Calm Harm – manage self-harm

I looked at the app as someone working with mental health. I uninstalled it immediately when I realised that usage data is shared with Google via Analytics. The privacy statement says that this data is not linked to you, which means via app functionality. However, Google can easily identify you individually through their other data collection and then link your usage of the app to it, which means that they will, just as an example, know that and how often someone is dealing with self harm and related phenomena. I consider that extremely problematic in such a sensitive and personal area, and the app would work just as well without the analytics.

Die App ist gut und grade wenn es einem schlecht geht hilft es sich abzulenken

Thank you for this app, it helped me and I would recommend this to everyone! I also have clear fear on my phone, I didn’t tried it but the concept looks good! And for all the parents or friend out there who have a kid/friend who suffers because of a mental illness combined minds is the app for you!

Super app und endlich eine die kostenlos ist. Super Tipps und Anleitung. Hilft sehr.

Wirklich schade, dass diese eigentlich tolle App nach vier Jahren immernoch ausschließlich auf Englisch verfügbar ist. Kann ich nicht so richtig nachvollziehen.

Die App ist echt mega hilfreich. Es gibt so viele Sachen, die man ausprobieren kann und dass die App kostenlos ist kommt auch noch mit dazu. Mir persönlich hilft sie und es gibt praktisch für jede Situation eine Übung.

Die App ist echt hilfreich wenn man sich schlecht fühlt oder kurz davor ist sich selbst zu verletzen. Die Tipps bzw Anleitungen mit der 5 oder 15 Minuten Regeln sind echt gut und helfen auch. Ich empfehle es Jedem, der Selbstverletzendes Verhalten aufweist.

I love tracking and seeing my progress. Just makes me proud of myself. What I would like and suggest is adding widgets. I would love to have it on my Home Screen so I could see it without opening the app! Other than that I love it and have been using it for years.

Not only is this app incredible for managing s/h urges, but for other struggles I've had with feeling overwhelmed by emotions, but also helped to manage stronger feelings of anxiety.

I just downloaded the app and I’m already tearing up. I went through an extensive DBT program and this app focuses on a lot of the same principles I am already familiar with. One of my biggest triggers is idle hands. I get so antsy and bored and then overwhelmed by the tightness in my chest and paralyzed by options. It causes me to spiral and make impulsive decisions with negative consequences. It’s so refreshing to have a list of activities that are ACTUALLY doable for a neurodivergent person. Just taking a look around in this app reminded me that there are so many more ways to practice self care. It’s not all working out, skin care, and meal prepping. Sometimes it’s best to just sit and notice. Just be where you are ♥️
