Technical Case Study
The Challenge
Navigating relationships in recovery is high-stakes emotional work. The user needs a safe space to draft difficult conversations ("scripts") and a journal that feels completely private. Standard cloud-syncing apps feel too risky for this level of vulnerability.
The Architecture
Boundaries+ is architected as a digital sanctuary. I utilized a "Local-Only" database strategy to ensure that journals and scripts never leave the user's device.
- Core Tech: React Native (Expo) allows for a consistent, calming UI across both iOS and Android devices.
- Absolute Privacy: Data persistence is handled by an encrypted local SQLite database. No API calls send user content to the cloud. Zero data liability.
- On-Device AI: The "Boundary Workshop" uses a small language model running locally to help users refine their scripts without compromising privacy.
- UI/UX: Designed with a "Calm Tech" philosophy—soft transitions, readable typography, and clear actions to reduce anxiety during use.
