*** SilverCloud is provided by a healthcare service that you must be eligible for. Please check with your health service to see if they offer SilverCloud. *** SilverCloud - Digital CBT SilverCloud provides a wide range of supportive and interactive programs, tools and strategies for managing mental and behavioral health issues. These programs cover topics such as anxiety, depression, general wellbeing, stress, anger management, improving sleep, communication skills and much more. Clinical insight and experience is at the heart of SilverCloud's program development process. The evidence-based programs have been researched and written by subject matter experts. Tools The programs also offer a broad variety of interactive tools including a journal, a mood monitor, goal setting, audio meditations and many more. These tools aim to empower users to proactively manage and improve their mental and behavioral health. SilverCloud programs can be used with guidance and personalized feedback from a coach or as a self-guided experience (without a coach), depending on the service you are supported by. If you have a coach, they will review your progress and any messages that you choose to share with them each week. During their review, your coach will reply to your messages and queries, while offering guidance on your next step towards thinking and feeling better. HealthKit Integration If you grant access to HealthKit when prompted, time spent in the app will be recorded as mindfulness minutes and will be available for viewing in Apple's HealthKit. Watch App The included Apple Watch App also retrieves step count and sleep data, allowing you to observe how your mood may be related to sleep and exercise.

About

Inku

Read full description

inku is a small, calm drawing surface. Drag one finger and real fluid ink swirls, blooms, and settles into the paper — no brushes, no layers, no menus. Every stroke also shapes its own generative sound, so drawing and listening happen as one gesture. Press harder, or hold still, and both the ink and the sound respond — a firmer touch releases more ink and a fuller sound; resting in place lets a slow bloom keep breathing on its own. WHAT'S INSIDE • Real GPU fluid simulation — not a filter or a preset, an actual physics-based ink surface • Generative sound built from how you move, not a looping soundtrack • Nine ink palettes, from Indigo to Cherry Blossom • Eight generative sounds, from a bright plucked tone to a slow ocean swell • Sliders to shape the ink's own behaviour — turbulence, brush size, flow force, pressure response • A soft haptic breath while you draw, on supported devices Three palettes and two sounds are free to start. The rest unlock with a single one-time purchase — no subscription, ever. inku works completely offline. Nothing you draw is saved, uploaded, or seen by anyone but you. No account, no analytics, no tracking of any kind.
