Check79

Read full description

Check79 is a private, local-first mental-health tracking app built around daily yes/no logging for the PHQ-9 and GAD-7. Instead of relying on memory to answer β€œover the last two weeks,” Check79 helps you log symptoms one day at a time and then rebuilds rolling 14-day scores and trends automatically. Use Check79 to: - Complete a quick daily check-in - Backfill past days from the calendar - Review a timeline of saved entries - See rolling PHQ-9 and GAD-7 reports - Inspect how each questionnaire item maps into the 14-day score - Add notes and support resources - Import and export your data in JSON or CSV - Check79 is designed for personal tracking, reflection, and preparing for conversations with a clinician. Your data stays on your device by default, with no account required. Check79 is not a diagnostic tool and does not provide medical advice, treatment, or crisis support. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, contact local emergency services or a qualified professional.
