What's New in DBT Skills & Diary Card

1.1.3

October 31, 2026

• A crisis line on the "I need a moment" screen: call or text 988 in the US and Canada, or find a local helpline anywhere else. • The name under the app icon is now DBT Diary. • "I need a moment" now fits smaller iPhones, even with a tool expanded. • You can now leave a small tip in the app (Settings → Support the app). It unlocks nothing; everything stays free. • Holidays coming up? From Nov 20, a gentle Cope Ahead plan for the hard parts sits on Today. Tap "Not this year" to hide it. • Fixed: a good mood no longer makes a day read as heavier in your reflection and History.

User reviews

Gentle and straight forward

I found this app after someone mentioned this on a forum, and I decided to give it a shot. It is exactly what I need to keep track of things in a simpler way. The gentle tone used makes it more authentic and welcoming too

Great dev, great app

It’s a simple app but that’s the point, getting out of your way to make sure it offers the least friction possible towards consistently logging mood and coping mechanisms.

The dev is responsive to suggestions, has added features on request, is very reasonable.

Looking forward to more and seeing how this evolves!
