Finch: Self Care Pet 4+

Great for neurodiverse adults too!!

A bunch of my friends (we're all neurodivergent in some form, and all 21+) have difficulty maintaining daily habits and getting even small stuff done without motivation. We've all found since using Finch that our general motivation is higher!! It has so many useful features and even the free version has so much it's super usable even without the paid content, which just seems like some extensions on the already wide capabilities it offers. It's cute, you can add your friends in order to help them out and send cute little acts of kindness, it has some really handy tools like soundscapes, stretching and breathing exercises, and depression/anxiety tracking, and it's super intuitive to use, so even though I've only been using it a few days, I can see myself using it far into the future!! The ability to block certain tags is super handy to keep triggering suggestions out also, it's not something you see often, and it's not super demanding and annoying like a lot of habit tracking apps <3

TLDR: great, easy app, with heaps of free content and really hard working devs. Stuff is constantly in the works and it's all useful features! Sensitive to topics other tracking apps aren't, and really handy with general mental health tools.

Best self-care app out

Love the app and love that it’s by just two people! Saw the reviews and couldn’t believe what magic you’ve created! Have tried countless apps and knew this one would be the perfect fit the minute I saw it. You clearly understand the biggest issue with CBT/self-care apps is that it’s HARD to be accountable for your own self-care. I would use other self-help apps ONLY on days I felt good and could never motivate myself to actually face them on bad days. What your app offers is the encouragement that self-care will grow SOMETHING more than just your mental well-being. You are attaching a physical concept to self-care and checking in and making it so so so much easier to do for a lot of people. You advertised to me on a day I had a complete relapse and I downloaded it on the spot. I have used it every day since and I am shocked that it’s been a week and I’m still checking in daily - and now enjoying it! Thank you for realising the problem consumers face and answering it. This is truly an example of consumerism done right - thank you for giving me light to face the darkness. You have done a remarkable job.

Thank you for such a kind words!! Making self care and mental health actually motivating is our goal so it means a lot to hear you enjoy Finch so much! If you haven't yet, would love to get continuous feedback from you in our community where we also post sneak peaks (http://facebook.com/groups/finchfam)! - Nino & Steph 🙇🏽‍♂️ 🙇🏻‍♀️

Adorable

Super cute little character, I’ve named mine Doris haha, that lifts you up and can remind you to check in throughout the day. Definitely puts a smile on my face and reminds me to be more mindful. Have only been using for 3 days so far but even that is the longest I’ve ever consistently stuck to a mental health related app. I think because it gives you cute little check ins and you are focusing on growing your little bird character it also helps me personally as I have ADHD and that gives me enough of a feeling of accomplishment (and dopamine for my severely dopamine lacking brain) to stick to my goals and check ins more. Also gives you some good ideas for little ways to improve your day that are quite small steps but give you a good sense of accomplishment (like message a friend you haven’t spoken to in a while, 10 jumping jacks or 5 push ups, morning stretching etc.). Considering getting the pro version I enjoy it so much but the free version still gives you plenty to work with 😊Highly recommend
