ChillMate is a calm, private companion for looking after yourself, with no judgment and nothing to prove. Whether you are planning ahead, checking in with yourself, or finding your feet again afterwards, it keeps the things that matter in one private overview that never leaves your iPhone. No ads. No tracking. Nothing sold. Just a quiet space that is yours. PLAN AHEAD - Set a simple plan for the night: when to head home, how you'll get there, what you want to keep in mind, and who to call if you need them. - Note the personal limits you want to hold, and let ChillMate gently remind you. - Keep clear, neutral wellbeing information from verified, official public-health sources close by. CHECK IN WITH YOURSELF - A private overview of your last three months: check-ins, sleep, mood, and rest in one calm view. - Gentle, non-judgmental insights that show patterns as neutral signals, never a score to feel bad about. - Optional Apple Health sync for sleep, heart rate, HRV, and workouts, only for the categories you allow. STAY ON TOP OF REMINDERS - Keep track of appointments, checkups, and medication timing. - Set your own reminders and follow-ups, on your schedule. REFLECT AND RECOVER - Gentle prompts for the days that follow, and a private journal for the harder moments. - A pause tool to slow things down and give a decision a little more time. - Daily affirmations if you want a softer landing when you open the app. HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT - Panic support with breathing and grounding exercises. - An emergency card, a trusted contact, and a one-tap location message. - Safe Route to help you get home, and quick links to crisis and health support services. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Your profile, notes, plans, and reminders are stored on your iPhone. - Add a Face ID or PIN lock, and turn on discreet notifications so lock-screen wording stays vague. - Optional encrypted backup to your own iCloud, accessible only to you. - No advertising, no analytics trackers, and your personal information is never sold or shared. ChillMate is a wellbeing and reflection tool. It does not diagnose, and it does not decide whether anything is safe. Its information is drawn from trusted public-health sources and is meant to support, not replace, a conversation with a qualified professional. If someone may be in immediate danger, call your local emergency number. Free, made with care, and built for adults.
