Still replaying the conversation? Bounds helps you work out what you want to say or do, then make sense of what happened afterwards. A boundary tracker for people-pleasing, the fear before you answer, and the guilt or second-guessing that can follow. When someone wants something from you Pause, check how the request feels in your body, and decide what you want. A genuine yes counts as much as a no. Phrases help you buy time, say no, or say yes on your terms. When something needs to change Describe what you would like to be different. Write your own words or choose your own next step, practise what to say if they push back, and pick a time to check in. After something happens Log what you did, from a clear no to going along with it, and whether it fit your needs. If you keep replaying the moment, work through the thought or choose a time to return to it. Your own record Keep your moments, plans and saved words together. See which situations keep coming back and how you responded each time. Daily readings explore guilt, fear, and the habit of putting everyone else first. A quiz helps identify your pattern. The prompts adapt to it. Your journal entries and saved phrases are stored locally on your device, without Bounds cloud sync. Community, purchases, usage analytics and crash reports use online services; diagnostics can include screenshots. If you buy on the web, your setup answers pass through our server to the app. Optional AI help, where available, sends the text you approve. The privacy policy explains these data flows and your controls. Annual and monthly subscriptions are available. Eligible annual subscriptions include a 7-day free trial.
