Editorial policy

Articles on the blog are published under the byline of Maxwell Drut, the founder of StellaLabs. The tools on the Skills pages are credited to the Stella team.

No article or tool here carries a “reviewed by” or “medically reviewed” line, because no clinician or other outside reviewer has reviewed them. If that changes, the reviewer will be named on the page.

When an article states a fact about the world, such as a statistic, a study or how something works, the rule since October 2026 is that the sentence links to a dated primary source we have read, or the sentence comes out. Older articles are still being brought up to that rule, so some contain statements without a linked source.

Tools may cite only a fixed list of publishers: the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley, Psyche, the American Psychological Association, the NHS, the World Health Organization, the National Domestic Violence Hotline, LawHelp.org, the US National Archives' Founders Online, and journal papers by DOI. Each source is printed under the section it supports, with its publisher and year.

Pages that compare Stella with other apps say that StellaLabs makes Stella, take what they say about the other app from that company's own pages, store listings or public records, and show the date those details were checked.

The articles and tools are general information. They are not medical, legal or crisis advice, and Stella is not therapy. Questions about a diagnosis, a medication or a legal matter belong with a qualified professional.

If you are in crisis in the US, call or text 988. If you are in immediate danger, call your local emergency number.

Each article shows the date it was first published. Articles changed since November 2026 also show an “Updated” date. The rule is that it moves when the substance of the page changes, such as a correction, a new source or a new section. Adding a link, or changing layout or markup, does not move it.

Tool pages show the date they were last updated. Where a page reports another company's product details or prices, it shows the day they were checked.

If you find a mistake, email hello@stellalabs.ai with the page address and what is wrong. A correction to an article changes its Updated date. Other questions go to Support.
