A place to let it out and find your words when things get tense with someone you care about. Write what's going on, however it comes out. You don't need an account. Mend is communication coaching for the hard conversations with the people closest to you: your partner, your family, your friends, or the work that spills into your personal life. It's inspired by Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication and John Gottman's research on relationships. THREE SPACES, DEPENDING ON THE MOMENT COACH · To understand and prepare Tell it what happened, or what you're struggling to say. Coach helps you see the situation from where you stand and from where the other person stands. It doesn't tell you what to say: it helps you find your own words. When it's worth it, it leaves you a line to take with you. NOW · For what can't wait When you're in the middle of it and about to say something you'll regret. Breathe with a guide, or say what's going on, without judgment. Nothing you write in Now is saved. RITUAL · One minute a day A short pause to see how you're doing. My journey shows how you've been feeling over time. Each day you complete your ritual or stay with a Coach conversation, you earn a paper crane. The widget keeps count on your Home Screen. FREE • Breathe in Now • The daily ritual and your cranes • My journey for the last 7 days • Help finding a support line in your country MEND PREMIUM • Unlimited Coach replies • Now, whenever you need it • Your whole journey: 30 days and all your older entries Mend Premium includes a 7-day free trial for eligible accounts. Your subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Cancel anytime in your Apple account settings. PRIVACY To reply to you, Mend uses AI from Anthropic: what you write in Coach and Now is sent to generate the reply. Creating an account is optional. Mend is a communication tool and is not a substitute for care from a mental health professional. If you're in danger, call your local emergency number.
