Fill out your diary card in a couple of minutes a day — emotions, urges, target behaviors, and the skills you used — then hand your therapist a clean PDF at your next session. DBT Diary Card keeps the whole thing on your phone, offline, with no account and no subscription.

• Rate emotions and urges on the familiar 0–5 scale
• Log the skills you used and how much they helped (0–7)
• Track your own target behaviors, medication, and a private note

SEE YOUR WEEK
• A color heat view shows your week at a glance
• Spot the hard days and the ones where skills helped
• Swipe between weeks
THERAPIST-READY PDF

• Share it however you like — the OS share sheet, no in-app email required
• Nothing is uploaded; the file is made on your device
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• 100% offline — works on a plane, in a waiting room, anywhere
• Optional PIN and biometric lock; the diary never shows in the app switcher

DBT Diary Card is a self-tracking tool. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and is not a substitute for care from a licensed professional. If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (US) or your local emergency number right away — crisis resources are one tap away inside the app.
