About

Tihi

Read full description

Tihi is a minimalist app for silent, instant communication when words are hard. Send pre-set signals or custom messages to your support person with a single tapβ€”no explanations needed. Perfect for neurodivergent individuals, people experiencing anxiety or overwhelm, students needing discreet support, and their caregivers, teachers, or support partners. Choose from built-in signals like Overwhelmed, Need Break, Need Quiet, Need Help, Can't Focus, Sensory Overload, Need to Move, Need to Talk, I'm Good, or create your own custom messages. Connect two ways: Local Mode uses Bluetooth/WiFi for nearby communication (no internet required), or iMessage Mode sends signals anywhere in the world through Messagesβ€”perfect for remote support or family members in different locations. Signals arrive instantly with notifications and haptic feedback, even when the receiver's phone is locked. Review signal history to identify patterns, and rest assured all communication is privateβ€”no data collection, no accounts required. Real examples: A student silently signals their teacher for a break. A child alerts their parent they need quiet time. Someone with anxiety discreetly asks for support during a meeting. College students or adults living independently can reach their support network anywhere via iMessage. Tihi was designed with input from neurodivergent individuals to remove the barrier of finding words and provide a simple, dignified way to ask for support. Note: Tihi is a communication tool and not a substitute for professional medical or therapeutic support.

Reach Your Emotional Balance. You're exhausted but can't explain why. Or you crashed again before you saw it coming. Battery.me helps you understand your emotional energy so you can act before it's too late. Inspired by Dr. Tony Attwood's energy accounting research, it's a simple, low-effort tool for anyone seeking better emotional awareness. Especially helpful for those who find traditional mood tracking difficult. Emotional Energy, Visualized as a Battery Just like your phone, your emotional energy has a charge level. Meetings, conversations, tasks, everything affects it. Battery.me tracks what depletes you and what recharges you, making invisible patterns visible. Simple, Event-Based Tracking Instead of asking "How do you feel?", often difficult to answer, battery.me asks "What happened?" This simple approach reveals patterns you might never notice otherwise. How It Helps 1. LEARN what actually discharges you. It's not always what you'd think: find the patterns. 2. DECIDE wisely: if you're already low on battery, better not to engage in critical tasks. 3. BALANCE your emotional state by deliberately introducing recharging activities when needed. Based on Expert Frameworks battery.me's event-based approach draws inspiration from Dr. Tony Attwood's energy accounting research and Christine Miserandino's Spoon Theory, proven frameworks used by therapists and individuals worldwide. Who It's For: - People who feel drained but can't pinpoint why - Anyone managing energy-demanding situations - Those who struggle identifying emotions (alexithymia) - Autistic people tracking their energy patterns - Neurodivergent individuals preferring concrete data - People who relate to Spoon Theory - Anyone seeking emotional wellness through patterns Built by someone who needed it Total Privacy - No email or personal information needed - Anonymous authentication with PIN security - Zero tracking, ads, or data selling - GDPR compliant - Your energy data stays private, always
