Frequently Asked Questions

ALETHE is a privacy-first mental health and consciousness tracking platform. We use the 12 Dimensions framework from dimensional literacy research to help you track your whole self—physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and beyond.

Daily 90-second check-ins across all dimensions. Pattern recognition over time. Journaling tools. Data visualization. All encrypted, all yours, no surveillance.

Multi-dimensional tracking: Most apps track mood OR sleep OR stress. ALETHE tracks 12 dimensions simultaneously and shows correlations.

Privacy-first: End-to-end encryption. You own your data. We can't read your entries and will never sell your information.

Insight-focused: Pattern recognition and correlations over time. See what actually helps you feel better.

Not trying to replace therapy: ALETHE complements professional help, doesn't replace it. Easy therapist data sharing when helpful.

No. ALETHE is a self-tracking and journaling tool, not a substitute for professional mental health care. Think of it as a companion to therapy, not a replacement.

We make it easy to share your tracking data with your therapist when helpful, but ALETHE doesn't provide diagnosis, treatment, or crisis intervention.

About 90 seconds. You rate yourself across the 12 dimensions on a simple scale. It's designed to be quick but comprehensive—enough to capture meaningful data without feeling like a chore.

Optional journaling can take longer if you want to process your day or thoughts more deeply.

ALETHE shows you patterns and correlations over time:

• How sleep quality affects your emotional state

• Whether social connection impacts mental clarity

• Which activities boost your energy vs drain you

• Patterns in your mood over weeks/months

• Which dimensions are thriving vs need attention

The goal is to help you understand what actually helps you feel better and grow, so you can make more conscious choices.

End-to-end encryption: Your journal entries are encrypted. We literally cannot read them even if we wanted to.

You own your data: Export everything anytime in standard formats. Delete your account and all data with one click.

No data selling: We will never sell your mental health data. Our business model is subscriptions, not surveillance.

Local-first option: Keep your data on your device only. No cloud, no servers, just you.

Yes to both. You can export all your data anytime in standard formats (CSV, JSON, PDF). You can also delete your entire account and all associated data with one click.

Your data is yours. We're just the tool.

Yes! ALETHE makes it easy to generate reports and share specific data with your therapist. You control what to share and when—nothing is shared without your explicit permission.

Free tier: Basic tracking across all 12 dimensions, daily check-ins, basic insights.

Pro tier ($8/month): Advanced analytics, unlimited journal entries, therapist reports, export options, priority support.

We believe mental health tools should be accessible, so core features are always free.

ALETHE is a Progressive Web App (PWA), which means it works on any device with a modern browser. You can "install" it to your home screen and it works like a native app—even offline.

Native iOS and Android apps may come in the future based on user demand.

No! You can customize which dimensions to track. Some people track all 12, others focus on 4-5 that feel most relevant. Start with what matters to you and expand over time if you want.

No stress! ALETHE is a tool for you, not a taskmaster. Missing days doesn't break anything—just pick back up whenever you can. The insights get better with consistency, but perfection isn't required.

Absolutely! ALETHE is designed to complement therapy, not replace it. Many therapists encourage clients to track between sessions. You can easily share your tracking data with your therapist to make sessions more productive.

Dimensional literacy is a framework for understanding human experience across multiple dimensions simultaneously. Developed by The Institute for Holistic Quality, it recognizes that we're not one-dimensional beings—we exist across physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and transcendent dimensions.

ALETHE applies this framework to mental health tracking, recognizing that your wellbeing isn't just about mood—it's about the full spectrum of what makes you human.
