What's New in DBT Tracker

1.6.0

October 28, 2026

DBT Tracker is your private, highly accessible companion for daily emotional wellness. Built on DBT principles, it helps you log moods, track physical distress, practice coping skills, and build personalized safety plans—all in one beautifully designed app. 1. A Beautiful New Design: We’ve completely rebuilt the app’s interface from the ground up. Enjoy a smoother, faster, and more unified visual experience across every single screen. 2. Reimagined Dashboard & Insights: Your Progress screen has been totally transformed. A gorgeous new “bento-style” layout gives you an instant snapshot of your averages and top items, while 8 brand-new, highly detailed charts help you spot patterns in your wellness journey with crystal clarity. 3. More Precise Tracking: You can now log the exact intensity (0-10) of your emotions, just like your urges. We’ve also upgraded the input controls to make adjusting these scores quicker and more intuitive. 4. Smarter, Faster Logging: Say goodbye to endless scrolling! Your Emotions, Urges, and Skills screens now feature smart tabs that organize items by category and instantly surface your most “Recent” logs. You can also now hide default items you don’t use to keep your workspace completely clutter-free. 5. Streamlined Safety Plan: We’ve unified the Safety Plan into a single, easy-to-read view. Adding new warning signs, coping strategies, or emergency contacts is now a breeze with a seamless new quick-add menu. 6. Accidental Swipe Protection: Ever accidentally swiped back and lost a long journal entry? We’ve added smart unsaved-changes protection across the app to lock your screen while you’re writing and ask for confirmation before discarding your work. 7. Rock-Solid Reliability: Under the hood, we’ve heavily fortified the app’s core database engine to be more resilient and secure. As always, your data remains 100% private and never touches a cloud server. Start finding your baseline today. Disclaimer: DBT Tracker is for personal tracking and is not a medical device. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a mental health professional for medical concerns.

Almost Perfect

I almost have no issues with the app. I like that it’s easy to send logs to my therapist and check in throughout the day. My only real complaint is that I find it too easy to back out of my diary entry. The issue with this is that it doesn’t automatically save drafts, so if I want to go back and see what specific skill I used that day, I will instead go back to the main screen and lose all of my diary progress and have to start over. Please add the ability to save drafts.

Finally! A DBT app that’s actually personal and private.

I’ve been looking for a way to track my DBT skills that doesn’t feel like I’m just filling out a generic form. I especially love how much I can tailor this app to my own needs. I can set up my own custom emotions and urges, and even assign a default check-in template that meets my specific requirements. Plus, it’s private by design, so I know my diary cards are safe and aren't sitting on some cloud server. The daily notifications are also super helpful for keeping me consistent without being annoying. Highly recommend it if you want something private, flexible, and to the point.
