Loya - Breakup Healing

Going through a breakup? Loya is your private, offline healing companion, built on real neuroscience and psychology research.

Your brain treats a breakup like withdrawal. The craving to text your ex, the sleepless nights, the identity crisis, it's not weakness. It's biology. Loya gives you the tools to work with your brain, not against it.

YOUR HEALING JOURNEY
Loya guides you through four research-backed phases of recovery:

Phase 1: The Cocoon (Days 0–14) — Survive the acute pain. Breathe through cravings. Resist the urge to reach out.

Phase 2: The Storm (Weeks 2–6) — Process the anger. Reframe toxic thought patterns. Decide if reconciliation makes sense.

Phase 3: The Clearing (Weeks 4–12) — Rebuild your identity. Rediscover who you are without them.

Phase 4: The Horizon (Weeks 8+) — Find meaning. Assess your readiness for what comes next.

FEATURES

No-Contact Tracker — Track your streak with a compassionate reset if you slip. Based on Marshall (2012) research showing social media surveillance predicts worse recovery.

Urge Surfer — A 90-second breathing intervention for the moment you want to text your ex. Based on Fisher's fMRI research showing breakup cravings peak and pass like withdrawal.

Fake Text Your Ex — Type everything you want to say. Nothing sends. Safe catharsis based on emotion-focused therapy techniques.

Mood Tracker with Recovery Curve — See your mood plotted against the average 11-week recovery timeline. Know that your dips are normal.

Thought Detox — CBT-based cognitive reframing. Catch distorted thoughts, identify the pattern, rewrite them.

Guided Journaling — Structured, benefit-focused prompts. Not blank-page venting — research shows that can actually make things worse.

Pause Mode — Thinking about getting back together? An honest, research-backed assessment based on reconciliation studies. No other app offers this.

Dating Readiness Assessment — A data-backed gauge for "Am I ready?" based on actual recovery markers, not a calendar.

Identity Rediscovery — Rebuild your sense of self across six life domains: hobbies, friendships, career, values, health, and creativity.

Habit Tracking — Research-backed daily habits for recovery: exercise, social connection, mindfulness, self-care.

Gratitude Reframe — A daily micro-exercise proven to improve mood and wellbeing.

Feelings Vault — Quarantine photos, messages, and memories you are not ready to delete but need out of sight.

Unsent Letters — Write what you need to say. Burn it. Let it go.

Memory Rewrite Ritual — A guided 4-step process to reduce the emotional charge of painful memories.

FULLY OFFLINE. FULLY PRIVATE.
No accounts. No cloud. No data collection. No tracking. Everything stays on your phone. When you delete the app, everything disappears forever. Your healing is yours alone.

BUILT ON REAL RESEARCH
Every feature in Loya is grounded in published psychology and neuroscience research — from Helen Fisher's fMRI studies on romantic rejection, to Slotter's self-concept clarity research, to Lewandowski's benefit-focused writing studies, to Dailey and Vennum's work on relationship cycling.

This is not generic self-help. This is science, designed with care.
