Dose vs ReflectIt

Some days end and you realise you never really connected with your kid. Not because you didn't care — the day just went. DOSE gives you one small, specific thing to do together. Chosen for your child's age. Usually five to twenty minutes. WHAT YOU GET EVERY DAY • Two suggested activities per child, matched to their age • A conversation starter for the dinner table • For tweens and teens: a short message you can just send them Open it, pick one, do it. That's the whole app. 348 ACTIVITIES, SORTED BY AGE Ages 2–4, 5–8, 9–12 and 13–17. A toddler gets a sticker mission; a fifteen-year-old gets a co-op gaming session or a video edit challenge. Nothing suggested for your teen will feel like it was written for a five-year-old. Add your own activities too — the ones that already work in your family. FOUR KINDS OF CONNECTION Every activity is tagged with the feel-good brain chemical it leans on: • Dopamine — achievement, novelty, building something • Oxytocin — closeness, affection, being known • Serotonin — pride, recognition, feeling steady • Endorphins — movement, laughter, being silly together DOSE rotates the focus so you are not doing the same kind of thing every day. The Progress tab shows the balance across all four, so you can see if you have been all games and no warmth. 100 DINNER QUESTIONS Real conversation starters, sorted into Easy Starters, Silly & Funny, Would You Rather, Imagination, and Gratitude & Growth. For the nights when "how was school?" gets you "fine". 120 MESSAGES FOR TWEENS AND TEENS The age when they stop wanting to do activities is the age a text lands best. Short, sendable, not embarrassing. A STREAK WORTH KEEPING Tick off what you actually did. DOSE tracks the streak, forgives one missed day a week, and keeps a log of everything — including your own notes about how it went. Six months in, that log is the thing you will want to read. NO ACCOUNTS. YOUR KIDS' DETAILS STAY ON YOUR PHONE. No sign-up, no login, no email address. Your children's names, ages, your activity history and your notes are stored on your device and never sent to us. We could not read them if we wanted to. ONE PURCHASE, NOT A SUBSCRIPTION Try everything free for 7 days. After that, the Today tab and your streak stay free forever — the app never stops working. Unlock the full library, dinner questions, teen messages, history and progress with a single purchase. Once. Not monthly. For parents of one kid or five. Made by parents who kept meaning to do better and needed the reminder.

Find out what's actually driving you. Ten minutes a day, one honest conversation at a time. Most of what drives you happens before you notice it. The reaction that outran its cause. The yes you didn't mean. The thing you've been not-doing for two months. ReflectIt takes one real moment and goes underneath it. No flattery. No fluff. Just honest questions. REFLECT Bring something that happened, in your own words. ReflectIt reads what you wrote and offers a couple of honest ways in. You pick one. What follows is a guided conversation, not a form. One question at a time, each drawn from what you actually said. Most people find it names something they hadn't said out loud. UNDERSTAND At the end you get an analysis of what surfaced: the event, the reaction, and the pattern underneath. Not advice — a description of how you work. You can push back on it, or ask how it got there. TRAIN When a pattern keeps returning, ReflectIt turns it into something you can practice. Scenarios built from your own reflections put you back in the moment your pattern takes over. An actor plays the other person and pushes back the way people actually do. A coach stays with you and helps you find the words. You can get it wrong as many times as you like — that is the point. GO DEEPER Once there are a few reflections, there is enough to look across. ReflectIt reads them together and brings back one thing that doesn't add up — something you saw clearly in one part of your life and are not applying in another. One a day. You can say there's something in it, say it isn't you, or leave it for later. If it lands, you can take it into a reflection of its own and find out where it holds and where it doesn't. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT THE REAL ANSWER • You'd rather hear what's true than what's comfortable. • You're tired of having the same reaction to the same thing. • You want questions that go somewhere, not affirmations. REFLECTION TYPES — each one a different doorway Trigger — a reaction that outran its cause Self Critic — the voice that judges you hardest Avoidance — the thing you keep not doing People Pleasing — the yes you didn't mean Social Comparison — envy as a signal, not a verdict Decision Crossroads — stuck between two valid needs Weight — a heaviness with no name yet Anticipation — the event you're dreading Anger & Hurt — a clash with someone who matters Grief — an ending you haven't finished Regret — a choice you would take back Longing — a want you can't quite name Anchor — what steadies you Glow — a moment that went right PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your reflections are yours. Nothing is shared with other users. There is no feed, no profile, no comments, and no social feature of any kind. You can delete your account and everything in it from inside the app. WHAT IT ISN'T ReflectIt is not therapy and not a substitute for professional care. It does not diagnose or treat anything. If you are in crisis it will point you toward real help rather than pretend to be it.
