Mend Breakup
Read full descriptionHide full description
Breakups are isolating, and most apps make it worse โ toxic positivity, or No Contact streaks that reset to zero and shame you the moment you slip. Mend is the opposite. It's a minimalist, 100% local-first app built to help you get over a breakup gently, on your own terms. EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE No accounts. No cloud sync. No one watching. Your data never leaves your phone. A 90-DAY NO-CONTACT GOAL THAT WON'T SHAME YOU A calendar built around 90 days of no contact. Confirm each day, watch your progress grow, and celebrate when you reach 90. A slip is recorded honestly โ but it never resets your progress. This is a measure of time and healing, not a streak you can fail. A DAILY CHECK-IN Log how you're really doing โ heavy, tender, or steady โ and get one small grounding step for the day. We count the days you show up, never a streak. Bad days are never punished. SAY IT HERE INSTEAD The 2 a.m. text. The paragraph you keep rewriting. Write it all out, then keep it in a private vault to re-read later, or release it and watch it dissolve โ nothing sent, nothing you'll regret. GENTLE BY DESIGN An optional daily reminder, grounding encouragements, light and dark themes, and a one-tap reset. You are whole on your own. Mend is here for the in-between.

Breakup Reset helps you get through a breakup, one small step at a time. Going through a breakup is one of the hardest things you'll face. The urge to check their profile. The 3 am spirals. The days that feel identical and endless. Breakup Reset was built specifically for this: not as a therapy app, not as a productivity tool, but as a calm, intelligent companion that meets you exactly where you are. A PLAN BUILT AROUND YOU When you open the app for the first time, you answer a short quiz. Based on your answers, the app identifies your recovery personality: Reconnector, Guarded, Storm Rider, or Reset Builder. Every challenge, affirmation, and piece of support you receive is filtered through your type. This isn't generic self-help. It knows how you cope. DAILY CHALLENGES THAT ACTUALLY FIT YOUR DAY Every day you get three small, achievable challenges matched to your personality, your journey day, and how you're feeling right now. Some ask for a quiet moment. Some get you moving. Some have built-in actions, like a guided breathing exercise or a journal prompt, so you can complete them right inside the app. Set a reminder for later today, this evening, or a custom time. Tap the notification to jump straight to that challenge. Complete what you can, skip what you can't. No guilt. CHECK IN WITH HOW YOU FEEL At the start of each session, tell the app how you're feeling: sad, anxious, numb, angry, missing them, or okay. The app adjusts what it shows you based on your answer. If you're anxious, breathing comes first. If you're numb, distraction comes first. Your emotional check-in shapes everything. NO CONTACT TRACKER: PROTECT YOUR PEACE The no contact rule is one of the most effective tools for breakup recovery. It's also one of the hardest to maintain. Breakup Reset helps you track your no contact streak and shows it to you every day in Today's Pulse as a quiet reminder of the boundary you're keeping for yourself. JOURNAL: WRITE IT OUT, YOUR WAY Guided prompts, free writing, and challenge reflections, all in one private journal that stays on your device. Attach a photo to your entry. Record a voice note when writing feels like too much. Browse them in a full-screen viewer. Every reflection on a challenge is saved separately per day, so your Tuesday notes don't overwrite your Thursday thoughts. The app gently reminds you before you leave without saving. No more lost entries. HELP ME RIGHT NOW: FIVE WAYS TO RESET When things get overwhelming, tap "Help me right now" on the Today screen. You get five options: guided breathing (box breathing, 4-7-8, and more), take 100 steps, a quick journal moment, a calming affirmation, or a distraction activity. Choose what you need in the moment. Always one tap away. PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE Your milestones grow a bamboo plant. First journal entry, first full day, three days in a row, two weeks of no contact. Each one becomes a node on your bamboo. Your streak and no-contact days sit quietly at the top of your progress screen. No points for show. Just your story, growing. DAILY AFFIRMATIONS, MATCHED TO YOU Each day, you receive an affirmation matched to your personality type, your emotional state, and your journey day. Save the ones that land. Reflect on them in your journal. They change daily, so there's always something new. --- Breakup Reset is not a therapy app and does not provide medical advice. If you are in crisis, please reach out to a mental health professional or crisis service in your country.
