What it does

Practical tools, not a treatment plan.

Untether doesn't diagnose, prescribe, or provide therapy. It's a self-guided companion — informed by widely-used frameworks — for the moments between appointments, meetings, or check-ins.

M

Mind Tools

Short exercises for reframing unhelpful thinking patterns, working through urges, and grounding yourself in the moment — informed by cognitive behavioural approaches.

V

Motivation

A balance sheet, values check-in, and readiness ruler to help you stay connected to your own reasons for change — informed by motivational interviewing.

D

Daily Habits

Sobriety tracking, hydration reminders, journaling, and gentle daily check-ins — the small, unglamorous parts of staying the course.

How it's funded

Nothing in the app is for sale.

  • The app is free.Every tool, screen, and feature in Untether is available to every user at no cost — there is no paid tier, subscription, or in-app purchase.
  • Tips are optional.If someone chooses to support the app's development, they can leave a small voluntary tip. It changes nothing about what they can access — it's a thank-you, not a transaction.
  • Built and run independently.Untether is developed and published by one person, Sean Donleavy, as an individual creator — not a company, clinic, or platform.

Buy me a coffee

If Untether has been useful to you, you can leave an optional tip to support ongoing development. It's never required, and nothing is unlocked in exchange — the app stays exactly as free either way.
