48% of people say yes when they mean no. You already know which one you are. You learned to say yes to stay safe. It's a nervous system pattern, not a personality flaw. And it can be unlearned. Bounds is the first app built specifically for people-pleasing recovery. 7-day free trial included. If This Sounds Like You • You say yes, then spend the whole evening annoyed at yourself for it • You go quiet and agreeable the moment there is conflict. That is the fawn response, not a personality • You can say exactly what everyone else needs, and not what you want • The anxiety arrives before you have even answered • You have read about codependency, anxious and avoidant attachment, and recognized yourself in all of it None of that is a character flaw. Setting boundaries is the part everyone talks about. Knowing which answer is actually yours is the part that makes it possible. Ninety Seconds of Clarity When a boundary moment hits, open Bounds: • Breathe - a guided pause. Space before your brain says yes. • Feel where it lives - jaw, stomach, chest. Your body knows before you do. • Get the words - scripts for your exact situation. Words you can actually say. • Decide - yes or no, both celebrated equally. What Changes • Say no without the guilt spiral • Know what you actually want, not just what everyone else needs • More honest relationships • A quieter mind at night • Energy for what actually matters • Proof it's working - patterns that shift week over week Built for Your Pattern A 2-minute quiz identifies your people-pleasing type - guilt, fear, achievement, habit, or identity. Everything adapts: the scripts, the reflections, the way the app talks to you. • Personalized scripts - for work, family, friends, dating, money, and yourself • Evening reflections - process the day in under a minute • Weekly reviews - see which people and situations trigger your automatic yes • Recovery timeline - 5 phases from awareness to integration • Morning intentions - set your focus before the requests start Five Therapy Frameworks CBT, DBT, Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, and ACT. Not a wellness app - structured, therapy-grade boundary work. 100% local. Your decisions and reflections never leave your device. No account. No cloud. It's okay to have needs. Start with one decision. See what changes. Subscription The quiz and your result are free. The app then opens with a 7-day free trial, and after that a subscription is needed to use the full app. It renews automatically at the price shown in the app unless you cancel before the trial ends.

Your pill's passport. You're abroad, you reach into your bag for your usual headache pill, and the label is in a language you don't read. Or you're packing for a trip and wondering whether your prescription is even sold where you're going. Pillo answers both questions in seconds. Pillo is a travel companion for medicines. Type any brand or active ingredient and Pillo shows you what it's called in the country you're in right now - plus what it's called back home, side by side - so you can say the right word at either pharmacy. Covers India, the USA, the UK, Australia, and the UAE. WHY YOU'LL USE IT * Identify medicines by name, pill photo, or package scan. * Check availability before you buy - OTC, pharmacist-only, prescription, controlled, or unavailable. * Find local equivalents when travelling. * Get country-specific warnings for medicines that differ between regions. NAME LOOKUP Search by brand name or active ingredient. Pillo shows matching local brands, availability information, and country-specific guidance. SCAN A PILL Take a photo and Pillo uses on-device OCR to read imprint codes, estimate shape, colour, and size, then compare results against a curated database. When no imprint is visible, Pillo provides an appearance-only suggestion clearly marked as low confidence. SCAN A STRIP OR BOTTLE Point your camera at medicine packaging and Pillo extracts the medicine name automatically. LIVE LOOKUP For medicines outside the bundled travel database, Pillo queries NIH RxNorm / RxNav and openFDA data sources to provide ingredient and availability information. MY MEDICINES Save medicines once and Pillo automatically updates local brand names whenever you switch countries. APPLE INTELLIGENCE On supported devices, on-device Foundation Models generate a short traveller briefing for each medicine. A curated offline guide is used when Foundation Models are unavailable. EMERGENCY MODE Quick access to local emergency numbers, nearby pharmacies in Maps, and emergency reference information. SIRI & SHORTCUTS "Hey Siri, find a medicine in Pillo." PRIVATE BY DESIGN Pill scans run on-device. Traveller briefings run on-device. Pillo does not require an account, does not track users, and does not upload medicine lists. Pillo is a reference tool, not a medical device, and not medical advice. Medicine identification may be incorrect, especially when pills do not have readable imprints. Always confirm with a pharmacist or doctor before taking, switching, or stopping any medication.
