Lighthouse is a private, encrypted home base for DID and OSDD systems — a calm place to keep track of who's who, stay connected internally, and handle daily life together. Everything lives on your device and in your own iCloud. No account to create, no tracking, and nothing sent to us — your inner world stays yours. WHAT YOU CAN DO • System & alters — keep a roster with roles, pronouns, colors, and notes, and see your system at a glance. • Journal — write or sketch entries and tag who's fronting, then look back over time. • Internal communication — leave notes on a shared board so the whole system stays in the loop. • Mood tracking — log how you're feeling and notice patterns. • Calendar & reminders — plan events and keep track of what matters. • Medications — track meds, doses, and schedules with gentle reminders. • Make it yours — give each alter their own theme so the whole app reflects who's currently fronting. • Private sharing (optional) — securely share selected updates with a trusted friend through your own iCloud. PRIVACY FIRST Your data is encrypted on your device, backups are protected with a passphrase you choose, and no data is collected by the developer. Lighthouse is built to be a safe, quiet space. Lighthouse is a supportive organizational tool — not a medical device or a substitute for professional care. If you're in crisis, please reach out to a qualified professional or your local emergency services. Made with care. Feedback is always welcome from inside the app.
