Almost Dawn

When it gets dark,
you don't have to wait alone.

Almost Dawn is a check-in. Five levels, plain language. If things get bad, the people you chose — your Lights — get a notification. That's all it does.

01

You check in

Five levels. "I'm okay" all the way to "In crisis." You pick the one that's true.

I'm okay Feeling low Struggling Need support In crisis
02

Your Lights find out

At level 3 and above, the people you trust get a push notification. They can call or text you directly.

Almost Dawn

Someone you care about needs support right now.

03

You follow your plan

After you check in, the app shows the plan you wrote for yourself. A breathing exercise, someone to call, whatever you decided when you were feeling clear.

What's inside

Nothing extra

Four things, and that's it.

4-7-8 Breathing

Inhale 4, hold 7, exhale 8. An animated circle walks you through it, even when you can't think straight.

Encrypted Notes

Add a private note to any check-in. End-to-end encrypted. Your Lights see your level, never your words.

Action Plans

You decide what shows up at each level. A breathing exercise at 3, a phone number at 4, the 988 lifeline at 5.

14-Day Trends

Your last two weeks, shown as colored dots. Good for spotting patterns, or showing a therapist what's been going on.

Your people

We call them Lights

You pick who they are. A friend, your mom, your therapist. If you check in at level 3 or higher, they get a notification. That's the whole idea.

Invite them with a share code Different Lights for different levels They see trends, never private notes You can be someone's Light too
