BetterTips

Some worries are too big to keep in your head and too small to call a friend about. BetterTips gives them somewhere to go.

Type out what's bothering you, pick the emoji that matches how you feel, and BetterTips reads it back to you in plain language — then hands you something to actually do about it. No lectures. No streak guilt. Just your Shiba, a clear head, and a short list.

BetterTips is free to download and use. Some features are limited on the free plan and expanded with an optional paid Plus or Premium subscription. See FREE AND PAID PLANS below.


HOW A CHECK-IN WORKS

1. Say how you feel
Slide across seven honest faces, from grinning to genuinely stressed. Takes three seconds.

2. Say what happened
"I'm nervous about my interview tomorrow and I don't know how to tackle it." Write as much or as little as you like. Nobody's marking it.

3. Tag the trigger
Work or studies, friendship, family, finances — so patterns show up later.

4. Get it reflected back
BetterTips summarises what you wrote and names what's likely driving it, so the shapeless worry turns into something you can look at directly. Free plan: one guided reflection a day. Plus and Premium: unlimited.

5. Choose your next step
Start with a short reset, or go straight to practical steps. Your call, every time.


A RESET THAT TAKES ONE MINUTE

Swipe through calming activities built for real life, not a yoga studio. Chew some gum. Take five slow breaths. Wiggle your toes in your shoes.

Every activity is labelled before you commit — 1 min, indoors, no equipment, discreet, solo — so you can find one that works in a meeting room, a lecture hall or a crowded train. Free on every plan; Premium also tailors them to what has helped you.


A CHECKLIST YOU'LL ACTUALLY FINISH

When the feeling is really a to-do list in disguise, BetterTips builds one for you:

→ Review the job description for 15 minutes
→ Draft a brief answer to "tell me about yourself"
→ Prepare three questions to ask the interviewer

Not feeling it? Refresh for a different set. Included with your guided reflection: one a day free, unlimited with Plus or Premium.


YOUR JOURNEY, MAPPED

Every check-in becomes a stop on a winding path down your home screen. Scroll back and see the hard days you already got through, now sitting there with a green tick.

Insights show what keeps coming up, which triggers hit hardest, and how your mood moves over time. Plus and Premium use more advanced AI for a closer read of your patterns.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT

Your journal is yours. Write the ugly version — the one you'd never say out loud. That's the one that helps.


A NOTE ON WHAT THIS IS

BetterTips is a journaling and self-care app for everyday stress. It isn't therapy or a medical device, and it doesn't diagnose or treat anything. If you're struggling, please talk to a doctor or a qualified professional — and if you're in crisis, contact your local emergency services or a crisis line right away.
