Manage your CDD with ease! [CANCELED INDEFINITELY]

A disability aid, made by a CDD system, for CDD systems. (Main @theseventhstrangersystem) (Banner is our CDD flag made over on @anti-endo-coining)

Introducing Pocket Plurality!

A Simply Plural inspired disability aid designed and in the process of being developed by a CDD system, for CDD systems, whether you have DID, PDID, OSDD, UDD, or are undiagnosed!

This app will feature a system profile, extensive alter profiles, front logging, journaling, and more!

The comments of this post are open for feature suggestions! Please let us know what you would like to see in Pocket Plurality!

Who is this app for?

As previously stated, this app is being designed and developed by a CDD system, for CDD systems to help manage and keep track of their disorder and it's symptoms!

Pocket Plurality is meant to be a safe space and aid for the disabled, so naturally it follows that the app and it's creator system are against ableism of any kind. We are strictly anti-endo and against any other lables under the endogenic umbrella (polymind/tulpas/sysplex/willos/mixed origins/median/etc).

Of course, endogenics and their supporters unfortunately cannot be stopped from using our disability aid, but we do not condone this behavior, and actively discourage it.

Meet the creator system!

Hello! We're @theseventhstrangersystem, and we're simply a diagnosed DID system with a need for a disability aid, and a desire to make the world a more accessible place for other disabled folks like us! We have recently picked up a passion for coding, and in light of Simply Plural— a disability aid we used daily to manage our disorder— being shut down, have taken it upon ourselves as a lone developer to create our, and hopefully many others', ideal CDD aid.

Release date?

Unfortunately, at our current point in development being very early on, we cannot give an estimated release date just yet outside of hopefully releasing the app sometime this year (2026), but please stay tuned for development updates along the way!

we hope you quit permanently and never come back, no one truly wants you here ❤

Actually I'm going to use this ask to relay an important update regarding the project, but first I must say, this did make us laugh, anon.

Now to completely ignore it because we couldn't care less. Onto the important stuff:

Ironically, and unfortunately, anon's wishes of the project to being canceled have come true. Not necessarily canceled forever; if we ever find interest in coding again and somehow gain the ability to work, the project will be brought back to life, but for now, indefinitely, likely for many many years, the project is canceled. Though the project may not be canceled forever, the reality is that theres a 99.9% chance it is canceled forever, so please don't get your hopes up. We apologize.

This is something we hate to say, we absolutely do not wish to let those who have been supporting us down, but months ago now, we as a system realized we were highly impulsive and overly ambitious in starting a major public project in a trade we essentially have zero skill in, especially when we're severely disabled. It was a project born of a passion and desire to help our community, and we care very much about it, but realistically? At our current point? We just can't see it ever being finished.

I know we've said it before: that we're disabled & mentally ill in numerous ways, so we wouldn't be able to work as efficiently as others can, but we now realize how deeply in denial we were of just how disabling our disabilities really are. We can't work. At all.

On top of being disabled, we experience severe executive dysfunction as a symptom of several of our mental illnesses + autism. We, our whole life, have started passion projects that shortly after get canceled due to executive dysfunction/project paralysis. Genuinely, we made a mistake ever publicizing this project when we should have known better, and we are deeply sorry to everyone we have let down. Unfortunately, we just aren't cut out for this.

We would genuinely love to be able to pick up this project again one day, but like we said: for many years to come, most likely forever, it's simply out of the question.

Once again, we deeply apologize.

(Btw anon why didn't you send this to our main @theseventhstrangersystem?? The main that, unfortunately for you, will never be going anywhere ❤️)

Hello! This post will offer transparency we feel we've failed to properly give, and will be addressing a few mistakes we have come to realize we've made. Don't worry, the project is NOT being canceled! However, this post does concern it's development. We absolutely hate that this post will probably disappoint and even upset alot of people, but these are statements that need to be made.

From the very start, the Pocket Partner project was privately decided never to become our profession or job and to explicitly remain a hobby and passion project, yet we've come to realize haven't exactly made that clear enough publically. On top of this, we feel we somewhat lost that promise to ourself along the way, and ended up feeling pressured to make it a more serious project with how it blew up in popularity and how dire the situation with CDD disability aids has become, even making a promise we didn't fully realize we couldn't realistically keep as a result of the pressure we put ourself under (this is totally on us, we are NOT blaming anyone else for the pressure we felt and the promises we made under that pressure that we now realize we can't keep.). These are mistakes we apologize for, hold accountability for, and believe need to be rectified immediately.

Firstly, we have talked about our skill level before, but we want to make sure it's absolutely clear. We are completely new to coding, only having gotten into it this year. As of writing this post, it's only the beginning of April. We've barely had any time to hone our skills at all.

We are not a professional by any means and the Pocket Partner project is a one-man passion project, not a professional development project. We do not have a set schedule in which we work on the project. We work on the project as best suits us and at our own discretion, meaning we work on it whenever we feel we have the time and energy. On top of this, we are also handicapped in numerous ways that other developers are not. We have multiple mental and physical disabilities that all significantly impair our ability to function, including our ability to work, and so our schedule must fit around that.

In tandem with the previous paragraph, recently we made the promise we would resume development by the start of next week and work on a set schedule through the whole week and beyond, but, as previously explained, this promise was a result of us feeling pressured to turn what was always intended only to be a passion project without a development schedule, into something much more serious. Once again, we want to make it clear that this is entirely on us; we're the ones who pressured ourself and lost our original intention of having no schedule under that pressure, and we're also the ones who neglected to make that original intention fully clear. We blame nobody but ourself, and we apologize for breaking this promise.

Given that the Pocket Partner project is a one-man passion project, we are very inexperienced as a coder and developer, and our disabilities significantly impair our ability to function and work, development will be slow. Though we would love to have the app out by the end of the year at most, we cannot promise that it will be. It could be out mid-2026, a year later, years later, or in the unfortunate (and unlikely! Don't worry!) event we have to cancel the project, never. There is no estimate we can give, at least not so early into development.

Lastly, again, we want to stress that we take responsibility for our mistakes and broken promise, and we sincerely apologize for this all. Thank you for reading!

How's the app going? Any idea when Beta testing will be opening? Both my girlfriend would be down to beta test when able if it's open :D

Thank you for your support! We have been taking a bit of a break from development so we don't get overwhelmed/for mental health reasons (We're ok! Just dealing with some things), but we plan to get back to work soon, likely the start of next week! This app is a passion project solo developed by a disabled person not too experienced with coding, so we have made sure to work at our own pace, and take breaks when necessary at our own discretion!

Unfortunately the app is still too early in development to tell when we can open beta, but we will definitely let everyone following us here know with an announcement when we do!

[pocket-partner]

will the app be on ios? i heard theres fees to have the app on the app store. we have an iPhone and just wonder if itll be on ios too or not💕

Hello! We will try our absolute best to put and keep the app on the iOS app store, but if we end up not being able to afford it, then the app will be Android exclusive. HOWEVER, there will be a website version available on browsers for all!

To help with the costs of keeping the app up and running, we will be opening most likely a patreon later in development!

[pocket-partner]

Will there be a forum for discussing features and beta testing outside of Tumblr? I know Discord is not a greatboption- just curious.

We probably will just end up doing an open beta, honestly! Discord will likely be what we do for community discussions though.

I.e. probably no forums, but open beta and Discord for communication discussions, yes.

Do note that as we are developing, there won't be a Discord server. Once development has reached the open beta stage, that's most likely when we'll open an official Discord! Moderating a Discord server at the same time as major development and other happenings in our life would unfortunately be too much for our solo developer self to handle 😓!

[pocket-partner]

Hello!! I hope this doesn’t sound rude or disrespectful, I’m asking out of genuine curiosity. Do you plan on, or currently have, a team working on this project with you? We’re a bit nervous that this either won’t get finished or will end up like Simple or Octo

We do not have a team and currently do not have plans to assemble one. We are a solo developer making a passion project, but trust me, we have no intention of letting our project end up like the other main CDD management apps.

We personally see what has happened with the current main CDD management apps as, whether intentionally so or not, ableism. A smaller part of the larger disabled community has just lost one of their main disability aids, and we find that greatly disappointing and upsetting.

Honestly, It'd be our dream to have this app running up until the day we die. That sounds like a joke, but genuinely, it'd be wonderful if we could have that kind of positive impact on the world for our community. Maybe whoever our future relatives are would even carry it on for us once we're gone, too! We really wouldn't mind this project being our legacy, since it's to help our own marginalized community.

will simply plural exporting work in full? asking to know if continuing to update my alters profiles on there is worth it if the custom fields wont transfer over

Yes! We plan to get importing and exporting data to and from other CDD management apps working in full!

[pocket-partner]

Hi! So for us we liked that in SP we could have groups inside of groups and so fourth. Would this app still have that? It helper so much with keeping things organized

Also due to the price of the apple store, if the app is unable to be on it could it be put on web as soon as it can?

Yes! Groups/folders were a core feature of Simply Plural for us, so it has been one of the main features planned from the start!

As for the web version, we actually have realized we have just enough to room to work on it at the same time as the app, so yes! Whether we can afford to put the app on the Apple app store or not, the web version will be out alongside the app!

[pocket-partner]

Just want to come in here to say we appreciate what you guys are doing! <3

Take your time, there's no rush

Thank you so much! We greatly appreciate it! <3

[pocket-partner]

Is there a discord server or will their be for updates?

We have answered this here!

[pocket-partner]

peeksaboo!! hope you and your progress are doing well :3 js wanted to ask a lil summit -- whaddya think about octocon's code being open-source? I'd luv 2 hear your opinion,,,,

from the @dissomuse !!

Hi friend!!! Thank you! We appreciate it very much!

As for our opinion, we think it's good! We do not like Octocon or it's creator for many reasons, but making their code open-source was one of the best things they could have done, so kudos for that, at least.

[pocket-partner]

Sorry if someone has asked this before, what programming language are you using? and do you know already if you need any future help for things like translating (we could provide a german translation)?

We are using the Dart programming language in Flutter! We thought Flutter would be the best route, given it allows multi-platform development at the same time!

Also thank you for the offer! We definitely will need help with translations later down the line, so we will likely try to find people we know and trust to help first, then for the remaining languages, possibly open applications to find other translators! Of course, we can't make translations for EVERY language, so the list will be kept down to some of the most widely spoken languages in the world.

[pocket-partner]

Will I be able to share front logs/front statuses?

How will listing switches work?

Yes, absolutely! Only by your own discretion, of course. There will be a privacy bucket feature like that of Simply Plural, with which you can set privacy settings for each alter, custom field, custom front, folder, and friend in your friends list! Hopefully that's what you meant by the second question! Apologies, we're not exactly sure what you mean ^^'

[pocket-partner]

hey so uhh when is the app finished?💔 i dont wanna rush you sorry but octocon is shut down too

We only started development this week, so... unfortunately it's going to be a little while... 😭

It's almost funny how all three major CDD management apps have announced their shutdown all in the same week. Almost. Can disabled people truly have nothing?

[pocket-partner]

hello hi! do you have a roadmap of things you want to get done first in terms of logging? for us personally, we do have a list of things we cannot find in any other plurality tracker (custom fronts, custom fields, image markdown for annotation, front analytics) and i’m curious if you are planning on implementing any of these things because they’re the biggest in terms of curation for large headcounts and comorbid systems that need to track symptoms with fronters. :0

Hello! Yes, all of these features have been planned from the start! We agree with you on how helpful and fun they all can be!

As for a road map, the first thing we're working on is UI and navigation around the app, and then we plan to start work on implementing features like those mentioned in your ask!

[pocket-partner]

one of the things that matters the most to us as a system is the ability to customize profiles as much as possible (for example, other than having a custom color, name, description and pfp, we enjoy having a background, or being able to customize our profiles in a similar way as MySpace, if that makes sense)

Can we ask what's planned in that aspect? we know we're pretty demanding so you don't need to feel pressured into having that level of customization, not if it puts too much stress on you

Unfortunately, I do not think we would be able to implement image backrounds for alter profiles or the system profile, but there will be profile pictures for essentially everything (alter profiles, system profile, custom fronts, custom fields, folders), custom colors, and markdown support for all text fields, including embedding image urls like you could in Simply Plural for most text fields (the only excluded fields for embedding images via url would probably be name and pronoun fields for everything).
