Why a 30-day breakup recovery plan works
After a breakup, the hardest question is the smallest one: what do I do today? Your brain is busy replaying conversations and drafting texts you shouldn’t send — it has no spare capacity for planning recovery. MendDays answers that question for you, every day for 30 days, in four phases: Survive (emotional first aid, no contact, sleep), Feel (letting grief move through instead of around), Rebuild (getting your people, hobbies and body back), and Forward (new goals, boundaries, and a graduation ritual).
And because no two breakups are the same, the plan is built from your answers: who ended it, how long it’s been, what hurts most, and what you want in 30 days. Someone who can’t stop checking their ex’s Instagram gets a very different week one than someone who can’t sleep.
MendDays never sees any of it. Your answers, your plan, your streak — all of it lives in your browser on your device. There is no server, no account, no database. We couldn’t read your breakup details if we wanted to.
FAQ
Is this really free?
The questionnaire, the first 7 days of your plan, and the no-contact tracker are free, forever. MendDays Pro — all 30 days plus print & PDF export — will be a $9 one-time purchase. Not a subscription. You buy it once, it’s yours for life.
Where is my data stored?
On your device, in your browser’s local storage. Nothing is uploaded — there is no server to upload to. If you clear your browser data, your plan and streak are gone too, so be a little careful with “clear browsing data”.
What is no contact, and why does everyone recommend it?
No contact means no texts, no calls, no “accidental” likes, no checking their stories — usually for at least 30 days. Every contact resets the emotional clock: your brain treats it like a tiny reunion, then goes through a tiny breakup again. The tracker on this page exists because streaks work — seeing “Day 12” makes it much harder to throw it away on a 2am text.
I slipped and texted them. Did I ruin everything?
No. A slip is a data point, not a verdict. Hit “I slipped”, let the counter restart, and notice what triggered it — that’s genuinely useful information. Day 0 is still a day. The badges you already earned stay earned.
Is this therapy?
No. MendDays is a structured self-help tool — a plan, not a professional. If your low moods last for weeks, or you’re having thoughts of harming yourself, please talk to a professional or reach out to a crisis line at findahelpline.com. There’s no version of this where asking for help is the wrong move.
Can I retake the questionnaire?
Yes — hit “Retake quiz” above your plan. Your answers are pre-filled so you can change just one thing (say, your biggest struggle shifted from sleep to anger) and rebuild the plan. The no-contact streak is separate and survives retakes.
