Marram
Read full descriptionHide full description
Marram is a calm, private diary card for Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Track emotions, urges and DBT skills between sessions in about 30 seconds, and bring a clear weekly card to your therapist. Marram is named after the dune grass planted to hold shifting sand steady: skills that hold you through the storm. LOG IN SECONDS • Tap how you feel and set the intensity from 0 to 10. That's enough. • Add urges, the skills you used and a note only when you want to. • Track your own target behaviors under private labels only you understand. • Dictate a note instead of typing. SEE YOUR PATTERNS • Your month in color: each day tinted by the emotion that led it. • Urges ridden out, skills used and which DBT modules you lean on. • Emotion trends over a week, a month, three months or a custom range. • Mark whether a skill helped, and see what actually works for you. BRING IT TO THERAPY • A weekly diary card as a PDF, laid out like the paper card, ready to share with your therapist. • A short chain-analysis walkthrough when you acted on an urge. ANCHOR: HELP IN ONE TAP • Breathe with a slow, steady circle. • Step-by-step distress tolerance for riding out an urge. • Crisis lines: find a helpline in your country, plus 988 and Crisis Text Line in the US. Anchor is never behind a paywall. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no sign-up, no cloud. Your diary lives only on your phone. • No analytics and no ads. We never see your data. • Optional Face ID lock. • Export everything as JSON or CSV, or erase it all, any time. GENTLE, NEVER JUDGING No streaks to break, no scores for your mental health. A missed day is just a missed day. Available in English, Ukrainian (beta) and Russian (beta). Marram supports your therapy. It does not replace it, and it is not a medical device. If you are in immediate danger, call your local emergency number.
