Put a thought into words, turn it into a bubble and toss it off the screen. Throw it gives you a small, personal ritual for pausing during a busy day. WRITE, TAP, RELEASE Write what's on your mind. Tap your bubble to activate it, then drag and throw it away. When you release it, its text is removed from the app's current local records. TAKE A BREATH Follow visual breathing cues with eight rhythms and sessions of 3, 5 or 10 minutes. Pause, resume or stop whenever you choose. Thought release and these breathing options are available without a purchase. MAKE THE SPACE YOURS WITH THROW IT PLUS An optional one-time, non-consumable purchase unlocks: • Three extra illustrated spaces: a rainy window, forest cabin and moonlit coast. • Four ambient soundscapes: rain, forest, waves and fireplace. • Custom breathing sessions from 1 to 20 minutes. • Up to 20 saved rituals combining your space, sound, volume, rhythm and duration. Plus has no subscription or recurring charge. You can restore your purchase using the same Apple Account. PERSONAL BY DESIGN No account is needed. Thought text stays on your device and is not sent to us or analyzed. Active thoughts are saved locally until you release them. Device backups may include local app data. Sound and haptic feedback are optional. Throw it is for personal reflection and general wellbeing. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Throw it at none against ReflectBay's 6. Throw it also leads on ads (none vs shown). ReflectBay's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 15 months) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
