BoundaryPing

BoundaryPing is a mobile + web app that helps families reduce repeat blowups by turning vague “don’t talk to me like that” rules into clear, trackable agreements. Each family member sets a few non-negotiable boundaries (topics, tones, times, contact rules) and preferred repair steps (cooldown length, apology format, next-step actions). During tense moments, anyone can trigger a one-tap “pause” that starts a timed cooldown and suggests the agreed script to resume safely. After conflicts, a short debrief captures what happened, what boundary was crossed, and what repair was completed—without forcing long journaling. The app generates simple patterns (“money talks after 9pm cause 60% of blowups”) and prompts boundary updates. It’s not therapy and won’t fix abusive situations, but it can reduce friction for families willing to follow a shared playbook.
