live under a rock: whats the replacement app

i've tried to look at what the community is saying but i keep finding exclusively journalling tools. i'm looking specifically for a system tracker with a focus on notifying the people in my life when i have a switch instead of having to case-by-case disclose

App alternative: Oceans Symphony

Available now on google play store and as a webapp at oceans-symphony.app

Hi everyone i wanted to share again about my app Oceans Symphony!

I started making it for myself to assist my needs, and its really grown into a massive passion project for me! With the SP shutdown, I wanted a replacement, but so many apps and including SP only really log like alters and front history. I wanted something that could incorporate my hobonichi style journaling/tracking and symptoms/emotions tracking. Something that could assist me when i felt stuck or paralyzed. Something that could help me learn about my system because the dissociation blinds me to being able to track patterns. Something that could store and display my activities so they feel real, and dont fade into amnesia, leaving me feeling unfulfilled bc i cant remember all the work and productivity ive been doing.

Point is, i wanted something comprehensive and thats what Oceans Symphony is, much more than just another SP, its designed as a comprehensive companion app for dissociative systems (but i think a ton of the features can be useful to anyone esp with CPTSD, AuDHD, etc.)

Ive heard from some spaces that theres like, idk someone said something about OS being not secure or stealing data? But everything is fully local saved on your device! Totally private, in your browser/on your device. The only server thing is the friends relay which is super tiny, and its end to end encrypted and off unless you set it up. I put in very explicit data and privacy disclaimers in the app explaining exactly how data is stored and what the friends server shares and all.

This is a personal passion project that has grown and im just putting out there for free for anyone. Rn its only web and on google play store but im hoping to get it for iOS too soon.

You can also check out the neocities page for the app, its a work in progress:

Here is the google play store description:

Private, offline daily tracking and organizing for CDD, DID, Plural systems

Oceans Symphony is a private, local-first tracking and daily organizer designed as an all-encompassing companion app for dissociative and/or plural systems (dissociative identity disorder, complex dissociative disorders).

Oceans Symphony is vibe-coded and designed by an AuDHD, DID system to fill a void and assist my needs, free to all.

Import from Octocon, Simply Plural, Plural Kit and more!

- "Quick Support" preloaded grounding and guided breathing exercises, or create and save your own; suggestions based on how you're feeling (dissociated, stuck, etc.)

- Learning module based on the "Finding Solid Ground" workbook (the same workbook my therapist and I work with!) plus an external resources section

- Generate a shareable summary of your entries over a time range with a "therapy report"

- Adjustable UI and text size for accessibility, customizable UI layout, dark/light themes, color customization, save UI presets and link them to alters to display when they become primary front

- Custom in-app terminology ("system, alter, switch, front")

- Polls

- "Help me unblend"/"get to know me"

- image asset library

And more!!

PSA: Don't uninstall Simply Plural if it's still on your phone

If you still have Simply Plural installed, I recommend leaving it exactly as it is for now. Please don't uninstall it, and don't clear its app data.

The reason is that the app still functions in offline mode after the shutdown. That indicates at least some data is stored locally on the device. I'm currently investigating whether that local data can be accessed and recovered.

I want to be very clear: I do not know yet whether recovery will be possible. I'm not announcing a solution, and I don't want to give anyone false hope. This post is simply about preserving your options while we investigate.

Unfortunately, this investigation is effectively two separate projects. Android and iPhone store application data differently, and each platform has its own security model. A recovery method that works on one platform may not work on the other, so both need to be researched independently.

If you uninstall the app or clear its storage now, any locally stored data may be permanently lost. If you leave the app installed, there is at least a chance that recovery will still be possible if a method is found.

I'll share what I learn with the community as the investigation progresses, whether the news is encouraging or not. Any tools, documentation, or research that come out of this effort will be published in the public PluralBridge repository so the work is open and available to everyone.

If you have experience with Android or iPhone application forensics, backups, embedded databases, or mobile data recovery and would like to help investigate, I'd be grateful for the collaboration.

For now, the best advice I can offer is simple: if Simply Plural is still installed on your phone, leave it there.

How to delete account after servers are down?

The servers went down literally today so I should have done this sooner, but without the servers you can't access the account settings to delete your account. Or would it be the same thing to manually delete everything in the app? I'm not sure if the removal of the servers means deletion of account data that's saved in the cloud, just want to make sure I'm covering my bases
