A Free Tool to Organize Your Own Record

A clear, dated record can help you remember events, notice patterns, and prepare questions for an advocate, therapist, or attorney. Documentation is always your choice. Do not document if doing so could increase your risk.

This page includes a simple tool you can use in your browser without creating an account. The tool itself does not submit the contents of your entries to The Fooled No More Foundation or store them for your next visit. Your entries remain in the current browser session unless you choose to download, reopen, print, or save them.

Use with digital safety in mind

No website or device can promise complete privacy. A browser, device, network, download folder, recent-files list, printer, cloud backup, shared account, or monitoring software may leave traces of your activity. Private or incognito browsing may reduce some local history, but it does not erase every trace.

If someone may monitor this device or your accounts, consider using a safer device or account, or ask a domestic-violence advocate to help you make a digital-safety plan. Store downloaded files only where you believe they will be safe, and remember that deleting a file may not remove copies from backups or synced folders.

What the tool can do

• Add entries with a date, category, intensity rating, and notes.

• Edit or delete entries while the page is open.

• Download your log as a file you control.

• Open a previously saved log on a later visit.

• Print or save a clean copy as a PDF.

How to use it

1. Add only what feels safe. Use your own words, include as much or as little detail as you choose, and avoid information that could put you or someone else at risk if discovered.

2. Save intentionally. The tool does not remember entries after you leave. If you want to keep them, select Save My Log and choose a location you believe is secure.

3. Reopen or print when needed. Select Open a Saved Log to continue from a saved file, or Print / Save as PDF to create a readable copy.

Important limits

A personal log may be useful, but it is not automatically confidential, legally privileged, or admissible in court. Laws and evidentiary rules vary. Before sharing documentation or relying on it for a legal matter, consider speaking with a qualified attorney or advocate in your jurisdiction.

You never have to document in order to deserve support. If you would like help with safety planning, documentation, or next steps, visit our Resources page for independent national and local support options.
