## What is #SelfCare?

Let's cultivate our sanctuary together.

As of January 2025, this phase of TRU LUV’s journey is concluding. Everything follows a natural cycle and we have reached the end of ours. This means there will be no new updates and #SelfCare will no longer be found in the app store. We are deeply grateful to have had the opportunity to create this sanctuary within your phone. 

As we evolve and enter a new cycle, we’d like to recommend a couple of our favorite free apps for you to try. We recommend Finch Pet for self-care companionship and Insight Timer for meditation and breathwork features we find soothing. We are sending you love as you continue your lifelong self-care journey.

With LUV,

TRU LUV

Our experimental app #SelfCare is here to comfort you. It's a safer space for whenever you need it. No pressure, no winning, no alerts and no streaks. We believe that love feels better than winning.

In #SelfCare, we invite you on a journey with the moon to explore our energies of celebration, curiosity, love, intention and care. You'll find soothing rituals where you can magically transform the color of your bedroom walls, seek guidance from your tarot cards and snuggle with your cat. You may experience feelings of calm, joy, connection or ASMR-like tingles as you tend to our rituals.

Some of our rituals include: 
- the tarot  
- the moon  
- our duvet cover 
- our walls  
- our bubbles  
- our massager  
- our familiar  
- our candle  
- our books  
- our locket  
- our laundry  
- our paper flowers

### 3/5 — I like it…listen to your consumers though

*2024-03-06*

3 years ago a guy wrote a review asking for gender neutral options on this app; this has been changed in no way, shape, or form 3 years later even with developer response. Especially for a self care app, people should have options that make them feel affirmed with it, and it should feel accessible for diverse groups of people. I do like this app a lot, you can use it in different ways that work for you. I like to use it as a journal. I really acknowledge the one review that says it isn’t conducive to self care, however, I think individual experiences of mental health vary and some people do find this helpful for differing reasons, myself included. There is even more evidence of consumers being recognized but no real action ever being taken than just this, I get the feeling this app has been put out and forgotten. Every time you wanna change your duvet cover you get the same luv not about some persons gramps which is super annoying. It has a lot of potential too. Listen to what people are saying and it could be even better! Or leave it in the dust to rot and it will fall off like a dead pimple, that’s always an option :/

### 5/5 — Thank you so much

*2023-05-09*

What you have here is so beautiful and I just wanted to say from the bottom of my heart thank you i’ve been in the app for at least 30 minutes every day for about three or four months now and Ive been moving around so much recently and it’s really making me feel like I still have a cozy little bedroom of my own it’s helping me through so much trauma I don’t lose any data I come back to my room and every little thing is untouched and exactly the way I left it it is truly one of my safe spaces The Taro cards are perfect and precise each time I pick one my diary has been helping me out the most and I could go on and on all day I absolutely love every little thing about this app the prices for the cute and decorative things are reasonable and not ridiculous and there are even free things thank you so much i’m pretty much given some thing free each day on my altarI am absolutely so grateful the only thing I would change is the ability to shut and open the blinds maybe be able to see the sun set outside or the moon depending on the time of day just fruit for thought 
Also a dreamcatcher in the room would be nice a customizable one where you could maybe record your dreams for lucid dreaming purpose  everything else though is absolutely perfect

**Developer response:** Hi there! We love that #SelfCare is resonating with you! Thank you for being so generous with your suggestions. We will add these to our wish-list. ❤️

### 3/5 — Used to love, can’t connect anymore

*2023-01-31, version 2.13.7*

I loved this app so much in the past.  My favorite thing was to start by picking a thought to put inside the locket, then moving on to other activities.  I loved that activity so much that I bought my own locket to carry a thought and some gemstones inside.

However, the messages that can be chosen for the locket changed a while ago to things that I don’t understand at all.  Maybe it’s because I’m neurodivergent and have trouble finding hidden meaning, but any of the messages that start with “we redistribute” are vague and make no sense to me.  Some of the ones that start with “we center in” are confusing as well.  These are so confusing that I no longer connect emotionally with the locket, and since that was my favorite thing, the rest of the app has lost luster for me as well.  It saddens me because this app got me through a really tough few months at the end of 2021.

I hope the locket messages are changed again to something easier to understand.  I would love to love this app again.

### 4/5 — please let me change the cat 😭

*2023-01-26*

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you for being so generous with your suggestions! We will add these to our wish-list ❤️

But recently I’ve been having a bug or sumn and I can’t open the app it just crashes every time and it’s been happening for the past few times I’ve tried playing. I’ve had this app for years and never experienced any issues so I’m just surprised it’s taking a bit long to fix but I do understand that it takes time and stuff can’t just happen so I respect it and hope it works out well for the developers n all and everything is okay xxxx
