In development

8:47 PM

You yelled.Now the house is quiet, and you’re sitting outside their door.

Mend is a self-guided tool, still in development, for the twenty minutes after you’ve lost your temper with your child — when you want to make it right and aren’t sure what to say.

Being built for parents and caregivers of children roughly 2–12. There’s nothing to download yet.

How it works

It starts after the shouting.

Mend isn’t meant for the middle of an argument. It’s being designed for the quiet that comes after, when there’s room to decide what to say next.

8:39Third ask. Shoes still off.
8:47Voices rise.
9:04Door closed. Quiet hallway. Mend starts here.
9:40Lights out. What to say next is still on your mind.

An illustrative evening, not a real user’s.

Step 1
Pause
Take a minute before you go back in. Mend is being designed to offer one short, unhurried prompt: a place to sit and let things settle, with no timer pressure and no score.
Step 2
Reflect
Note what happened in a couple of taps: what set it off and how big it felt. It’s meant to take seconds, and it’s yours to skip.
Step 3
Find words to reconnect
Choose from gentle, age-appropriate ways to say it — then change them until they sound like you. The aim is to help you say what you actually mean.

Illustrative — 9:04 to 9:24 PM

One way twenty minutes might go.

Drag the ring, use the arrow keys, or tap the step buttons to preview what Mend might offer at different points. People settle at different speeds and repair doesn’t follow a clock, so this is a sample, not a schedule.

Illustrative only. Drag around the ring, or use the arrow keys.

Right after · around minute 0–2

Sit down. Nothing to decide yet.

Mend would start by asking nothing of you. A quiet moment, and permission to wait before going back in.

Sample wording“You don’t have to fix it this second.”

Examples — sample data

Two small things Mend might do.

Both examples below are made up for this page. They aren’t from a real person, and nothing here has been tested with real families.

Example 1 · WordsSample text

What you might start with

I’m sorry I yelled but you never listen to me and I asked you four times.

A version a child might be able to hear

I yelled, and that was too big. You didn’t do anything wrong. I was frustrated, and that’s mine to deal with.

Meant to help you say what you actually mean — not to win an argument or script a reply.

Example 2 · A weekly pattern viewSample data — not a real person’s logs

In this sample week, 5 of 6 hard evenings came after a short night.

After a short night5 of 6
After 8:30 PM4 of 6
After a third ask3 of 6
Solo bedtime2 of 6

Illustrative only. A pattern across a few entries doesn’t show why something happened; it’s just something you might choose to notice. Mend wouldn’t diagnose anything.

Who’s building this

One person, said plainly.

I’m Amir, building Mend on my own in North Vancouver. I’m 22, I’m a student, and I don’t have children, so I won’t pretend to know your 9 PM from the inside.

My plan is to have a registered clinical counsellor review the app’s language before anyone uses it. No reviewer has been signed yet, and nothing has been reviewed. When that changes, the About page will say so by name.

What Mend is not.

Not therapy, and not a therapist. Mend is a self-guided tool for reflection and repair. It does not diagnose, treat, or counsel, and it is not a substitute for care from a licensed professional. If you’re working with one, you could bring what you wrote to them.
Not a crisis service. If anyone in your home is in danger right now, close this and call your local emergency number.
Not built to help you win. The planned app will not help anyone script, pressure, monitor, or manage another person’s behaviour — including a partner’s.
Not a way to sell your private words. The planned app’s logs will need a clear, reviewed privacy policy before anyone is asked to use them. Today, this website collects no logs.
Not silent about harm. The planned safety response will point people to real resources if a log suggests a child is being hurt. That response must be reviewed before the app ships.

Where things stand

Still being built.

There’s no app, no price, and no launch date yet. This is the honest state of things.

Questions

Fair enough.

Is Mend available yet?

No. Mend is in development. There’s no app to download or buy, and no launch date has been set. This website explains the idea and lets you ask for updates.

Who is it for?

Parents and caregivers of young children, roughly 2–12, who sometimes lose their temper and want help repairing afterwards. It isn’t designed for anger that has nothing to do with your kids, and it isn’t for emergencies.

What does joining the waitlist mean?

You’ll get updates about Mend’s development and, eventually, its availability. It isn’t a purchase and it isn’t a commitment, and it doesn’t guarantee beta or early access. How often updates go out hasn’t been decided.

What happens to my email?

It’s the only thing this website collects. It’s used to send updates about Mend and isn’t sold. The privacy page has the details, and it’s still a draft that hasn’t had legal review.

Is this just telling me I’m a bad parent, with extra steps?

That’s what I want to avoid. The planned design has no score, streak, or red days. The aim is to make room for a repair tonight, without turning a hard moment into a grade.

How is this different from meditation or parenting apps?

I’m not claiming it’s better than anything. Use what helps you. Mend is being designed for one narrow moment: after you’ve lost your temper and are deciding how to go back into the room.

Will there be AI in this? What would it see?

The current plan includes software-assisted wording suggestions and a weekly pattern view. The app doesn’t exist yet, so there are no user logs. Before release, the privacy policy and safety behaviour need independent review and a clear explanation here.

Could my partner see my logs?

There are no logs today. The planned app won’t have a shared family account, but its access controls still have to be built and tested before I can promise how they work.

Who’s building this?

I’m Amir, one person in North Vancouver. I’m 22 and I don’t have children. The About page explains why I’m building this, and what I’ll do if I get it wrong.
