What app can you use now that Mend is gone?

What happened to the Mend app?

Mend was a breakup recovery app that is no longer available. As of September 5, 2026, it didn't appear in the US App Store, and its domain, hellomend.com, led to a page listing the brand for sale. We found no public announcement that it shut down.

Note: this page is published by Over It, one of the apps in the comparison. That's why we stick to public data and also tell you when Over It isn't a good fit for you.

What alternatives to Mend are there?

The most visible ones are no contact and breakup recovery apps, all free to download with a subscription inside. They differ mostly in language and in how many people use them. This data comes from the US App Store listings as of September 5, 2026.

What should you check before choosing a breakup app?

Check four things: whether it's really in your language, whether it was updated in the last few months, whether it's a day counter or a full program, and whether the price is clear before you enter your card. Those questions rule out most bad choices.

1. 1

   Check the last update

   It's on the store listing. An app nobody has updated in over a year could end up like Mend.

2. 2

   Check the language inside the app

   A listing that names your language doesn't guarantee that all the content is translated.

3. 3

   Choose between a counter and a program

   If you just want to stop texting them, a no contact counter is enough. A program adds content, exercises and mood tracking.

4. 4

   Find the price before you create an account

   It appears in the "In-App Purchases" section of the listing and on the payment screen, before you confirm.

When is Over It not the best option?

In three cases: if you need something free, because the content requires a subscription; if you only want a journal or a day counter, because there are simpler tools; and if you need therapy, because Over It is self-help and doesn't replace it.

It makes the most sense if you want something in Spanish or English, on iPhone or Android, with daily support: tools to stick with no contact, breathing exercises and an anonymous community. If you haven't been able to function for weeks or you have thoughts of hurting yourself, talk to a professional or call your local emergency number. No app replaces that.
