Wildfern is a discreet domestic violence (DV) support and incident-recording app designed to help users privately document important information while maintaining a normal, everyday appearance on their device.
At first glance, Wildfern presents as a simple personal diary. This diary acts as a decoy app, helping protect the privacy of the user if their device is viewed by another person. A separate protected area provides access to the DV journal and its safety-focused features.
Within the protected DV area, users can record incidents and maintain a private history of events. Entries can include dates and times, written descriptions, severity information, categories and flags, photographs, files and audio recordings. This can help users keep an organised and accurate personal record over time.
Wildfern includes:
A discreet decoy diary separate from the protected DV journal
PIN-protected access to the DV area
Detailed domestic violence incident recording
Photos, files and audio attachments
Incident categories and safety-related flags
A chronological timeline of recorded incidents
Search, sorting and filtering tools
Evidence and document export options
Backup and restore features
Privacy protection when the app is backgrounded
Quick and discreet access designed with user safety in mind
Wildfern is designed to keep the user's information under their control. Journal and incident information is stored on the user's device rather than being publicly accessible through the app.
The decoy diary can also be used as a normal personal journal, allowing users to create everyday diary entries while keeping the protected DV journal separate.
Wildfern is intended as a private documentation and organisational tool. It does not replace emergency services, legal advice, medical advice, counselling or professional domestic violence support services.
If you are in immediate danger, contact the emergency services available in your location.
