HeartKeep: Breakup Recovery

New: a mode for when it is not over and not okay. Log contact without shame, see your own patterns reflected back, and hold two truths at once. Private as always.

HeartKeep is a private, gentle companion for healing after a breakup, built around one quiet idea: see how far you've come. A garden that grows as you heal, daily check-ins, a journal for the texts you'll never send, and honest support even when it's complicated, with everything kept safely on your iPhone.

No account. No ads. No subscription. Ever.

WHY HEARTKEEP IS DIFFERENT Most breakup apps lock you into a $6.99/week subscription, push a robotic AI chatbot, and turn healing into an anxious streak you're afraid to break. HeartKeep does the opposite. It's calm, not addictive. It's yours, not the cloud's. And it's a one-time unlock at most, never a subscription. Your heart is not a monthly fee.

WHEN IT IS NOT OVER AND NOT OKAY Most breakups are not a straight line. Reconnecting, or wanting to, is one of the most common parts of a breakup. HeartKeep is the first breakup app honest about that middle.

• It's complicated mode meets you where you are, with no streaks and no judgment
• Log contact as it happens: who reached out, and how it felt after
• The Mirror shows your own patterns back: contact days, quiet days, and the mornings after
• The ledger holds contradictory wants side by side, because both can be true at once
• HeartKeep reflects. It does not advise. The goal is your own clarity, whatever you decide

A GARDEN THAT GROWS AS YOU HEAL

• Your journey grows a living garden. A new plant takes root for every stretch of healing you get through
• Watch each plant grow, tap to visit, and give each one a name
• Months in, you have a whole garden that shows how far you've come

NOT READY TO MOVE ON? THAT'S OKAY

• Choose a quieter HeartKeep: no streaks, no milestones, no pressure
• Switch anytime in Settings. Nothing is lost, and your garden keeps growing

WIDGETS, FOR THE MOMENTS BETWEEN

• Your garden on your home screen, and a days counter for your lock screen
• A one-tap "I'm struggling" button that opens the tools the second you need them

SEE HOW FAR YOU'VE COME

• A "Day 1, Day 30, Day 90" healing timeline that reframes the breakup as progress
• A gentle mood graph that quietly shows you getting stronger over weeks

A DAILY CHECK-IN, IN UNDER A MINUTE

• Slide to how you feel, then, if you want, name the exact emotion
• Words for the in-between: torn, tender, relieved, missing them
• Reminders can bring the day's question to your Lock Screen

A JOURNAL THAT MEETS YOU WHERE YOU ARE

• Gentle guided questions for every stage: grief, anger, self-worth, letting go, looking forward, and new questions for ambivalence and trust
• Unsent letters: say everything you never got to, without sending it
• "Text them, into the void": a message thread that feels like texting them, but never sends

SUPPORT FOR THE HARDEST MOMENTS

• "Before you reach out": a grounding moment for when you want to text them
• A calming 4-7-8 breathing exercise
• Add hard dates, like the anniversary, and HeartKeep helps you prepare the evening before
• Warm, realistic affirmations, never toxic positivity
• On the darkest nights, call or text a real person from right inside the app

OPTIONAL FAITH & STRENGTH

• If it helps you, turn on a daily Bible verse and a quiet space to pray
• Entirely optional, off by default, and easy to change anytime

TRULY PRIVATE, NEVER LOST

• 100% on-device. There is no account and no server
• No tracking, no ads, no data sharing
• Optional Face ID / passcode lock
• Free backup and restore, plus an automatic safety backup of your journal

HEARTKEEP PLUS (optional, one-time) Everything you need to heal is free. Plus is a small one-time thank-you that unlocks export: a beautiful PDF keepsake of your journal and a CSV of your check-ins. No subscription, ever.

HeartKeep is a personal self-care tool, not a substitute for professional help. If you are in crisis, please reach out to a qualified professional or a crisis line such as 988 (US). You deserve real support, and you don't have to do this alone.
