TenderLoop

TenderLoop is a mobile AI + traditional app for structured inner-child work that feels practical, not mystical. Users do 5–10 minute daily check-ins that guide them through: (1) naming the trigger, (2) identifying the younger “part” it activates, (3) writing a short repair message, and (4) choosing one small boundary or self-care action. The AI helps users turn messy thoughts into clear, compassionate language and suggests age-appropriate prompts, but it never pretends to be therapy. A “Pattern Map” shows recurring triggers (e.g., criticism, abandonment, conflict) and links them to needs (safety, validation, autonomy). The app includes a “Hard Day” mode with pre-written scripts for self-soothing and a simple plan to get through the next hour. Privacy is a core feature: local device lock, export/delete, and minimal data retention. Monetization: subscription with a free basic tier.
