SilentHelp
It notices what stays
beneath the surface.
beneath the surface.
A quiet companion that learns your rhythm and feels when you're running low — long before you'd think to ask for help. Everything stays on your Mac.
Not a medical product · doesn't diagnose · you're always in control
How it works
Four quiet layers
1
Keyword scan
A local word list. No AI, instant.
2
Semantic context
Reads meaning, not just words.
3
Behavioral rhythm
Tab-switching, typing pace, late nights — vs your own baseline. Reads no text.
4
Trend gate
Only a sustained pattern surfaces a moment.
You're in control
One person we can reach
If — and only if — all four layers cross the line over several days, SilentHelp can prepare one private note to someone you trust. You can change or remove this anytime.
Nothing is ever sent without your say-so.
Your own quiet space.
Sign in so everything here — your battery, chat, and history — is yours alone. Nobody else can see it.

Four quiet layers read your own rhythm — never your diary — and point you toward real human support the moment it matters.

Mental Battery
i
Learning your rhythm.
Your Mental Battery estimates remaining energy from how you use your device today — focus stability, tab-switching, late-night activity, and typing rhythm, all measured against your own baseline. Nothing you type is read; only the rhythm. It settles once there's enough activity to measure.

GENTLE SUGGESTIONS
Coping Chat
A supportive space — not a therapist. You opened this; you can close it anytime.
If you're in crisis: call or text 988, or text HOME to 741741. Real people, any time.
Help a Friend
A friend going through something? Paste what they said and SilentHelp will coach you on how to reply — turn by turn.
You paste what your friend says. SilentHelp suggests what you reply. Nothing is sent for you.
Settings
You're in control of everything SilentHelp does.
PRIVACY & DETECTION
Keep everything on this Mac
Required. Your data never leaves the device.
LOCKED ON
Layer 1 · Keyword scan
Local word list. No AI.
Layer 2 · Semantic context
On-device model reads meaning, not just words.
Layer 3 · Behavioral patterns
Rhythm & timing only. Reads no text.
Layer 4 · Trend gating
Only a sustained pattern can surface a moment.
TRUSTED CONTACT
If all four layers cross the threshold over several days, SilentHelp can send one private note to someone you trust. By default, your school counselor.
MAC AGENT
Pair the desktop agent to this account so its behavioral tracking (tab-switching, typing pace, late nights) actually reaches your dashboard — without pairing, the agent's data has nowhere authenticated to go.
Not paired yet
Paste this into the agent's menu — "Connect account…"
This code won't be shown again after you leave this page. Generating a new one disconnects the old device.

HOW YOUR PRIVACY WORKS
🔒
What SilentHelp looks at
Only text you actively write (chat, or the focused field / screen when the Mac agent is on) and rhythm signals — tab switches, typing corrections, late-night minutes. Never your files, photos, passwords, or browsing history.
💾
What gets stored
Only the signal — a category and a severity level with a timestamp. The sentences that triggered a moment are never saved. Your chat history stays in your own account file, readable by no one else.
☁️
What ever leaves the device
One thing, and only if Layer 2 is on: the text being checked is sent to the semantic model for meaning-reading, then discarded — it is not used for training and not stored by us. Turn Layer 2 off and nothing leaves at all.
✉️
Who ever gets told
No one — unless all four layers cross a sustained threshold, and even then a note is only drafted for your trusted contact. You read it, you edit it, you press send. Nothing is ever sent silently.
🗑️
Your right to disappear
Export everything as one file, or delete everything permanently, below — no copies, no "retention window", no questions.
YOUR DATA
SilentHelp is not a medical product and does not diagnose any condition. It surfaces patterns and points you toward real human support.

Background Mac agent
Reads the focused text field of other apps (Messages, Notes). Needs the Mac app installed + Accessibility permission granted.
How to install the Mac app
Two minutes, one time. The agent then watches quietly from your menu bar.
1
Click Download for Mac above — you'll get SilentHelpAgent.zip. Double-click it to unzip.
2
Drag SilentHelpAgent.app into your Applications folder.
3
Right-click the app → Open → Open (first launch only — this tells macOS you trust it).
4
Grant the two permissions it asks for in System Settings ▸ Privacy & Security: Accessibility (reads the focused text field) and Screen Recording (lets it see Google Docs & browsers). Flip the toggle next to SilentHelpAgent in each.
5
Look for 🟢 SH in your menu bar — green means it's watching over you. From that menu you can send a test alert, or Ignore for 1–2 hours when you want quiet.
If the icon stays 🔴 red, re-open System Settings and check both permissions. Everything the agent reads stays on your Mac.

Permanently removes your account and every piece of data — history, chat, settings, baseline. This cannot be undone. You can sign up again later with the same email, starting completely fresh.
A quiet check-in
Your last few days look a little more scattered than your usual — later nights, more restless switching. No alarm. Just wanted to gently ask: how are you doing?
