## What is Anchor?

Anchor is a daily support tool for people recovering from an eating disorder. It accompanies professional treatment; it never replaces it.

WHAT IT DOES
• Routines that hold you: meals, rest, movement. Confirm with a tap; if a day doesn't go to plan, that's okay. If you choose, they confirm themselves after their time, and say so.
• "Now": one door for the hard moment. Ride the urge (fifteen minutes, accompanied), breathe with guidance (no breath holds), let an emotion pass, or open your safety plan.
• Emotional check-in without numbers: how you are and, if you want, what's underneath.
• Strategies grounded in DBT, CBT, ACT and self-compassion, with their evidence base in plain sight.
• Plan ahead: trips, exams, schedule changes, with a minimum viable routine.
• Progress without scores: the shape of your week, not a grade.
• Honest psychoeducation: what is proven and what isn't.
• Day or night: light, dark or as your iPhone.

WHAT IT NEVER DOES
• No calorie or macro counting.
• No weight or BMI tracking.
• No streaks, rankings or badges.
• No red/green colour coding, no guilt-tripping tone.
• No AI chat of any kind.

PRIVACY
Your data lives on your device and, if you choose, in your private iCloud. No account, no ads. Anonymous usage statistics of our own (only which screens are opened and for how long, never your routines, meals, moods or anything you write), which you can turn off in Settings. Health data (sleep, activity) is only read if you turn it on, and never leaves the phone.

If you are in danger or your own thoughts scare you, Anchor takes you to your safety plan and to your region's helplines in two taps.

Anchor is meant to be used alongside a treatment team. It is not a medical device or a treatment.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 0.2.1 — 2026-11-02

We keep working to make Anchor better and better. Turn on automatic updates so you don't miss a thing.

### 0.2.0 — 2026-10-10

If your pattern includes binge eating (with or without compensating), Anchor now offers a pause before eating (three breaths and a question, all optional) and suggests a snack when a long gap opens before dinner. The science section now only gives figures with a source.

### 0.1.9 — 2026-10-08

Appearance in one place: in Settings, the mode (light, dark or as your iPhone), the icon and the theme sit together.

Easier to read: the light-grey hours, dates and captions gain contrast, by day and by night.

VoiceOver goes further: the safety plan buttons say what they do and are easier to tap, the 12-week mosaic reads each day, and after a check-in the screen waits for your tap.

A routine's days are easier to tap and are read in full. The «Urge Surfing» wave stays still if you have Reduce Motion on.

The privacy policy opens in your language, and the scientific basis cites its sources correctly.

### 0.1.8 — 2026-10-02

New since the last version:

Day or night: choose light, dark or as your iPhone, and the icon you like.

If you want, routines with a time can confirm themselves an hour after their time. They show «auto», a tap undoes it, and the alerts on Home only count what you confirm. It comes switched off.

If you support Anchor, as a thank-you, you get three more colour themes.

The report for your therapist gathers everything «underneath» your emotions, in its own section, with numbers written the way your language writes them.

Fixes: meals no longer change their names when switching from French to another language, and VoiceOver and contrast are better across the app.

### 0.1.4 — 2026-09-29

Anchor now speaks French, for France and Canada.

The help resources at the start of the app now follow your region: before, they showed Spain's to everyone.

ANAD (United States) now says that it closes on public holidays.

On iPad, Anchor looks right and scrolls properly, in a window or stretched wide: the top bar no longer sits under the window controls, and text no longer runs from edge to edge.

The welcome screen now scrolls, so you can reach everything even on a short screen or with large text.
