Turn therapy sessions into private notes, clear recaps, and meaningful reminders you can revisit between appointments. Undertone is built for people already in therapy. It helps you hold onto what mattered, reflect between sessions, and come back to your next appointment with more continuity. Capture or upload a session, get a clean summary, save what you want to remember, and prepare for what to bring up next time. THERAPY SESSION NOTES  • Record or upload session audio  • Get a clear session summary with key themes, insights, and next steps  • Keep past sessions organized in one place BETWEEN-SESSION REFLECTIONS  • Revisit meaningful Moments from past sessions  • Save thoughts, questions, and topics to bring into therapy  • Keep homework and follow-through items easy to find  • Review what came up without digging through scattered notes PRE-SESSION BRIEFS  • See what you talked about last time  • Review what you planned to work on  • Bring forward important thoughts from the week  • Walk into therapy with more continuity, not a blank slate A CALMER WAY TO STAY CONNECTED TO THERAPY Therapy can move quickly. Important insights, patterns, and next steps are easy to forget once the session ends. Undertone gives you a private space to return to the parts of therapy that matter most, so the work does not disappear between appointments. Undertone is not a therapist, crisis service, or diagnostic tool. It does not provide medical advice or replace professional care. It helps you organize, revisit, and reflect on the care you already receive. Undertone is built using HIPAA-aligned workflows.

GymPal is a mobile app that keeps you accountable for going to the gym by having you check in every time you go. GymPal requires a subscription to use. One subscription covers you and your gym partner. See SUBSCRIPTION below for details. GymPal pairs you with a gym partner, or a small squad, and keeps you all honest. Together, you set your own rule for how many times a week you have to show up, and a wager for whoever falls short: a round of drinks, a dinner, cooking for the other, or anything you agree on. Wagers are between friends and never involve money. Check in at the gym, snap a quick photo to prove it, and your partner sees it instantly on a widget right on their home screen. Miss your week and you break the streak you share, not just your own. Instead of tracking stats or metrics, GymPal focuses on one thing: showing up, with a partner who will notice if you don't. HOW IT WORKS (subscription required) 1. Pick your gym partner. Invite a friend and you're paired. You can grow into a small squad later. No feed, no crowd of strangers, just people you know. 2. Set your weekly rule. Together, choose how many times a week you each have to go to the gym. 3. Check in when you get there. Check in at the gym and snap a quick photo to prove you made it. Your partner sees it instantly. 4. See it on your home screen. GymPal's widget shows your partner's latest check-in right on your home screen, so you always know if they showed up. And they always know if you did. 5. Keep the streak alive. Every week you both hit your rule, your shared streak grows. Miss your week and you break it for both of you, not just yourself. 6. Put something on the line. Agree on a wager for whoever falls short: a round of drinks, a dinner, a favor. You pick the stakes. No money involved. WHY PEOPLE LOVE GYMPAL Accountability that actually works, because someone is watching. People you know, not a whole social network. Simple and fast, with no stats or tracking required. Real proof you were there, not just a tap. Makes the gym feel like a plan you can't flake on. Whether you're just getting started or trying to stay consistent, GymPal makes sure you show up, because your partner is counting on you. SUBSCRIPTION All GymPal features — check-ins, weekly rules, shared streaks, wagers, nudges, the home screen widget, badges and the leaderboard — require an active GymPal subscription. • GymPal Weekly and GymPal Yearly auto-renewable plans are available. Prices are shown in the app before you subscribe. • One subscription covers you and your gym partner. • Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase, or at the end of the free trial if one is offered. • Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID account settings.
