Free provider-neutral test · about 10 minutes
Airplane Mode Day
Observe whether selected app actions work during one brief offline test. Use fictional data, keep the completed result private, and leave the conclusion narrow.
Made by the Vibbrancy team. This is a limited behaviour check, not a privacy grade, security review, diagnosis, treatment, or test of clinical suitability.
One synthetic entry · six observations
Run the brief test
- 1
Prepare
Write a fictional example before you open the app: “3/5 · calm · made tea”.
- 2
Disconnect
Enable airplane mode, then confirm Wi-Fi is also off.
- 3
Create
Add only the synthetic entry. Note whether saving appears to work.
- 4
Reopen
Close the app fully, reopen it, and look for the synthetic entry.
- 5
Change
If the app offers edit or delete, try it on the synthetic entry only.
- 6
Reconnect
Turn the connection back on. Record any visible change without guessing why.
Stop if the app asks you to expose real mood, journal, health, therapy, account, or identifying information. Delete the fictional entry when you finish if the app allows it.
What this can show
It can show whether the specific actions you tried appeared to depend on connectivity at that moment, on that device, in that app version. Record “worked”, “did not work”, or “not clear” for each action.
What this cannot prove
- Where data is stored or whether data ever leaves the device.
- Privacy as a whole, tracker absence, security, or legal compliance.
- Why an action worked or failed, or what happens outside the test window.
- Whether an app is suitable for health, clinical, or emergency use.

Take the checklist offline
No form, account, email address, upload, or answer submission is required. Use synthetic data and keep any completed checklist private.
Review boundary
Critique the method, not somebody's private result
Share the blank checklist or a fictional example, disclose that Vibbrancy made the test, and explain its limits. We welcome criticism of the wording or method. We credit a reviewer only with clear permission and never ask for endorsement or personal mood, journal, health, or therapy details.
