DD420 is a private wellness companion for veterans managing PTSD who also use cannabis for symptom relief. No judgment. No politics. Just tools. Your data never leaves your device. No accounts. No ads. No one is watching. DAILY CHECK-IN Track your PTSD symptoms using the same four clusters the VA uses — Intrusion, Avoidance, Mood & Thinking, and Alertness — in a guided, one-step-at-a-time flow built to feel less overwhelming. Rate each area honestly, log your mood and sleep, and note what triggered you. Takes less than two minutes, and your progress saves automatically if you get interrupted. Over time, your check-ins build a picture of how you're actually doing — not how you think you're doing. CANNABIS SESSION LOG Log each session with strain, method, THC and CBD content, timing, and — most importantly — why you used it and whether it helped. Select from 12 veteran-specific conditions including PTSD symptoms, chronic pain, sleep and insomnia, nightmares, anxiety, hyperarousal, and more. Each condition has its own curated list of effects to track. You'll start to see which strains, methods, and dosages actually move the needle for your specific symptoms. INSIGHTS Charts built from your own data. See your symptom severity trend over time, which PTSD clusters affect you most, how sleep quality relates to your symptom scores, how cannabis use correlates with next-day symptoms, and which conditions you use most. The more you log, the clearer the patterns become. COPING TOOLS Evidence-based tools organized by what you need right now. Breathing exercises, grounding techniques, progressive muscle relaxation, sleep visualization, and urge surfing — available any time, no subscription required. TOLERANCE BREAK TRACKER Set a break goal, track your progress day by day, and get coping prompts for cravings. Includes plain-language education on what tolerance is and what to expect during a break. 100% FREE Every feature in DD420 is free. Always. No subscriptions, no locked features, no paywalls. If you want to support development, an optional one-time tip ("Buy Me a Bag") is available in Settings — never required. BUILT FOR VETERANS Veterans Crisis Line: 988, press 1 — call or text directly from the app, one tap, any time. Chat: veteranscrisisline.net DD420 is not affiliated with the VA or DoD. It is not a medical app and does not diagnose or treat any condition. All data is stored on your device only.

Take the guesswork out of pet care. BestForMyPet analyzes your dog or cat's unique health profile, symptoms, and breed to surface scientifically-backed food and supplement recommendations — all in one elegant, easy-to-use app. Whether you're troubleshooting a symptom like a dull coat, low energy, or digestive upset, or you simply want breed-specific guidance for a new puppy or kitten, BestForMyPet turns pet food research into a few taps. WHAT YOU CAN DO Symptom & Breed-Based Recommendations Enter signs you're seeing — digestive issues, dull coat, low energy, and more — or search by breed alone to see curated food and supplement matches, including guidance on breed-specific risk factors. Real Cost to Feed See an estimated real-world monthly cost to feed for every recommended food, calculated from your pet's actual daily portion — then compare two or more foods side by side to see which one is actually more affordable before you buy. Ingredient Change Alerts We keep watching every food you're currently feeding. If the manufacturer changes the recipe or sources ingredients from a different country, you'll see it on your dashboard — with an exact ingredient-by-ingredient breakdown of what was added, removed, and unchanged — before you buy the same bag again. Recall Alerts If a food you're feeding is ever the subject of a public safety recall, BestForMyPet matches it automatically against official recall notices (by UPC and product name) and shows you the reason, lot numbers, and source — so you find out here, not from the news. Custom Nutrition Tracking Log meals and feeding schedules, monitor dietary transitions, track daily caloric intake, and watch health trends over time. Dynamic Pet Profiles Manage every dog and cat in your household from one centralized dashboard, each with its own medical history and dietary needs. Find a Store Locate real pet nutrition specialty stores near you and save a preferred store for faster reordering. AI Nutrition Consult Ask follow-up questions about your pet's food history, feeding schedule, and weight trends, and get personalized answers grounded in your pet's actual data. BestForMyPet is an informational platform designed to help you have better, more informed conversations about your pet's nutrition — it is not a substitute for veterinary care. Food suggestions and AI-generated content are based on publicly available data and user-submitted information; always consult a licensed veterinarian before changing your pet's diet or starting a new supplement. Estimated feeding costs are calculated from publicly available pricing data and are approximate — actual prices vary by retailer and location. Recall matching relies on publicly published recall notices and may not catch every recall; it is not a substitute for checking official recall sources directly. Download BestForMyPet today and bring a little more science to your dog or cat's next bowl.
