You are not alone. And you are not wrong about what you feel. detach is a private, safe app that validates, guides, and supports anyone experiencing a harmful relationship — toxic, controlling, manipulative, or what's often called narcissistic abuse or domestic abuse. Whether you're recognizing the patterns for the first time, still in the middle of it, planning your way out, or doing the longer work of recovery — detach meets you where you are. No label required. No milestone to hit first. CLARITY A plain-language library of patterns, tactics, and dynamics that may sound familiar. Not to diagnose anyone — but to give you the language for what you're experiencing. TOOLS - A private journal for the things you can't say out loud yet - Short quizzes that help you trust your own read on things - An impulse tracker for the moments you're tempted to reach out - A no-contact tracker for the streaks that matter - A co-parent plan builder for navigating shared kids - Safety and recovery plans you can actually use - Grounded action steps for the days you don't know what to do next YOUR VAULT A private, protected place for emergency contacts, safe locations, passwords, partner information, and daily routines. When you're ready, share encrypted information with someone you trust — for when you need backup. PRIVACY YOU CAN FEEL Your journal, your logs, your experience — they stay on your phone. No accounts. No cloud. No analytics following you around. A stealth exit button sits on every screen — tap it and the app instantly switches to a working calculator. Enter your PIN followed by "=" to return. For moments when you need to disappear from your own screen, fast. PIN and Face ID protection so what you write stays yours. ONE-TIME PURCHASE detach is a one-time $0.99 purchase. No subscriptions. No recurring charges. No ads. No upsells. You own the app. IMPORTANT detach is not therapy and is not a replacement for it. If you are in immediate danger, please contact local emergency services or a domestic violence hotline. Built by Valkyrie, an independent studio in Ontario, Canada. Support: support@thedetachapp.com
