Your account
Optional, and it always will be. Everything on Inshirah works without one, including the courses, the practices and the page for when things are bad right now.
What an account adds
Three things a cookie on one device cannot do. Your saved practices and your notebook follow you to another phone. Your progress survives clearing your browser. And if you are seeing a therapist who uses Inshirah, you can choose to share some of it with them.
That last one is a choice you make once and can take back at any time, and you will always be able to see exactly what they can see.
Sign-in is not switched on yet. The accounts themselves are built and tested; what is missing is one credential from Google, which is a person’s job rather than a machine’s.
Nothing on Inshirah is waiting for it. Everything works signed out, exactly as it does today.
What stays private either way
- Your notebook is private by default. Nothing you write is visible to anyone unless you mark it shared, and marking it shared is per note.
- Nobody at Inshirah reads your notes. Administrators can manage accounts and content and cannot open a single clinical note. That is enforced in the database rather than promised in a policy.
- A therapist sees only what you shared, and only while the link is open. End it and their access stops on the spot, not at their next login.
- You can keep using Inshirah signed out. Nothing here is behind the account.
Inshirah is educational and is not therapy. Having an account does not create a therapeutic relationship with anyone.
