A former Google employee built a free app to help you get over your ex. The free Mend app is a breakup-coach, self-care app, and community for the heartbroken, all rolled into one.
Anyone who's been through a bad breakup has experienced the symptoms: talking about it incessantly to friends, obsessively checking an ex's social media posts, or trying to run into them accidentally on purpose.
But Mend, an app that aims to be a "personal trainer for heartbreak," wants to help you avoid those mistakes and move forward with your life.
Ellen Huerta created the app after going through a breakup herself, according to The New York Times. Huerta is more than the founder, though she is also Elle, the soothing voice within the app that guides you through your breakup.
Mend isn't just a breakup coach; it's an entire community for the brokenhearted. Here's how it works.
Huerta, a former Googler, originally founded Mend as a newsletter about moving on from a breakup. Huerta told The Times that she hopes to "erase the shame and taboo of heartbreak as something to just get over."
