One day at a time, with Penny by your side. No perfect days required.

VOICE CHECK-IN · GUIDED

Tell me about your day

Speak or type at your own pace. Nothing is saved until you review and confirm.

You can use the keyboard dictation button on iPhone or iPad if browser speech recognition is unavailable.

Review before saving

The app suggests ratings only when you explicitly state them. You can change or remove every suggestion.

Your privacy

This prototype keeps completed entries in local browser storage. Speech recognition, when offered by your browser, may process audio through its provider's servers; do not assume dictation stays on-device. No audio recordings are stored by this app. Do not use this app to request emergency help. If you are in immediate danger, contact emergency services or your local crisis service.

Past days & entries

Choose any date, including a blank day, to add or review information.

● Saved diary entry · dates without a dot can be filled in retrospectively.

Saved entries

Add a dated follow-up note

Attach a new observation to a previously saved date without replacing the original notes. Each addition records when it was written.

Progress & patterns

A view of recorded ratings over time, not a judgement of how a day went.

Missing check-ins are shown as gaps, not zero ratings. Individual ratings and skills reflect what was recorded, not clinical outcomes.

Skills practised over time

Prepare a therapist report

Choose any date range. Export a week in the same daily grid structure as the paper diary.

Diary preferences

Additional individualized targets

The original paper card has two unlabeled urge/action columns. Give them names here according to the targets you and your therapist selected.

Your data & privacy

Entries are stored only in this browser on this device. They will not automatically sync to other devices; clearing browser data or using private browsing may erase them. Make regular backups.

The backup contains sensitive health information and is not encrypted. Store it securely. Restoring replaces the current diary after confirmation.
