Three parts, all gentle

The only required step is the first one. Everything after it is there if you want it.
  1. 01One question, five moodsStruggling, Tough, Okay, Good, Great. No wrong answer, no explanation needed.
  2. 02Six practices, optionalWorkbook, moving your body, gratitude, connecting with someone, a meeting, rest. Tick what helped — or nothing.
  3. 03A private note, if you likeUp to 2,000 characters for yourself. Encrypted before it’s stored, and never shared — not even with a share link.

Anything that helped today? (optional)

In the app this would save “good” and 1 practice for today.

Anything that helped today?

  • Workbook
  • Moved my body
  • Gratitude
  • Connected with someone
  • Went to a meeting
  • Rested

Practices are a gentle record, not a checklist. Over time you might notice which ones show up on your better days.

Once a dayOne check-in per day. Changed your mind? Update it — today’s answer is replaced, not stacked.
Your own time zone“Today” is your today, wherever you are, so a late-night check-in counts for the right day.

What you’ll see

  • A line through the days you checked in
  • Days you checked in, as a simple count
  • Exercises started and finished
  • Meetings you’ve joined

What you’ll never see

  • Streak counters or “days in a row”
  • “You broke your streak” messages
  • Scores, levels or leaderboards
  • Anyone else’s moods — or yours shown to them

Recovery isn’t a game you win by not missing a day. A streak turns one hard day into a loss — and that’s the last thing anyone needs on a hard day. So HEAL doesn’t keep one.

Quick check-in

Two seconds,from anywhere.

In the HEAL desktop app for Windows and macOS, press Ctrl+Shift+H (or ⌘+Shift+H on a Mac) from any app. A small check-in window opens on top, you tap a face, and it’s gone.

It’s also in the tray menu, under “Daily check-in”. The desktop app is still in development and will launch with HEAL — until then, the check-in lives on your home screen in the web app.

HEAL on every device

If today is a struggle, reach a person.

A check-in is private, so nobody is notified when you choose “Struggling”. If you need someone now, these lines answer around the clock. You can also find a live meeting or write a staying-well plan in the workbook.

However today goes, it counts.

The daily check-in comes with every free HEAL account — on the web today, and on phone and desktop as they launch.
