What's New in DBT Skills Guide
1.3.0
September 24, 2026
Tap a skill when you use it. Every skill is now something you can tap. No forms, no rating, nothing to fill in: in a bad moment there is no attention to spare for that. One tap and it is recorded. Tap it again if you got it wrong. Skills you use close together are kept as one entry rather than scattered across a dozen, because a hard night is one event, not seven. The entry names each skill you reached for and where it came from. Later, when there is room to think, the journal asks whether it helped. It never has to be answered, you can change your mind, and "Not this time" is as easy to reach as the other two. A record that can only say good things is not worth keeping. There are no counts, no percentages and no streaks anywhere in this app. This is a record of what you did, not a score you can fall behind on. Still fully offline. Still no account.
