SUPPORT
If you need help right now.
Nebbi is built for day-to-day check-ins and reflection. It isn’t a crisis line, and it doesn’t monitor your entries. These are the people who can help.

WHAT NEBBI IS, AND WHAT NEBBI ISN’T
A daily check-in, not a crisis service.
Nebbi is a self-guided tool for emotional check-ins and reflection. It’s not a substitute for therapy, psychiatric care, medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, crisis intervention, or emergency services. If you’re in crisis, don’t rely on Nebbi. Contact a crisis service or your local emergency services now.
