## What is HiMS?

HiMS (Hole in My Soul) is a quiet space to check in with yourself.

No judgments. No scores. Just gentle awareness.

HOW IT WORKS
• Log how you're feeling in a few taps — a mood, a few words for it, what's weighing on you.
• Run a five-layer check-in (body, safety, belonging, esteem, meaning) to notice which foundations need attention right now.
• Get a short, practical practice matched to what you logged: breathing, grounding, a small next step, a reach-out, a moment of reflection.
• Play practices narrated in a calm, warm voice, with a breathing circle and words that move with your breath.

SEE YOUR MONTH, GENTLY
• "Days This Month" counts the days you checked in. There's no streak to break — each day stands on its own.
• A soft trend line shows how your logged days have felt over the last month.

BUILT FOR PRIVACY
• Everything stays on your device. No account. No server. No analytics. No ads.
• Optional Apple Health integration writes mindful minutes and mood, and can read a few Health signals (sleep, heart-rate variability, resting heart rate) on-device only to offer gentle context — never transmitted, never stored outside Apple Health.
• Export your data as JSON or a weekly PDF, or delete everything, any time.

APPLE WATCH
Log a quick mood or run a quick check-in from your wrist. It syncs to your iPhone when they're together.

IF THINGS FEEL HEAVY
When a check-in shows several layers need attention, HiMS offers support resources alongside the practice. In the US, you can call or text 988 any time.

HiMS is a self-care and awareness tool, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, or replace professional care.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.2 — 2026-10-23

New in 1.0.2

• A voice to guide you. Every guided practice, from Body Scan to Pause and Ground, is now narrated in the calm voice of Dean Applegreen, HiMS's founder. It plays on your device, offline, like everything else in HiMS.

• Words that breathe with you. "Breathe in" grows as you inhale, "Hold" gives a small wiggle while you hold, and "Breathe out" softens as you exhale. With Reduce Motion on, the words stay still.

• Days This Month. Home now counts the days you showed up this month instead of a streak. There is no streak to break; every day you check in counts on its own.

• Small fixes, including "1 days" now reading "1 day".

HiMS is a self-care and awareness tool, not a medical device. In the US, you can call or text 988 any time.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-10-07

Fixes the labels on the crisis support buttons so they read clearly (for example, "Call 988, 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline"), including for VoiceOver. The call and text links themselves were not affected.

### 1.0 — 2026-10-06

No release notes.
