A calm place to begin
Your guide to CaveSignal
CaveSignal helps you name what is happening, ask clearly for the support you want, and notice your own patterns without turning feelings into scores.
The basic rhythm
Check in, keep it private, or reach out.
You can use CaveSignal only for yourself or connect with one trusted person. There is no public feed, follower count, or automatic sharing.
Name the feeling
Open My cave and choose the illustrated feeling that comes closest. It does not need to be exact, and you can check in whenever it feels useful.
Choose what would help
Ask for listening, encouragement, advice, distraction, a call, or space. You can also leave this blank when you only want to record the moment.
Save your signal
Add an optional private note and save. Your signal goes into Signals and remains private until you deliberately choose a recipient.
Invite someone you trust
Build a small circle, not an audience.
- Open Circle and create a private invitation.
- Send the one-time link privately to one person you trust.
- They sign in or create an account, then choose whether to accept.
- Connecting never reveals old signals. You still choose each signal you want to share.
Share and respond
Make the next conversation easier.
After saving a signal, choose your accepted connection in the share panel. The signal appears in their Inbox. They can respond with a simple acknowledgement or a private Cave Note. You can stop sharing later, remove the connection, or block it immediately.
See your patterns
Look back without judging the week.
Signals is your dated, day-by-day record, with pages that stay quick as your history grows. Filter it to the last 7 days, 30 days, year, or all time. Insights summarizes the same periods independently, so a monthly or yearly view includes every signal in that period—not only the page currently on screen. These are descriptions of what you recorded, not a wellbeing score, diagnosis, or prediction.
Your control
Nothing leaves your cave by accident.
You can edit or remove a signal, clear private history, export retained account data, and permanently delete your account. CaveSignal is a reflection and communication tool, not emergency or medical care. If you may be in immediate danger, contact local emergency services or a trusted person who can be with you now.
