The room gets smaller — not you.
You do not have to know what you need.
Not sure?
I already know my capacity state · optional
Only if you want to declare it — the app never measures or guesses it. This only changes how much the app shows at once.
I have room to choose a specific tool
All rooms — and the longer optional routes — live here. The three doors above are always enough.
Nothing on this page requires action.
You do not have to know what is wrong. The app can get smaller with you.
You do not have to pick anything. If deciding is the hard part, that itself is enough reason to stop here.
If something is urgent in the real world — health, safety, money, care, work, legal — the right next step is a person or an official channel, not a sorting room.
This app holds what you put down. It does not decide what matters, what is urgent, or what is safe for you.
Some things belong to a person, not an app.
A human who knows you — a trusted person or caregiver can carry more than this app can.
Health or mental-health support — a clinician, support line, or crisis pathway where relevant.
Work, school, money, legal, benefits — the official channel or an advice service, not a sorting rule.
Immediate danger or crisis — your local emergency or crisis line, now.
The app can wait. It will still be here — nothing expires.
Nothing required.
No rating.
No sorting.
No grounding.
No explanation.
No next step.
You can close this app.
Pick one — or none.
Every room ends the same way: enough for this round.
Higher-capacity · optional guided routes
A route through several rooms. Longer. Stoppable at every step — closing early still counts.
What's stored on this device.
Private session (default) — everything you enter lives only until you leave or close. Nothing is saved.
Keep my place — optional. Saves your current screen and answers on this device so you can return. No expiry. Off by default.
Saved receipts — only exist if you tap "Save receipt on this device" at the end of a room.
Local browser storage is convenience storage — not encrypted secure storage.
What is stored (data map)
shr-keep-place— your keep-my-place choice. Only written if you turn it on.shr-session— current screen, answers, and declared capacity state. Only exists while keep-my-place is on.shr-receipts— receipts you explicitly saved. Delete any time.- Nothing else. No analytics, no accounts, no tracking. Session works with storage blocked.
- Network: this app loads fonts from Google Fonts on first visit (a standard font request — no app content is sent). Everything else is local files. Offline use works without the fonts.
Install this app (optional)
Works offline once installed. No account. Your entries stay local.
