Brave Steps
Gentle, step-by-step practice for facing worries, at your own pace. Offline, private, no account.
Brave Steps is a calm, private companion for gentle, step-by-step practice. You choose small steps, take them one at a time, can jot down what the worry says, and calm tools are there whenever a step feels like too much.
You pick something small that you would like to feel easier about, like touching a door handle, and stay with it for a few minutes at your own pace. Brave Steps helps you plan those steps, stay with them, and see how far you have come.
What it does
- Build your ladder: list the things that worry you and rate each one from 0 (calm) to 10 (very anxious). The ladder is sorted easiest first, and you can reorder it any time.
- Practise at your pace: pick a step and set a goal, from 1 minute up to an hour. A large, simple timer keeps the screen awake while you practise.
- Rahma, your companion inside the app, checks in every few minutes so you can note how you feel with one tap.
- A worry note if you want one: before a practice, write down what the worry says will happen. Afterwards you can see it again and add what actually happened. It is optional and stays on your phone.
- If a step feels like too much, a quiet "This feels like too much" button is on every main screen. It says stopping is fine and suggests a smaller step next time.
- See your progress: minutes practised, days this week and total days practised, with a simple chart for each step.
- Everything you enter stays on your phone. No account, no sign-in, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. Not copied to cloud backups.
- Large buttons, readable text that follows your phone's font size, and screen reader support.
