Calm Now
One tap when it is bad. A chooser that leads with whatever you said you came here for, then box breathing and grounding — no streaks, no scoring, nothing to finish.
It never asks you to keep a streak
Most wellbeing apps are built to be opened daily and make you feel it when you don't. Burrow counts the days you have shown up, and that is all it does with them — no streaks to break, no badges, no notification telling you that you have let anyone down.
A check-in that listens back
Pick a feeling from the wheel, say what is on your mind and what helped. It reads all of it back to you afterwards — the point is being heard, not filing a report.
A journal, written or spoken
Type it, or say it out loud when typing is too much. Gentle prompts if the page is too blank. Everything stays on your phone.
Pip notices
If your heart rate stays up for a few minutes, Pip asks how you are — once, gently, with two answers of equal size. That's the whole feature. It is off until you turn it on, it goes quiet in rest mode, and it waits ninety minutes before asking again.
Needs a connected heart-rate source. A raised heart rate is not a diagnosis and Burrow never treats it as one.
Private by construction, not by policy
There is no server. Your journal, your check-ins and the days you have shown up are written to your phone's own storage and never leave it. Nobody at Burrow can read what you write, because there is nowhere for it to arrive. Settings has a button that erases all of it.
The trade is honest: because nothing is uploaded, nothing is recovered if you lose your phone.
Burrow is a companion, not care
It can sit with you. It cannot help in a crisis, and it will always say so — there is a screen of real crisis lines one tap from Calm Now. If you are struggling right now,findahelpline.com lists free, confidential support almost everywhere.
