Welcome.
I'll keep what you tell me, day by day, in your own record.
Ready when you are. Tap below and let's start.

What we actually ask, and why.

Honest list. We collect just enough for the AI to be useful. Not a clipboard.

We ask
Your first name

So I can call you something. Nickname is fine. Required.

We ask
What's heaviest right now

One open question. Tells me a lot. You can voice it, type it, or skip.

We ask
Broad situation tags (optional)

Recovery, condition, carer, neurodiverse, mental health. Helps me pick the right voice and pace. Skip if you'd rather.

We ask
Your voice preference

Six AI voices. Pick one. Change any time.

We ask
A safety contact (optional)

Someone we'd nudge if you go silent through a rough patch. We never share what you said. Skip if you don't want to.

We ask
Your email

For account recovery only. We don't email you newsletters. Promise.

We don't ask
Age, gender, postcode, ethnicity

None of that helps the AI help you. So we don't ask.

We don't ask
A 40-question intake form

The AI learns who you are by talking to you. Not by interrogating you on day one.

We don't ask
Your medical history upfront

If conditions, medications or diagnoses come up in conversation, we keep that record. We don't demand it on signup.

We don't ask
A severity score 1-10 for everything

You're a person, not a metric. We track what you tell us. We don't make you grade your suffering.

The Almanac is not crisis care. If you are in danger right now or thinking about ending your life, call 999 or Samaritans on 116 123. They are trained for that moment. We are here for the long, quiet work between.
