Description
The urge to self-harm is like a wave. It feels the most powerful when you start wanting to do it.Join over 2 million users and learn to ride the wave with the free Calm Harm app by choosing activities from these categories: Comfort, Distract, Express Yourself, Release, and Random.
There is also a breathing technique to help be mindful and stay in the moment, regulate difficult emotions and reduce tension.
When you ride the wave, the urge to self-harm will fade.
Calm Harm is an award-winning app developed for teenage mental health charity stem4 by Clinical Psychologist Dr. Nihara Krause, in collaboration with young people, using principles from the evidence-based Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). It is built to NHS standards and approved by ORCHA.
Calm Harm provides some immediate techniques to help break the cycle of self-harm behaviours and explore underlying trigger factors; build a ‘safety net’ of helpful thoughts, behaviours and access to supportive people; and provides the opportunity to journal and self-reflect. It also provides signposts to help.
The Calm Harm app is private, anonymous and safe.
Please note that the Calm Harm app is not a substitute for the assessment and individualised treatment by a health/mental health professional.
Please also note that if you forget both your passcode and security answer, these cannot be reset as we do not create user accounts. You will need to reinstall the app, losing any previous data.
Calm Harm has been given a new look and updated to the latest technology. We’ve listened to users and enhanced the app’s functionality, adding the ability to make journal entries at any time and the option to select multiple reasons for your urge to self-harm after completing an activity. We’ve also updated and expanded the choice of activities based on user suggestions.
What else is new?
• Users can add activities to a ‘Favourites’ list.
• The mascots are now enhanced by animations throughout the app.
• Choose from a wider selection of colour schemes.
• Easier access to immediate help via the breathe activity, both during onboarding and in the footer of the app itself.
• We’ve removed the option to set a passcode to access the whole app and, instead, the self-monitoring section can now be passcode-protected or accessed via facial recognition / Touch ID.
• Tours explaining key features of the app.
What is staying the same?
• The app is clinically-developed by a Consultant Clinical Psychologist in collaboration with young people.
• Optional passcode-protection (though now only for the self-monitoring section).
• Users choose 5-minute or 15-minute activities (from the same categories as before), counted down by a timer, that are based on the principles of a treatment technique called Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT).
• Users can still record experiences in the log section (now called My Records) and see information such as weekly average urge strength, most common urges, and most active time of day.
• The app is completely free, with no in-app purchases required.
• Users are shown signposts to further help.
• Our commitment to data privacy and user anonymity.
• No need for data or WiFi access to use the app.
• Built to UK National Health Service standards and approved by ORCHA.
• Users can still personalise their experience.
• The option to hide trigger activities.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 ★This is an absolutely amazing app and has kept my streak going for several weeks now, and I only have a few nitpicks and suggestions. First would be the ability to manually add urges in case you dont use that app but still want to track it (idk if you can already do that) and secondly would be to have the timer run in the background in case for example, you pick an activity like play chess or coloring or something so you can play a chess app which is much more convenient than actual chess.
4 ★Absolutely amazing app! I can already tell it will help me so much. The only suggestion I have is maybe to add calming music? The silence always gets to me and music helps, but sometimes I'm too overwhelmed to even open YouTube up when I'm upset. Just a thought!
3 ★Should be a great app, except that it has a password. Which you must put in every single time you open the app. Even if you only closed it by accident for a few seconds. Unhelpful, as many others have said, and yet there is still no update removing this feature.
5 ★I've only had this app for a few days, but it has and will change my life. As a teenager diagnosed with multiple mental illnesses and has problems with my addiction to harming myself and panic attacks, this app helps me so much! The aesthetic is so nice and I feel welcome in it. I feel nothing can hurt me and I have a choice in there. Whoever made this understands the issues people like me go through and is so comforting to the user. Thank you for making this ♡
4 ★I love this app. Bright, colorful, pleasing aesthetic. Easy to use and very helpful in times if need. This is going to sound petty and silly, but my ONLY complaint so far is the SHARP edges on the app icon. I have a folder on my phone for all my emotional health apps and they all have these beautiful, soft, rounded edge icons except for CalmHarm, this jagged, obtruding box.
5 ★I love this app it really helped me when I was struggling with self harm. I'm feeling much better now but I still keep it just in case My one problem is that there needs to be some way to use the app on a computer/laptop. maybe not as an app but just a way to get to it I'm a student and I can't have my phone in class. having some of the activities online from my laptop would have been extra helpful But overall I love it. It helped a lot and I would recommend it
1 ★Unfortunately not for me, got told to download for depression and anxiety. Not helped me out, if anything at times it made my anxiety worse. Hopefully help others.
5 ★I absolutely love this app, but it seriously is sad. Not sad as in "haha i'm better than you." I mean its sad because people with this problem(like myself) have no one to turn to and have to result to an app to help them. I'm seriously praying for everyone who has to deal with this, again, like myself. And im not even religous. This app helped me a year or two ago and I actually stopped. Sadly, i have to turn back to this app. Hope everyone gets better.
2 ★adding a pin would help tremendously. sometimes when I want to self harm, I turn to this app, but because it asks for my password, I get frustrated and throw it aside. it doesn't help me because i dont want to take the time to add my password when I'm emotionally weak.
2 ★Loved the app the first time I opened it, but now it's blocked me out, asking for a password I didn't make, for an account I don't have, and it doesn't give me an option to make an account. Not great for an app I need in a moment of panic. The internet says clearing the cache can help with this problem, but that's not something I had the wherewithal to sort out in the moment.
4 ★I'm a therapist in CAMHS and the feedback from young people about this app has been great. The one complaint that many have made is that they stopped using it as they had to log in every time, which is a hassle, especially when they forget their word. Could you make it so there is an option to opt in or out of setting up a password?
3 ★Really slow to download when it was needed and have lots of storage on my phone
