DBT diary & family behavior tracking

The plan only works if it gets kept.

A daily tracking card built for the phone in your pocket rather than the folder in your bag — your own DBT diary, or a family behavior plan for a child in treatment. It works on a plane, it takes a minute, and it turns into something your care team can read before the session starts. Tell it how the day went and it names the DBT skills you used; your phone or your CPAP can fill in the numbers by themselves.

Example week — not real data. Green rows are things to increase, blue to decrease, the convention most clinicians already use.

What it is

A tracking card, not a mood app

Mood apps ask how you feel and keep it. A diary card or a family behavior plan is a clinical instrument: the rows are set with a therapist, they change as treatment changes, and the point of filling it in is the conversation it produces on the other end.

Offline first

It never needs a signal

Everything saves on the device the moment you type it and syncs when there's a connection. A card you can't fill in on the subway is a card you stop filling in.

One minute

One day at a time

Big targets, one screen, no scrolling through a grid on a phone. Rate the strongest point of the day, tick the anchors, add a line if something happened.

Still paper

Prints to one page

The same card, the same rows, as a printable sheet. Some people keep it on paper and some weeks everyone does.

For the session

The report answers the first question

Not "how has your mood been" — was the card kept. That is the thing the card itself cannot tell you, and it is the first thing a clinician looks for. Then the targets, the emotions, and the patient's own words, dated and verbatim.

Example — not real data

26 / 28days the card was kept

7.4 hrsmean sleep

24 / 26days recorded at zero

2flagged for session

Four weeks, one square a day. Solid is a complete card.

When a week is missing, the report says whether the data is missing or the sync is — because those look identical on a chart, and only one of them is about the patient.

Who it's for

Two kinds of card, one account

Your own DBT diary

You already know the card is the part of DBT that quietly decides whether the rest works. You also know what it's like to reconstruct a week on the drive to an appointment.

A family behavior plan

When a child is in treatment, the plan is only as good as what gets tracked at home — skin checks, target behaviors, what helped, what didn't. Built for a parent to keep, day by day, in the shape their provider's plan already takes.

Set up around the plan you already have
Questions that cascade — a "no" skips the follow-up, a "yes" asks for detail
One account per family member, not one shared login

For the care team

The first ten minutes of a session go to reading a card that was filled in this morning for the whole week, or not at all.

Adherence visible at a glance
The rows set for this patient, versioned when they change
Shared only when the family shares it, and revocable

What's in it

Everything the card needs, and nothing that isn't about the card

One account, one small app. These are the pieces, each one added because someone keeping a real card asked for it.

The card

Your rows, your way

Yes/no, numbers on a swipe ruler, hours of sleep, pick-from-a-list, and questions that cascade: a “no” skips the follow-up, a “yes” asks for more. When the plan changes, the card gets a new version with a date, and the old days keep the rows they had.

Reflect

Tell it how the day went

Type a few lines or dictate. It hands back the DBT skills you used, named and quoted from your own words, something to try, a question or two for your therapist, and a summary for the session. Tick what's right and it fills in the card.

Your words go to an AI model through our server, under your login, and it never overrides your therapist.

Learn

The skills, in plain language

Twenty-six DBT skills across the four groups: when each applies, how to do it, and how to note it on your card. Tap any skill name on your card to read about it, or add the standard list to the card in one tap.

Connected sources

Numbers that fill themselves in

Hours slept, resting heart rate, heart rate variability and steps from Apple Health. Hours on the machine, the nightly score, events per hour and mask seal from a ResMed myAir CPAP account. Your own device sends them each morning; we never hold your passwords or read your phone. Anything you typed yourself stays as you typed it.

How connecting works →

Family

A child's card, kept by the parents

Set up the card for your child and keep it yourself. Invite the other parent to keep it from their own phone. When your child is ready, they take it over with everything already there, and you keep access as their parent. Give a therapist read access, and take it back any time.

The report

Four weeks on one screen

Was the card kept, day by day. Everything flagged for the session, every note word for word, each dated and one tap from the day it came from. Print it, print a one-page week card for paper, or export the lot as a spreadsheet at any time.

On your phone

Opens like an app, works without a signal

Add it to the home screen on iPhone or Android. Everything saves on the device the moment you type it and syncs when there's a connection. Nothing on the home screen announces a diagnosis.

Help

A guide on every screen

Every screen has a Help that opens at the step you're on, with pictures for your kind of phone. The whole guide prints to a PDF if someone in the family prefers paper.

The plan

One plan for the whole household

Thirty days free, with no card to start. Then one small yearly plan covers every family member's account. If it lapses, the card goes read-only and nothing you entered is ever deleted.

What DBT is, and why the card matters

Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches practical skills for riding out strong emotions, staying steady in a crisis, and asking for what you need. The diary card is where those skills get practised and noticed. Here is the map, in plain language.

Mindfulness

Noticing what is happening, inside and out, before acting on it. Wise Mind, Observe, Describe, Participate.

Read the skills →

Distress Tolerance

Getting through a crisis without making it worse. STOP, TIP, Distract, Self-soothe, IMPROVE, Radical acceptance, Turning the mind.

Read the skills →

Emotion Regulation

Changing emotions that don't fit the facts, and lowering the chance of being flooded tomorrow. Check the facts, Opposite action, ABC PLEASE.

Read the skills →

Interpersonal Effectiveness

Asking for what you need, and saying no, without losing the relationship or yourself. DEAR MAN, GIVE, FAST.

Then how to track skills on your card, and a starter list of fourteen you can add in one tap.

Rate the strongest point of the day, not the average. Printed across the top of every card

That instruction is where the name came from. An average flattens a day until it says nothing; the strongest point is a thing you can actually remember, and a thing worth talking about.

Why this exists

It started with a card I was told to keep.

Strongest Point didn't begin in my daughter's therapy. It began in mine. She was struggling with her mental health, and I was not the steady person she needed me to be. So I went into anger management, and the work that actually held was DBT: a skills group, one-on-one sessions, and a diary card to be kept every day and brought back every week. I didn't go because I'd found a calling. I went because the person who most needed to get steadier, so that I could help her, was me.

The card was the part that worked. It was also the part I kept losing: a folded sheet in a bag, filled in from memory in the parking lot before the session. So I built one for my phone, kept it every day, and brought the report to sessions instead of my memory. My therapist asked for changes and the card changed. The skills I was learning went onto it, so I could see which ones I actually reached for on a hard day, and which ones I only knew the names of.

The same shape turned out to be what a family needs at home when a child is in treatment: what happened, what helped, whether the plan was kept, written down the day it happened rather than reconstructed a week later. The family side of Strongest Point is that, built for parents to keep day by day, on their own phones, and share with the people treating their child.

Everything here exists because I needed it first. The parts that were awkward got fixed because I was the one filling it in at eleven at night. If it helps your family get through a hard stretch with a little more steadiness, that is the whole reason it's here.

Where this is

In daily use, by families and their care teams

Strongest Point started as a card kept every day for a real DBT program, refined against what a therapist actually needed to see. It's now used by individuals and families alongside their therapists, and it keeps changing as their plans do.

Try it free for 30 days with no card to start. After that, one small plan covers the whole household, and nothing you entered is ever deleted. See pricing → If you're a parent whose child is in treatment, read about the family plan or write in and we'll follow up.
