Sound familiar?
The replay won't stop looping.
3 a.m. and your chest is tight.
You're already bracing for the worst.
Their life looks easier than yours.
You've drafted and deleted it five times.
Piptyping…Three steps. Thirty seconds. That's it.
Here, I'll walk you through it.

Dump the spiral.
Type it the way it actually feels. Messy is fine. Nobody else ever reads it.
Breathe in
Breathe while Pip writes.
Thirty seconds, written for this exact moment. Not pulled from a library.
For the wait that won't end
Listen, then log off.
A warm voice walks you through it. Then the phone goes down. That's the whole point.
Most apps make money off your anxiety. Pip refuses to.
No streaks to break. Miss a day and nothing happens.
No red badges, no countdowns, no nagging.
No leaderboards, no comparing yourself to anyone.
No “you are broken” labels.
No tricks to keep you here longer than you need.
Relief, then back to your life.
Built on research, not vibes.
That midnight check-the-phone spiral has a name: anxious attachment. Researchers have spent sixty years mapping it. Pip just makes it fit in thirty seconds.
- 1958
John Bowlby names attachment theory: how we bond, and why silence can feel like danger.
- 1970s
Mary Ainsworth maps the anxious pattern at Johns Hopkins. The 2 a.m. reread, explained.
- 2003
Kristin Neff shows self-compassion is a skill you can practice, not a personality trait.
- 2023
Stanford finds five minutes of slow exhales lifts mood more than meditation itself.
- TodayPip folds all of it into thirty calm seconds, written for your exact moment.
Standing on research from Johns Hopkins Cornell Stanford UT Austin
Pip applies this research. It isn't therapy, and it doesn't pretend to be.

Hear what 30 seconds sounds like.
Every meditation is written for the moment you typed, not pulled off a shelf. Calm voice, gentle pacing, optional soundscape.
Tap play on the phone for a short, silent preview. Audio never plays on its own.
Why we built Pip
I built Pip for the version of me that used to sit up at 2 a.m., reading one unanswered text like it was a verdict.
The other apps wanted me anxious: streaks to keep, badges to chase. Pip is the opposite: say what's here, breathe for thirty seconds, then put the phone down and get back to your life.
We're small and just starting out. No fake reviews, no dark patterns, just a calm little dog in your corner.

Is my data private?
Your words stay on your device; we don't sell or share them. (We'll confirm exact behavior in the privacy policy before publishing.)

No. Pip is a calm daily practice, not therapy or a crisis service. For clinical needs, please see a professional. If things ever feel too heavy, you can reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline any time.
Is this based on actual science?
Yes. Pip's meditations draw on attachment theory, the framework John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth developed and that researchers at universities like Johns Hopkins, Cornell, and Stanford have studied for decades, plus paced-breathing and self-compassion research. Pip applies that work; it isn't therapy.

Free to try. After that, $12.99/month or $89.99/year with a 7-day free trial.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, through your Apple ID. The dismiss is never hidden.

iPhone first, for now. We're building Pip carefully. Android comes once we can do it justice.
Next time the spiral starts, you'll have backup.
Take a breath with Pip.
