How to use it
- You’re angry right now: tap “I’m about to crash out”, drag the slider to say how mad you are, pick a direction (Let it out / My brain won’t shut up / Just comfort me), then check the number again when you’re done.
- You want to write it down: tap “Write it down 📝”. It goes into your log and you can read it again whenever you want.
- You’re about to send something you’ll regret: same button. Write it, then give it a cool-down time (5, 10 or 30 minutes) and decide when it’s up. That step is optional. Skip it and it’s just a mood note.
- You want to see how you’re doing: “Me → Cool-down log” shows how many times this month you pulled yourself out of it.
- You want a record of what they did: when you check the number again at the end, tap “🧾 Receipt?”, pick what they did and add a line if you want. Once you have one, your log shows that month’s rage receipt: what set you off most, when it usually hits, what brought you back down. You can save it as an image.
- You’re not mad, just bored: “Not mad? Take a quiz 🧪” on the home screen, or “Me → Take a quiz.” Three quizzes (anger weather, fight job, attachment style), and you can save the result as an image.
Common questions
Where does my data go?
Nowhere. It stays on your phone. Unmad needs no account, and nothing you write gets uploaded. See the privacy policy.
Will anything I write get sent?
No. Unmad has no send function. It holds what you wrote and shows it back to you. Even with a cool-down time set, all that happens when time is up is that you get to read it again.
Do my records follow me to a new phone?
On iPhone, yes, starting with version 1.3.1: they’re part of your iPhone backup, so restoring a new phone from iCloud or a computer backup brings them along. Unmad has no cloud sync and no account, so a new phone that isn’t restored from a backup starts empty. Version 1.3.0 and earlier kept them out of backups; after updating to 1.3.1, open the app once and later backups include them.
On Android, no. Unmad turns off app-data backup, so your phone’s cloud backup doesn’t carry them. Some phone makers’ transfer tools may still move app data across; that depends on the phone.
How do I delete what I wrote?
Every note can be permanently deleted on its own. “Me → Clear all records” deletes all records; “Erase all local data” deletes your settings too; deleting the app removes everything. On iPhone, a backup made before that still has a copy until a newer backup replaces it or you delete that backup.
Why does it ask about Photos when I save an image?
A saved rage receipt goes to your phone’s own share sheet. The first time you tap “Save Image” there, iOS asks once if Unmad can add to Photos. That’s add-only: Unmad can’t see anything already in your library. Never save an image and it never asks.
The sound or the vibration is too much.
“Me” has separate switches for sound and vibration. Turn either one off.
Is this a counseling app?
No. Unmad does not assess, diagnose, or treat anything. It just gives you somewhere to put the worst thirty seconds. If you need professional help, please contact a professional. If you are thinking about hurting yourself, please contact your local emergency services or a crisis line right away.
