- What you write is saved on this phone only, so you can look back and see what changed.
- These skills help many people, but they are not a replacement for treatment. If you feel stuck, talk to a counsellor.
- Everything you write stays on this phone. Nothing is sent to us or anyone. You can lock it with a passphrase, leave in one tap, or delete it all.
