Your clients do not struggle only during business hours. The moment of highest risk is often 2am — when the prefrontal cortex is at its lowest, isolation is complete, and you are not available. Kataleya is built for that moment.
Kataleya is a mobile application for people in recovery from substance use and behavioral dependencies. It gives clients a structured, private space to check in with themselves — mood, journal, breathing — between your appointments. It is not a diagnostic tool. It does not replace therapy.
Kataleya does not generate clinical reports. It does not share client data with you or anyone else. It does not make assessments or recommendations about treatment. It is a companion — the equivalent of a private journal that also knows what time it is.
Most apps treat 2am and 2pm identically. Kataleya does not. Its circadian engine segments the day into four phases — dawn, day, golden hour, night — and adapts its tone, prompts, and presence accordingly. Night mode is quieter, more grounding, and more attuned to vulnerability.
Clients can connect one trusted person — a sponsor, a family member — through an end-to-end encrypted channel. That person receives only what the client explicitly sends: a daily check-in, a presence signal. Nothing more. The relay server sees only ciphertext.
4-7-8 guided breathing with a visual orb. Phase-aware timing. No instruction required.
72 prompts weighted by time of day and recent mood. Never the same question twice in a row.
Six states, logged locally with circadian phase. Patterns surface over time — privately.
A timed, visual exercise for riding out cravings without acting on them.
5-4-3-2-1 sensory grounding exercise. Activates when the client needs to anchor.
Second-precise. Ten milestone markers using organic metaphor — seasons, not streaks.
Kataleya is not a crisis intervention tool and should not be presented as one. It does not connect clients to emergency services and is not monitored by any person or system. Clients in acute crisis should contact emergency services, a crisis line, or reach you directly. Please communicate this clearly when recommending the app.
We are currently inviting a small number of practicing clinicians to participate in a structured pilot program — no cost, no obligation, no data collection on our end.
