Anchor Plural

For plural systems, on iPhone

A quiet place for your system.

Who’s here, in one tap. A crisis counselor in two, with a message your system wrote ahead of time. Nothing leaves your phone.

In testing now. Coming to the App Store. Free.

Help in two taps

Built for the hardest ten minutes.

Someone is fronting on a bad night, doesn’t know what has been going on, and needs to reach a person. Anchor Plural starts there.

  1. Tap “I need to talk to someone.” It is always in the same place on the first screen.
  2. Tap a text or call line for where you are. Your system’s message is already written: that you are plural, who is here, and what helps.

Nothing is sent until you press send. The app never contacts anyone for you.

Talk to someone: the message the system wrote for a counselor, ready to send, above a button with a text line’s number.

Every other day

Made for plural systems.

The first screen is worth opening on ordinary days too, so it is already familiar on a hard one.

  • Who’s here

    Tap whoever is fronting, or hold a name to add someone co-fronting. A widget and a Live Activity show it at a glance.

  • Front history

    The app remembers who fronted when, with a status and notes, so you can look back later.

  • Notes between members

    Leave a note for whoever is here next. It waits on the first screen, so things don’t get lost in a switch.

  • One safety plan

    A plan the whole system writes on a calm day, shown on the first screen no matter who opens the app. Grounding, a journal and polls sit beside it.

  • Your own words

    Members, alters, headmates, parts, or whatever you use. Profiles hold pronouns, roles, colors, photos and what helps.

  • Private on the phone, too

    An optional Face ID lock that still shows the help lines. Check-in reminders never name a member.

The first screen: four members, Kit marked as here, and a large button that says I need to talk to someone. Front history: a timeline of today and how long each member fronted this week. The safety plan: signs the system is struggling and things that help. Settings: the region for crisis lines, five languages, and the system’s own word for its members. The first screen in dark mode.

Yours to keep

Apps come and go. Your system should not go with them.

Anchor Plural reads in English, Spanish, German, French and Brazilian Portuguese, with large type, VoiceOver, high contrast and a dyslexia-friendly font.

Private by design

What we promise.

  • No server.Everything stays on your phone and in your own phone backups.
  • No analytics.Nothing counts what you do.
  • No AI in the app.Nothing reads, scores or decides anything about you.
  • Free.No subscription and nothing to unlock.

The help screen

How we keep the numbers right.

A wrong number at the wrong moment is worse than none. So the help screen is kept the careful way.

  • Every number is checked against two independent sources before it goes in.
  • The date of the last check is shown in the app, under Settings › About.
  • Where a country has no line we could verify, the app shows the emergency number and a directory of helplines instead of guessing.
  • Found one that is wrong? Tell us and we will fix it.

Coming to the App Store.

Anchor Plural is in testing now. It will be free, with nothing to unlock.
