Dump the spiral.

Tell Pip what just happened, in your own messy words: the unanswered text, the fight, the 2 a.m. dread. Pip uses it only to write the meditation you asked for.

Breathe inBreathe out

Pip writes your meditation.

In about thirty seconds, Pip writes a short practice, thirty seconds to two minutes, shaped with psychologists for this exact moment. Never 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 and you go back to your night. 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.

  1. 1958

    John Bowlby names attachment theory: how we bond, and why silence can feel like danger.

  2. 1970s

    Mary Ainsworth maps the anxious pattern at Johns Hopkins. The 2 a.m. reread, explained.

  3. 2003

    Kristin Neff shows self compassion is a skill you can practice, not a personality trait.

  4. 2023

    Stanford finds five minutes of slow exhales lifts mood more than meditation itself.

  5. Today

    Pip 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.

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.

Fair questions, straight answers.

Do I need an account?
No. Your first meditation needs nothing but a sentence.
Is my data private?
We don't sell your words or use them for advertising. When you ask Pip to make a meditation, the text you type is processed only to create and deliver that meditation and keep the service working.
Is this therapy?
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.
What does it cost?
Free to try. After that, $9.99/month or $69.99/year with a 7 day free trial.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, through your Apple ID. The dismiss is never hidden.
Is there an Android version?
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.
