let's say hypothetically that endogenic systems are a real thing. if they really wanna separate from CDD's, they need to stop using clinical terms

they need to stop using "alters", "parts", switching, fronting, host, persecutor, protector, gatekeeper, little, caregiver, and introject. why? these are clinical terms used by therapists when treating those with DIDOSDD.

you can't claim to not be invading CDD spaces, and claim to not be disorders while using these terms.

Parallax

Available on IOS and Android

ok so when i was registering my account i didn't realize there was a difference between username and system name so i ended up putting the same thing for both but that's ok—

EDIT;; apparently you can block users on here???? that's kinda cool actually. good if you have an ex or smth that won't stop spamming you with friend requests

Friends

VERY IMPORTANT CUZ IK PPL LIKE THIS. you can in fact add friends and edit privacy settings as to what they can and cant see in regards to folders, groups, and specific alters.

Fronting

like any other system app. fronting is seamless, you can add a main fronter and co fronters, and it also has a blurry/fuzzy option if you don't know whos in front

Member List

member list is basic, it lists your alters out, and can be alphabetical order if you want. a cool thing though is you can actually rearrange them in any order you want by holding down on the profile, it just very sensitive when dragged to the top or bottom of the screen.

Member Profiles

customization is very bare bones and i have no clue if there's any plans to add more, but it has the basics. this is what a complete profile looks like for us

(also plus for having a scale thing for the color picker instead of putting in the hex code)

the image at the bottom actually has multiple if you swipe, which is cool! i'm not sure if there's a limit to how many you can add, but it's like a gallery. this could be useful for face claims or just images the alter wishes to keep, what makes it better is that they don't use image links, it comes right from your camera roll. this is good for me because i get tired of copying links of images and uploading them to image link sites.

Folders

you can create folders, i personally use this for subsystems as it's easier. you can select colors for them and add members from within the folder. they're also stuck at the top of the screen no matter how far you scroll.

wanna know something cool...? you can add images to the folder as an icon. that's right.

LOOK HOW COOL THAT IS!!!

Groups

this is kinda like the subsystem feature in Plural Log where it's a collapsible thing in your member list, however i prefer folders bwcause setting it up can get complicated. it registers ALL the members under as in the group, so you need to put it all the way at the bottom to not throw off the count.

Tumblr won't let me upload the image so youll have to just use your imagination .

Posts / Social Media

a cool function is like twit note, but instagram. alters can create profiles with their own username and display name, and bio, and post images with captions.

other alters can also like and comment on these posts. it's a fun way to boost sys communication imo. one that's less scary looking

Relationships

you can create relationship charts, i haven't dabbled much in this function, so i only have one set up so it's kinda pathetic, but it's easy to navigate

Chats

so alters can have DM's with each other, or group chats with certain alters added. i think this is better for keeping things organized in terms of roles, protectors share a group chat, maybe frequent fronters have their own group chat...it's fun.

Customization

the app has customizable colors and boarders for profiles, however i believe these are pay walled? you get a 21 day free trial, however i have no intention of spending money on this app.

Polls

similar to SP

Reminders

also similar to SP, you can also add which alter made the reminder and decide if it repeats.

tumblr again wont let me upload an image so just use ur imagination

Cons

- Limited customization, and no custom fields

- Doesn't support some markdown other than italic and bold as far as i'm aware (you cannot combine the two)

- Cannot import data through a JSON file, only through SP token (which is bad because my SP is severely outdated & Plural Log has all the correct info)

- No accessibility fonts, but you can change the font size

- Transparent images do not work

Final Verdict

despite the limited customization, i actually really like this app. i enjoy that it allows you to map relationships AND the social media function. it works perfectly and you can add friends, and i honestly might start using this app.

Berry Tree

Android and IOS on Test Flight (So not officially released in the appstore)

Disclaimer : I won't be going over every single feature since this app has a lot, but I'll be going over the basic ones + ones that interest me personally.

Berry Tree has a bot as well with commands similar to PK, but not completely. Edits in the app sync with the bot as far as I'm aware.

Profiles

You can create a profile for both alters and your system, with similar decorative features. Something I've been looking for when it comes to apps is BANNERS!!! I love banners but it looked like only the Android apps had them so I'm glad Berry Tree does!

This is what my current system profile looks like

Super cool, right?!

Theres a thing on the edit page where you can add tags to describe your system (Like saying what kind of CDD you have, or other disorders you may have) as well as add an interaction status

This is what my alter profile in specific looks like (I changed the pfp since it used my real face and errr yeah. )

Tumblr, again, hates me. There is another image to go along with this but it says some shit like "We don't support this image format yet" fuck off it's a screenshot i know damn well you support it

You may ask... "Kiichi, what's with the pin emoji by your name?" Glad you asked! (Unless you didn't then whatever..) The app lets you pin alters to the top of the page to get them easier which can be helpful to make it easier to find frequent fronters faster.

It also pins the alters currently in front to the top.

Another neat thing is that you can add tags to alters as well! This can be things like interaction status, their source, role (Though there's already a preset slot for that), or just something funny. This comes in handy later with another feature!

Fronting

See this little button right here?

Clicking that will open a menu to add the alter to front, and what I like about this is that there's a lot of different preset fronting options, that you can also rename, change the color of, and even add an icon for!

These are the only ones I have right now, all of them were preset, I just changed the name... (Originally Fronting, Co-Fronting, Co-Conscious, Blurry, and Influencing)

Templates

You're able to create templates for when you make alters, it'd have those things preset so you don't have to worry about manually copy and pasting things which is pretty handy!! Especially when it comes to custom fields because I know some people hate copy and pasting over and over and over..The template sheet is just what filling out a normal alter is like, just without any actual info that pertains to an alter.

Relationships

You can create and map out relationships between alters, preset things like Siblings, Partners, Friends, Parent, and Mentor.

Wanna know something even cooler? You can have External relationships! This means you can make a profile for someone who is outside of your system, maybe a friend, and track an individual alters relationship with them!

Another neat thing is that if you have a system friended, you can create cross-system relationships to track relationships between your own alters and alters in other systems. This helps me a lot because of our alters with relationships in our boyfriends system, romantic or platonic (And Fax Machine who has like 50385939 kids).

Custom Fields

Custom fields work the same as every other app really, you can edit whether you want it to be a date, markdown, or plain text.

Library

When you upload images, they're saved into the library, which means you can delete them from your camera roll and they'd like, still be there? If you use an image, it's saved there until you delete it. Cool! You can also upload audio files but I've been getting errors trying it do unfortunately I can't give much on that >_>

Wellness Hub

This is a hub that contains a lot of different things, mostly games that you can use to help ground yourself

As well as block blast, sudoku, word search, and memory match.

Another function in the wellness hub, a "Who Am I?" quiz. This is what it sounds like, a quiz to help figure out who you are and where the tags come into play. It has a series of preset questions, like what pronouns you may use, how you feel, how old you feel, what your role is, and if any tags in specific resonate with you. By the end, it gives you a likely possibility along with a few others, but doesn't pressure you to pick one.

Customization

Berry Tree has a lot of customization options, with preset options and the option to make a custom one. Aha. I'm not that good with markdown, so I stick to plain things and preset markdown codes. You can edit individual alter profiles to be different colors, which is fun! Doll has a pink profile while mine is black and purple...It's interesting. (And if anyone wants to reblog with their profile to show off the customization, feel free to do so because I'm horrible at it)

Customization also has the option to create custom language for what you want to call your alters, fronting, subsystems...speaking of

Subsystems

You can create subsystems and give them a profile photo and banner, and a system tag (This will appear when you decide to proxy with the Berry Tree bot), as well as a bio.

When adding alters to a subsystem, you can also select who the "host" is (Berry Tree describes this as who speaks for the sub system)

Kewl right?

Chats / Polls

Both function the same as SP

Chats can create a category with different channels.

Journals

Journal entries can have names, be categorized into folders, habe your mood tracked, and have an alter tagged along with it.

Berry Tree also has a "How To" area so you can look through there for tutorials haha...

Sorry theres a LOT but this is like...the most important things to me functionality wise, so let's get to the summary...

Pros

- Wide range of customization by far

- Easy to navigate even if you don't want to customize

- Wellness hub!

Cons

- Customization can take a while to learn but hey gotta do what you gotta do

- Obviously still in beta and will have some bugs

Final Verdict

like ik some of their roles and shit but beyond their functions i barely know a lot of their interests and stuff

i never understood why those who know i have a CDD get upset at me for not remembering something. wow it's almost like i have the Cant Remember Shit Disorder

i didn't find a 15 year old and tell them it was ok to put hypersexual alters on blast along with a bunch of other minors,

i didn't dm him trying to play "smash or pass" with strictly his sexual protector with my alters,

i didn't say tell the kid my boobs were a pillow for him,

i didn't try and push to set up one of my alters with someone who was already in a relationship,

i didn't try and guess the dick size of a 15 year old and say it in a public server,

i didn't constantly shift or push for nsfw conversations (not even for educational reasons) in a server full of minors,

i didn't talk about smoking weed or how high i am in a server full of minors,

i didn't accuse someone of faking just because they didn't use PK,

i didn't pressure to call with a 15 year old while he was on a birthday trip just to be high the whole time,

i didn't have sourcemates constantly flirt or "jokingly" hit on the 15 year olds alters,

i didn't have a crash out befause a 15 year old told me to try and figure out my alter identity myself even though he helped me every other time i asked,

i didn't rush the 15 year old to play fucking akinator while in class trying to guess who the new alter was,

i didn't lie and fake my death to someone who really couldn't be older than 13,

does anyone else like, experience conditioning with their trauma..like not programming, if that makes sense

i'm not sure if there's a huge difference between the two but certain phrases get specific reactions out of our system that we don't have any control over and it lowkey just feels like a force is making us react that way. idk. i always chalked it up to our mom conditioning us to act that way to make her life easier
