About

Sob Story

Go on, cry. I'll keep count. Sob Story is a tiny, kind tracker for your tears. No forms, no charts, no judgment — just a weeping sun, a palm that catches the tears, and a puddle that fills up as the month goes by. HOW IT WORKS • Hold the sun while you cry. The longer you hold, the bigger the cry: SNIFF, SOB or BAWL. • Blame it on something — work, the kids, a movie, missing someone, something cute — or type your own. • Let it go. Your tears pour into the month's puddle, and the reasons float in it — the more often, the bigger the word. SEE YOUR MONTH • A little calendar circles the days you cried. • Tap a day or a word to see what was going on. • Dive into the puddle to look back at earlier months, layer by layer. • Forgot to log yesterday? Tap + under that day and add it later. A LITTLE CARE After a big cry you'll get a gentle nudge — a glass of water, a slow breath, a text to someone who gets you. If the tears keep coming day after day, Sob Story gently points you to free helplines near you. YOUR TEARS STAY YOURS • No account, no ads, no tracking. • Everything lives on your iPhone and in your own iCloud — I can't see it. • Save a copy to a file whenever you like. Crying is normal. Not crying is fine too. Sob Story just keeps you company. Sob Story is not a medical app. If you're in crisis, please contact your local emergency number or a helpline.
