Creator-only
Private Moments stay visible only to the person who recorded them.
KnowMyWhy Personal
The personal closed beta gives young people, parents and carers a calm place to capture what happened now, add context later and build a clearer picture over time. It can be used without a school or professional account.
What the current beta offers
Some moments are easier to notice than to describe. KnowMyWhy separates capturing from explaining, so reflection can happen at a pace that feels more manageable rather than demanding a full account in the moment.
Inside the current closed beta
These are current screens from the working beta, captured with fictional example content. The interface will continue to change as testing develops.
Connections & sharing
A parent or young person can use KnowMyWhy entirely on their own. If they choose to connect with family or a professional, authorised accounts can see shared information around the same young-person record.
Linking is deliberate: an invitation is claimed, then approved before access is granted. Removing a connection stops that access without deleting the young person’s history.
Private Moments stay visible only to the person who recorded them.
Shared Moments can appear in the chronology for currently linked accounts. No automatic alert is sent.
Families can keep using KnowMyWhy whether or not a school chooses to connect.
A personal record, not a verdict
Reflections can help someone prepare for a conversation, remember what has helped before or put their experience into words. They should not be used to diagnose, predict or make decisions without the person.
The person’s language, preferences and meaning remain central, including when a parent or trusted adult contributes their own view.
Recording a short Moment first and returning later can reduce the pressure to process and explain while something still feels intense.
Private and shared information are kept distinct, so connection does not mean every reflection is automatically visible to everyone else.
KnowMyWhy is not a medical, diagnostic, therapeutic, safeguarding or emergency service. Closed-beta privacy, account and deletion controls continue to be tested before wider release.
Closed beta
We are prioritising real-world feedback before wider release. You can share what feels useful, unclear or missing from the current beta.
