Lighthouse vs Sheaf

Lighthouse is a private, encrypted home base for DID and OSDD systems. Keep track of who's who, stay connected internally, and handle daily life together. No account, no tracking, and nothing sent to us. Your inner world stays yours. YOUR SYSTEM • Alters: a roster with roles, pronouns, colors, and notes, so you can see your system at a glance. • Folders: group alters however your system thinks about them, with photo covers. • Fronting: log who's out, co-fronting included, and look back over your front history. • Make it yours: give each alter their own theme, so the app reflects who's fronting. DAY TO DAY • Journal: write or sketch entries and tag who's fronting. • 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 and reminders: plan events and keep track of what matters. • Medications: track meds, doses, and schedules with gentle reminders. BRING YOUR SYSTEM WITH YOU • Import from Simply Plural, PluralBridge, or PluralKit. Groups become folders. • Restore a Lighthouse backup, or move to a new iPhone with your data (iCloud Keychain on). PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your data is encrypted on your device, and the developer collects nothing. • Backups are protected with a passphrase you choose. • Optional private sharing with a trusted friend through your own iCloud. 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. Send feedback anytime from inside the app.

Sheaf is a plurality tracker for plural systems. Create member profiles, track switches, keep journals, send notifications of front changes to others, and more. Built by plural systems, for plural systems. Inclusive of all plural experiences regardless of origin or framing - no required diagnosis, no gatekeeping, no assumptions about how your system "should" work. Designed to be privacy-first and keep the user in control. Sheaf also includes Apple Watch support with a flexible set of complications and widgets that allows you to see your front status at a glance, register switches, and view history all without ever pulling out your phone. Sheaf exists because Simply Plural is shutting down, and the plural community needs somewhere that won't quietly disappear. Sheaf is open source under AGPL: the code is public, the project can be forked, and you can self-host your own instance if you'd rather keep your data on your own infrastructure. Sheaf can import your existing system data from Simply Plural, with support for more tools coming soon. What you can do: - Track system members and front changes - Write member- and system-wide journals - Manage member groups - Send notifications of front changes - Use the hosted service or run your own - Cross-platform: Mobile, wearable, and web clients We're rolling out in stages. Sensitive community data deserves slow-and-correct over fast-and-sorry, so the hosted service is moving carefully through preview before a full public launch.
