A Free, Private Way to Keep Your Own Record​

Keeping a clear, dated record of what has happened to you can be one of the most powerful tools you have - for your own clarity, for a therapist or advocate, or for a legal case if you ever choose to pursue one.

​

This page gives you a free, simple toolkit you can use right here, with nothing to download or install. Nothing you enter is uploaded anywhere, tracked, or seen by anyone unless you decide to share it. You are always in control.

​

Why We Built It This Way: Privacy By Design​

Most online journaling or documentation tools ask you to create an account and store your entries on their servers. For survivors of coercive control, that can be dangerous. An abusive partner who has access to your email, your phone, or your shared devices could find an account like that.

​

This toolkit works differently. It runs right here on this page, in your own web browser - no account, no installation, and nothing to figure out. What you type stays on your screen unless and until you choose to save it. There is no login, no cloud account, and no record of your activity sent anywhere. When you're ready, you can save your entries to your own computer or a USB drive - a device the other person does not have access to.

​

What's Inside

​Right below, a simple interactive tool where you can add entries (date, category, intensity, and notes), see them all in a table, edit or delete any entry, save your log as a file whenever you like, and print or save a clean copy as a PDF.​

​​

How It Works

​

Step 1: Scroll Down and Start

There's nothing to download or install. Just scroll down - the toolkit is right here on this page, ready whenever you are.

Step 2: Fill In Your Entries​

 Fill in the date, a short category (like Verbal Abuse, Financial Control, Isolation, Threats, or Physical), your own intensity rating from 1 to 10, and notes in your own words, then click Add Entry. A sample entry is shown so you can see how it works - click Edit or Delete to remove it once you're ready to add your own.​

Step 3: Save Your Log​

Whenever you like, click Save My Log to download your entries as a file you keep - nothing is uploaded or sent anywhere. Next time you visit this page, click Open a Saved Log to pick up right where you left off. You can also click Print / Save as PDF any time you want a clean copy to read, print, or share with someone you trust, entirely on your own terms.​

A Reminder

​

You do not have to do any of this right now, or ever, if it doesn't feel right for you. This toolkit exists so that if and when you're ready to document what's happening, you have a private, safe way to do it - one that belongs only to you.
