Why should I install the app? How many times did you think that you did not hear enough about how beautiful you are? Or that you want to start your day with a smile? If you want to read something tender about yourself every day or every hour, this is the application for you. It consists of a compilation of compliments, that will bring you happiness and will remind you there is nothing more important than you and only you. Or your one true love. How does it work? “Tender compliments” is an application, that sends compliments to your phone at a period of time chosen by you. When you install the program you can choose two modes of work - “on schedule” or “surprise”. With the first, the program sends a compliment at a period chosen by you, for example, every 24 hours. This way you can receive the first nice words for the day with your morning coffee or at the end of a long and tiring shift at work. With “surprise” mode this is exactly what you will receive – the program sends a compliment in a various period of time – every day, 6, 8, or 12 hours. For example, if you choose “every six hours” you will receive a compliment during these 6 hours, but without knowing when exactly. Why it is also for men? The application “Tender Compliments” targets women, but it can also be used by their other halves. Using the function “Send a compliment” you can always remind your girlfriend or wife, how much you love her or choose the best greeting for a holiday. In order to do that when you receive a compliment, you can choose to send it as a text to her phone. Even more – you can “personalize” the text by adding something else that is important for HER to know. What else? “Tender compliments” consists of a great compilation of compliments, but you can also become an author of them. With the function “add compliment” you can write your own or delete the ones you do not want to receive. This way you will end up only with the ones that bring you a smile.a ...Because you need to hear often how beautiful you are.

Renovyn is an addiction recovery app and sobriety tracker built for real life. Count your sober days, spot what sets you off, and reach your people the moment it gets hard. Addiction doesn't wear a label. Neither does recovery. Wherever you are right now, Renovyn meets you there. In a fellowship. Going it alone. Or holding someone up while they find their feet. No judgement. No lectures. Just the tools and the people that help, when you need them. We've got you. ONE DAY AT A TIME Track your time clean across gambling, alcohol, drugs, pornography, nicotine and vaping, gaming, spending, and more. Mark every milestone, from your first day to your first year and beyond. Check in daily with how you're feeling and what set you off. Journal, count your gratitude, and work your inventory, all built for the real thing. WE'VE GOT YOUR BACK Mark the places that pull you under, and we'll warn you before you get close. Shield filters out harmful content at the source. If you linger somewhere risky, we'll quietly let you know. And we've mapped the known hard spots so you don't have to.

Add the partners and sponsors who keep you honest. Share where you're at with people who understand. HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT Reach 45 crisis helplines and more across the UK, US, Ireland, and the EU.

SOS, RIGHT HERE One tap, on every screen. Breathe and ground yourself with guided exercises. Reach a helpline or your people in seconds. NOT AN EMERGENCY SERVICE Renovyn is not a crisis service and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
