Nourish

From struggle to recovery

Nourish is a free mobile app for people with eating disorders and their loved ones. Track emotions, eating, and difficult moments; fill out DBT skill diary cards; practice self-care; grow your "garden" of achievements; and share entries with your therapist. Everything in one safe, private space.

Built for recovery

Safe and private

No sign-up required. All entries, journal data, and your profile stay on your device only. If you wish, you can share entries and data with your therapist fully or partially—but only when you want to and feel ready.

Support every day

Purpose-built emotion and food journaling, self-care practices, and breakdown check-ins help you better understand your emotions, reactions, feelings, and states in difficult moments. Support is always close at hand.

Free core tools

All tools are free right now. A Pro version with extended paid features is planned for the future. Emotion and food journaling, DBT skill diary cards, check-ins, self-care practices, the achievement garden, and core support materials are completely free—so everything you need is at hand in difficult moments.

Journal, reflection, and self-care

Nourish helps you track mood, eating, and difficult moments in a structured, private format. The calendar shows:

journal entries (emotions, meals, physical activity, and more)
completed self-care practices
breakdown check-ins
DBT skill card entries

All of this helps you notice patterns, habits, and changes in your state and behavior more easily.

The Support section brings together helpful materials—recovery guidelines, myths and facts, a curated film list, nourishment through food—and lets you share data with your therapist and send feedback to the developers.

Self-care practices

Gentle guided exercises help you pause, ground, and reconnect with yourself. Choose from mindful eating, the 5-minute pause technique, the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding exercise, or a short meditation—each with step-by-step guidance designed for difficult moments. Completed practices appear in your calendar, and you can set reminders to build supportive habits at your own pace.

Grow your achievement garden

Your garden grows with every journal entry, self-care practice, and moment of reflection. Collect petals in each category and watch flowers bloom as you build healthy habits.

Unlock achievements for consistency—journaling streaks, hydration, self-care weeks, and more. Gentle milestones that celebrate progress without pressure or comparison.

DBT skill diary cards

Structured DBT diary cards help you track your state, urges, target behaviors, and skill use throughout the day. Choose a standard card or an eating-disorder-focused version tailored to recovery.

Rate intensity, log which skills you practiced, and add notes—so patterns become clearer and therapy gains a richer picture of your daily experience. Set reminders to fill in your card at a time that works for you.

Inside the app

Emotion journal, DBT skill diary cards, self-care practices and techniques, breakdown check-ins, up-to-date information and support—all in one calm, private space built for gentle support during and after recovery.

Why people choose Nourish?

User stories about support, privacy, journaling, gentle structure, and sharing important entries with a therapist.

"I've tried different recovery apps before, but many felt too complicated or too focused on calories. Nourish is much calmer. The app doesn't pressure me and helps me better understand my feelings and state."
