DBT Diary Card

DBT Diary Card combines structured daily cards, step-by-step behavior chains, and session-prep reports for conversations with your care team. Record emotions, urges, target behaviors, skills, medication, and notes, then review the history you actually logged.

QUICK LOG AND SHORT SKILL PRACTICE
• Answer just one emotion item and save it into today’s card
• Find seven practice guides with search, four skill categories, and favorites
• Follow one step at a time, including Wise Mind, DEAR MAN, and GIVE
• Record a skill only after explicitly confirming you practiced it
• Include saved answers and practiced skills in your session report

BEHAVIOR CHAINS, STEP BY STEP
• Review one event separately from the daily card
• Map vulnerabilities, the prompting event, and ordered links such as thoughts, emotions, body sensations, actions, and situations
• Record immediate and later consequences, choose a change point, and identify solution skills and a different response
• Save a draft or mark the chain complete, and optionally link it to a diary date
• Include chains from the selected period in a PDF only when you explicitly choose to for that export

SESSION PREP THAT PRESERVES CONTEXT
• Choose 7, 14, or 30 days, or a custom range up to 90 days
• Compare the selected period with the immediately previous period
• Review logged days, missing days, skills, medication, urges, and target behaviors
• Open a native Session prep report before choosing Share PDF or Print

ACCURATE HISTORY
• Missing, draft, and completed days remain distinct
• An answered zero stays different from an unanswered item
• Historical entries keep the labels used when they were recorded

DIARY CONTENT STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE
• No account or sign-in
• Optional PIN and biometric lock
• Create a backup only when you choose
• Technical analytics and crash reports exclude diary content

OPTIONAL PRO SUBSCRIPTION
The daily card, the last 14 days of history, and the current-week report are available without Pro. Monthly or yearly Pro adds unlimited history, reports for earlier periods, and unlimited custom emotions, urges, and target behaviors. There is no advertising. Existing lifetime purchases remain valid.

DBT Diary Card is a self-tracking tool. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not a substitute for care from a licensed professional. In an immediate crisis, contact local emergency services. US 988 and Crisis Text Line links are available inside the app.
