This exercise is like stretching, but for your brain, to generate self-validation, raise self-awareness, and practice self-kindness. We are not mood tracker or for passive affirmations. We are here to learn to re-focus on ourselves, instead of outsourcing self-worth from external factors, such as grades, productivity, functional, relationship...etc. We provide you a safe and private place to talk to yourself, to establish self-support. • Daily Entry • No matter how small, just write what you appreciate yourself for the day. If you forgot, it's totally fine. Just come back the next day! • Auto-suggestions • It might feel weird to give yourself credit, or sometimes you just don't feel like typing. We have prompts with auto-suggestions, you can also select ones that based on your energy level. • Card mode vs List mode • We want you to just focus on today. But if you want to see your past entries quickly, you can also swift to list mode for easier navigation. • Daily reminder • If you need daily reminder to write yourself a credit. You can set a time for the notification. • Query & Help • This is still a beta version and it's built by an individual, so there are still a lot to improve.

The moment you notice a negative thought, tap. That's it. No journaling. No long exercises. No prompts to fill out. Mendly is a real-time tap counter for negative self-talk — a simple tap every time your inner critic shows up, and a record of how often it speaks. Most people are surprised by their number. That surprise is often where awareness begins. CATCH IT One tap every time a negative thought appears. The act of catching it interrupts the pattern. Over time, the voice gets quieter when it knows you're listening. UNDERSTAND IT See your daily tap count, hourly patterns, and weekly trends. Discover when your inner critic is loudest — morning, evening, certain days — and notice why. REFLECT ON IT Record a short voice note after tapping. Say one kind thing to yourself. It takes 15 seconds and the habit gets easier faster than catching alone. SHARE IT Milestone badges and shareable cards mark the moments that matter. Send them to a friend, post them, or keep them for yourself. YOUR PRIVACY, PROTECTED Voice recordings are stored on your device. They are never uploaded, never shared, never analyzed. You can delete them anytime. Mendly is not a meditation app, a journal, or a mood tracker. It's the smallest possible tool for the biggest habit — noticing. 7-day free trial. Then $7.99/month or $59.99/year. Your Apple ID will be charged upon confirmation of purchase. To cancel, go to iPhone Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions → Mendly → Cancel Subscription.
