privacy of a device, but we encourage all users to reach out to a professional.

This is game changing

I’ve never seen such a well made app like this. As a professional in the field I’ll be promoting it for sure. Thank you so much for this resource 🙏

Not what I expected

I downloaded the app because I’m the one be domestically abused. I was hoping the app would show me that it’s real but when I got on and did the basics survey it’s asking questions about the abuser in the sense that their the one that show be on the app. It’s like it’s trying to get me to fill out everything for them and help them but that’s not what the app showed to do on the app store. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing that the app does that, it’s good to help other with that situation it’s just it keeps like there’s some missing information on the app store page, either that or the app needs clearer instructions. I could use it into a 3rd person way but honestly i would rather not and just find another app. I could’ve just messed up the whole basics thing but I didn’t really see anything about get my own help

I can't get past the screen with demographic questions

I tried clicking none of the options and then some/all of the options, and neither way was I able to click "next" to proceed. It isn't possible to both scroll down and click the button. Nice idea but I don't see how it can be used.
