Tether is for the moments panic, flashbacks, or overwhelm take over. It doesn't ask who you are or why you're here, it just meets you where you are, anonymously, without judgment.
Take a look at what's waiting for you.
Emergency Grounding
When everything else has stopped working, this is where you start. A research-backed sequence that brings your nervous system back fast.
Learn It, Master It
Plain-language explanations of why your brain and body do what they do when things get hard. No jargon, no judgment. Just reasons.
Community
Anonymous, moderated, and never alone. People who get it, without you ever having to explain yourself.

It learns as you go
Tether’s behavioral engine quietly notices what actually helps you and brings you more of it. Learning what you need without asking anything of you except time.
Express it your way
Coloring, soundscapes, short stories, music.. we offer different ways to move through what you're feeling when words aren't enough yet.

Have questions?
Is this a replacement for therapy?
No. Tether is not a substitute for professional care. It's built for the moments in between, alongside a therapist, doctor, or crisis line, not instead of one.
What do you know about me, and who sees it?
Nothing that identifies you. Your display name in community is randomly assigned and never shared. What we keep are behavioral patterns and preferences, not your name, not a profile.
What data do you keep?
Only what helps Tether show up for you. Session logs clear after 12 months, community messages after 30 days. Nothing stays longer than it needs to.
How does the community stay safe?
Every message is reviewed before it posts with automated screening and human review of anything flagged. You can also block any person at any time.
Is it free?
Yes. All of it. Mental health support shouldn't depend on what you can afford.
What ages is it for?
Tether is intended for anyone 13 and older.
How do I delete my account?
From your profile screen, in-app. When you delete, everything goes, your data, your patterns, your history. Immediately. Not archived. Gone.
Can I use it offline?
Yes. Almost everything in Tether works offline, sign-in, community, and music streaming are the only exceptions. If you're offline, your grounding sequence will run on defaults until you're back.
