What is the stigma tax?

In traditional healthcare, the stigma tax is the friction that raises the cost of asking for help. You don't pay it in dollars. You pay it in fear, delay, and doubt.

When that cost gets high enough, people in a panicked or high-risk moment freeze, put off action, or walk away from care entirely.

The architecture: your data stays yours

Privacy fears peak in high-stakes moments. So the apps are built so your private entries never leave your hands.

The architecture: your data stays yours. No accounts or sign-ups, entries stay on your device, nothing personal goes to the cloud, delete it and it's gone.

Protection is a fundamental right. Both apps are free for everyone, always.

No referral required

Open decision trees, FRIES-based boundary scripts, and 72-hour window timers directly, without a clinical referral.

Status-neutral and affirming

Self-respect, practical agency, and usable tools replace clinical shame and judgment.

A plan, with peace of mind

By pairing on-device privacy with zero financial barriers, Zero Stigma Tax means anyone facing a 1 a.m. crisis can build a plan they can act on, without worrying who's watching.

Keep your privacy tight

The apps don't collect your entries, but your device is still yours to protect. A few things outside the app's control:

  • Shared or unlocked devices. Anyone who can open your phone can open the app. Use a screen lock.
  • Browser history. Visiting the web app shows up in history unless you use a private window.
  • Device backups. Some phone backups can include app data. Check your backup settings if that matters to you.
  • Clinic billing. Insurance paperwork is handled by clinics and insurers, not the apps. Ask a clinic about confidential or sliding-scale options.
