Free, whenever you need it

Your count, live. Each time you reach out or reply, this count restarts from that contact, even on the same day. Your history and earned skies stay. Necessary contact does not restart it. Want to text them? Ten quiet minutes, a note from you and a place to write instead. Your words stay in “What I didn’t send”. They wrote first? Pause before answering. The guide to the pause before their profile helps you put it within reach; it never blocks another app.

Nearstep Plus: a plan before the hard moment

It is 11 pm and you want to text them. With “If the urge comes”, the step you chose on a calmer day is already at the top of the pause. Plus also helps you prepare for hard dates and necessary encounters, make space on your phone, and see when urges tend to arrive. One purchase at the price your store shows, with no subscription.

Your words stay on your phone

Your words are encrypted on your phone. No account or cloud sync. No analytics of your content. No AI reading your text. Export or delete your records from Settings. Reminders are optional and never show your private words.
