CIRO — Check In. Reach Out. CIRO is a gentle, simple app designed to support you during difficult moments — especially when reaching out feels hard. When emotions feel overwhelming, finding the words or making a call can feel like too much. CIRO helps lower that barrier by giving you an easier way to let someone know you need support. Key Features: Press & Hold Alert CIRO’s main feature is a single button you can press and hold to notify your chosen emergency contact. No phone calls. No typing the “right” message. Just a simple way to signal that you need help. Mood Check-Ins Take a moment to check in with yourself and track how you’re feeling over time. CIRO makes it easy to notice patterns and stay more aware of your emotional well-being. Personal Safety Plan Create a safety plan that’s tailored to you — including coping strategies, grounding reminders, and important contacts — and access it whenever you need it most. Designed for Hard Moments CIRO was built with the understanding that when you’re in distress, even small tasks can feel overwhelming. The app focuses on simplicity, speed, and compassion — helping remove pressure, friction, and guesswork during vulnerable moments. CIRO does not replace professional care, but it can be a supportive tool to help you pause, check in, and reach out when you’re struggling. You don’t have to go through difficult moments alone. Check in. Reach out. CIRO.

Rescript is a private place to write letters to whoever you can’t reach — the person you’re trying to stop loving, someone you lost, the version of you who had a title, or the thought that won’t leave you alone at 2am. No one else will ever read them. WRITE THE LETTER Choose who it’s to, then start from the moment you’re in: the 2am thought, Day 1 of no contact, their Spotify, “Should I text?”, the message you’ll never send. Add a photo if you need to. Rescript leaves one gentle question in the margin — a P.S. that changes as you write — and then it stays quiet. It isn’t a chatbot. It won’t talk back. THEN DECIDE WHAT HAPPENS TO IT Every letter ends with a choice. • Keep it on your desk to come back to. • Release it, and watch it drift away. • Burn it, and watch it turn to ash. Released and burned letters are permanently deleted. Not archived. Not searchable. Gone. COUNT THE DAYS YOU DIDN’T TEXT Set your no-contact date and your desk keeps count — Day 1, Day 7, Day 47 — beside every letter you wrote instead of sending one. WHEN A LETTER ISN’T ENOUGH • Heal through writing — a structured, guided program, one session at a time. Your draft is saved if you need to stop. • Be mindful — an open-ended daily page for the harder days. • Guides — articles, videos and books for the parts nobody prepares you for. • Export your letters as a PDF, sent to your email. FOR THE THINGS YOU CARRY ALONE The breakup you can’t stop thinking about. Grief that doesn’t keep a schedule. No contact, Day 1 or Day 147. The 2am thought. The thing you can’t say to anyone in your life. Rescript isn’t therapy and doesn’t replace care from a professional. If you’re in crisis, the Help tab lists crisis resources. Some features, including Burn it, the guided program and daily reflections, need a Rescript subscription.
