Your ex just texted. Do you reply? Wait? Say what, exactly? ZooMonkey is a breakup and reconciliation coach in your pocket — built on principles its founder has used with clients for over 13 years, and available at 2 a.m. when the situation actually happens. KNOW YOUR NEXT MOVE Every development gets a strategy: what it likely means, what to do about it, and what not to do. No guessing, and no advice from friends who already picked a side. DECODE THEIR MIXED SIGNALS He says he misses you, watches all your stories, then disappears for days. Upload the actual texts, screenshots, voice notes or photos and get a read on what is really being said. REAL-TIME GUIDANCE, 24/7 Breakups move fast and rarely at a convenient hour. Ask the moment something happens instead of waiting a week for an appointment. IT ALREADY KNOWS YOUR STORY You answer a set of questions when you join: what happened, how long you were together, where things stand now. Your coach starts from there instead of making you explain yourself from scratch every time. CHALLENGE YOUR MONKEY Argue with it. Push back on any answer that doesn't fit your situation. The more it understands both your circumstances and your personality, the better it coaches you — and none of it is judged. PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Conversations are saved and titled, so the thread you started on Tuesday is still there on Friday. Keep separate ones for separate things. YOURS, AND ONLY YOURS Sign in with your phone number. Your conversations, photos and voice notes belong to you, and you can delete your account — and everything in it — from your profile at any time. ZooMonkey offers coaching and support. It is not therapy and not a substitute for professional care, and no outcome with any particular person is promised. If you are in crisis, please contact a licensed professional or your local emergency services. Terms of Use: https://zoomonkey.com/terms-of-use/ Privacy Policy: https://zoomonkey.com/privacy-policy/
