Pattern: stalking & harassment log

About this app

What Pattern does

Stalking and harassment are proven in court by a pattern — not one bad day, but a record of small incidents that escalate over weeks and months. The problem is that the standard free tool victims are handed (SPARC's documentation log) is a hand-filled PDF: it can't sort, can't show escalation, and can't tell the story the way a judge needs to see it. The cloud apps go the other way — they create an account, an email trail, and a vendor-stored copy a stalker could reach. Pattern is the missing middle: a structured, pattern-first incident log that lives entirely on your phone. What ships in v1: — Structured incidents following SPARC's fields. Each entry captures date and time, location, exactly what happened, who witnessed it, a reference to any evidence (a screenshot, a voicemail, a photo you keep elsewhere), and the impact on you. Consistent fields are what turn a pile of notes into admissible documentation. — Auto-built timeline. Every incident you log drops into a clean chronological timeline automatically — the one thing the PDF can't do. Scroll your whole history in order, no sorting, no retyping. — Frequency and escalation view. A simple visualization shows how often incidents are happening and whether they're getting worse over time. Escalation is the legal point; this makes it visible at a glance. — Court-ready report. Export a clean, printable report formatted for a protective-order petition — the timeline, the incident details, the escalation summary — ready to hand to an advocate, attorney, or the court. — Face ID lock. An optional lock on the whole log, so a glance at your phone reveals nothing. — Free, no account, on-device. Nothing syncs. There is no sign-up, no email, no server-stored copy, nothing subpoenable and nothing a stalker who gains access to an account could reach. Offline isn't a feature here — it's the safety requirement. For stalking and harassment victims building court-ready documentation privately. The free app everyone recommended, NNEDV's DocuSAFE, stopped working in October 2023 and the slot has been empty since; VictimsVoice is forty dollars a year and stored on a vendor's servers; other free options are region-locked to Australia. Pattern fills the gap: free, private, and built around the one thing that wins these cases — the pattern.
