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.

Never miss your birth control pill again, and let someone you trust have your back. Pilly is a simple, private birth control pill reminder with one thing no other app has: if you forget a dose, your partner can be notified. Because contraception is something you can carry together. WHY PILLY • Daily pill reminders that actually reach you, with follow-ups if you miss a dose • Partner alerts: your partner is notified only if you forget. You choose to link, and you can unlink anytime. • Streaks & history: see your consistency at a glance • Private by design: only you and the partner you choose ever see your data NOT A TRACKER, A REMINDER Pilly isn't a fertility or period tracker. It does one job and does it well: helping you take your pill on time. PRIVACY FIRST Your data stays between you and the partner you choose to link. Nothing is ever sold. Pilly is a reminder and organiser. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice — always follow your prescription and your doctor's guidance.
