## What is do not text them?

About to text them? Open this app instead.

This is a small pause between impulse and send.

WHAT YOU GET

• Situation-based reminders — Choose what fits (late-night impulse, mixed signals, closure, and more). Each situation has its own deck of quotes so the message actually lands.

• Unsent text help — Paste the draft you almost sent. Get a short, grounded perspective on why it can stay unsent. Your drafts save on your device so you can come back when the urge spikes again.

• “I didn't text him” — Tap when you resisted. A little celebration, because not sending is the win.

• Another quote — Shuffle a new line in your situation.

• iPhone Home Screen widget — Keep your current reminder on the Home Screen. Medium widget (iOS 17+): shuffle quotes and log “I didn't text him” right from the widget. Small widget: your quote at a glance; tap to open the app. Quotes stay in sync when you return to the app.

• Private by design — No account. No ads. Your situation, quote progress, and unsent drafts stay on your phone unless you use the optional coach (see Privacy Policy).

WHEN TO USE IT

You typed a paragraph at 2 a.m. You want to “check in” after ghosting. You’re negotiating with yourself about one more message. You don’t need a lecture—you need one clear line and permission to close the thread.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Pick the situation that fits closest.
2. Read one reminder (or add the widget so it’s always visible).
3. If you already wrote the text, open Unsent text instead of Messages. Get a new perspective.
4. Tap “I didn't text him” when you choose not to send.
