Feature

If you need help, it's one tap away. Always.

Open Heart detects certain keywords in your entries that might indicate you're in crisis — self-harm, abuse, severe distress. When triggered, it shows a warm, non-punitive message with hotline numbers for your region. 10 countries covered. International fallback for everywhere else. Your entry still saves. We're not blocking you. We're showing you where to find help.

How it works

1

Write as normal

No special action needed. Crisis detection runs on-device, privately.

2

If keywords are detected

A gentle modal appears with hotline numbers for your region. Not a warning. Not a block. Just: 'we're here.'

3

Always accessible

Crisis resources are always one tap away in Settings, whether or not detection triggers.

Why this matters

Relationship distress can escalate to crisis. An app that asks people to write about their deepest feelings has a responsibility to be there when those feelings become dangerous. This isn't a feature we market. It's a feature we owe our users.

How Open Heart compares

Most couples apps have a generic resources page buried in settings. Open Heart proactively surfaces help based on what you write, in your language, for your region.

Common questions

Does Open Heart monitor my entries for crisis content?

Detection runs entirely on your device. No crisis-related data is sent to our servers or logged anywhere.

Will my partner know if crisis resources are shown to me?

No. Crisis detection is private to you. Your partner is never notified.

What countries are covered?

US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, South Africa, India, Germany, and France. All other regions get international directory links.
