How It Works

Tracking Progress Without Tracking You

You can achieve your recovery goals without revealing your identity. Here's how.

Anonymous Session

When you visit, we create a random session ID. No name, no email, no phone number. Just a unique code that stays on your device.

Client-Side Encryption

Journal entries are encrypted before they leave your device. Only you have the key. We store encrypted blobs we cannot read.

Pattern Analysis Only

Our AI analyzes patterns (mood trends, trigger correlations) without ever reading your words. Insights without intrusion.

What We Know vs. What We Don't

What We Know

  • Anonymous session ID (random string)
  • Mood trends (1-5 scale, no names)
  • Craving intensity levels
  • Streak counts and milestones
  • Feature usage patterns
  • Aggregated trigger correlations

What We Don't Know

  • Your real name (unless you share it)
  • Your email address (unless for backup)
  • Your location or IP address
  • What you write in your journal
  • Your personal story or circumstances
  • Who you are or how to contact you
