48% of people say yes when they mean no. You already know which one you are.
You learned to say yes to stay safe. It's a nervous system pattern, not a personality flaw. And it can be unlearned. Bounds is the first app built specifically for people-pleasing recovery. 7-day free trial included.
Ninety Seconds of Clarity
When a boundary moment hits, open Bounds:
• Breathe - a guided pause. Space before your brain says yes.
• Feel where it lives - jaw, stomach, chest. Your body knows before you do.
• Get the words - scripts for your exact situation. Words you can actually say.
• Decide - yes or no, both celebrated equally.
What Changes
• Say no without the guilt spiral
• Know what you actually want, not just what everyone else needs
• More honest relationships
• A quieter mind at night
• Energy for what actually matters
• Proof it's working - patterns that shift week over week
Built for Your Pattern
A 2-minute quiz identifies your people-pleasing type - guilt, fear, achievement, habit, or identity. Everything adapts: the scripts, the reflections, the way the app talks to you.
• Personalized scripts - for work, family, friends, dating, money, and yourself
• Evening reflections - process the day in under a minute
• Weekly reviews - see which people and situations trigger your automatic yes
• Recovery timeline - 5 phases from awareness to integration
• Morning intentions - set your focus before the requests start
Five Therapy Frameworks
CBT, DBT, Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, and ACT. Not a wellness app - structured, therapy-grade boundary work.
100% local. Your decisions and reflections never leave your device. No account. No cloud.
It's okay to have needs. Start with one decision. See what changes.
