How it works
Check in. See the pattern. Take a step.
Most men don't want to sit and talk about feelings. So it starts with thirty seconds – and builds from there when you're ready.
Check in – 30 seconds
Dial in your mood, log your sleep and any drinks, and note one hard thing and one good thing. Tag what set you off if you want to.
See the pattern
Dials, trends and weekly and monthly reports show how you're really doing – and what's affecting you most, from sleep and drink to the days that set you off.
Take a step
Small goals, a 30-day "Back on track" programme and practical checklists. On bad days, the SOS button and the right help are one tap away.
What's inside
Built for the weeks after everything changed
Everything you need to get through it, and nothing you don't.
30-second check-in
Mood on a dial, sleep, drinks, one hard thing and one good thing. Quick enough to do every day, even on the worst ones. Missed days can be filled in, and one missed day a week won't break your streak.
Progress and patterns
Mood trends, sleep, streaks, milestones and a calendar of every day – plus patterns like "Sundays are your hardest day" or "heavy nights cost you the next day".
Rough moment button
Two minutes of guided breathing and grounding, a calm walk-through for panic attacks, then your own plan, a mate, a helpline or the journal – whatever helps next.
A journal you can talk to
Write it, or just say it – voice notes up to three minutes. Search every entry, filter by low or good days, and write a letter to future you that stays sealed for months.
A plan for bad days
Write it on a good day: your warning signs, what helps, who to call and why it's worth holding on. It opens first when you hit SOS – with straight-talking help if it's got really dark, or you're worried about a mate.
No contact, no regrets
A trip-meter for days without checking their socials or texting them, a 10-minute urge timer with your own reasons, and unsent messages locked for 24 hours.
Drinking, honestly
Tap in what you had. See your weekly units against the NHS guideline, your dry days, and what drinking does to your mood and sleep the next day. Optional.
Back on track · 30 days
One small step a day for a month: a short read, a task and something to write about – from sleep and drink to trust, routines and the next lap.
Your head toolkit
Plain-English guides on anxiety, panic and low mood, plus self-help tools: one small thing, worry time and a quick thought check.
Goals and the practical stuff
Small goals with progress bars, and a checklist for money, the house, the kids and legal steps – with free UK sources like Citizens Advice and Cafcass.
Mates and support
Two or three mates one tap away with ready-made messages, an optional weekly text to keep one of them in the loop, a daily reminder at a time you choose, and UK helplines when a check-in comes in low.
Locked and backed up
Lock the whole app or just the journal with your fingerprint or a PIN. Back everything up with a password only you know – to a file you keep, or automatically to your own Google Drive.
Reports
See what's really going on – and take it to your GP
Thirty seconds a day adds up. Pit Stop 30 turns your check-ins into plain-English reports that show how you're doing and what's affecting you most.
Weekly pit lane report
Your week on one screen: average mood against the week before, your best and hardest day, sleep, drinks, goals and the good things you noticed.
- What's dragging you down and what's helping
- One practical thing to try next week
- A gentle check-in if it's been a hard stretch
Monthly service report
This month against last – mood, sleep, units of alcohol, dry days, low days, urges beaten and goals – with a plain verdict: a better month, a steady one, or a harder one.

Summary for your GP
It can be hard to explain how the last few weeks have really been. Make a one-page PDF of your mood, sleep, drinking and triggers over 14, 30 or 90 days, and share it with your GP or counsellor.
See an example (PDF)Reports are made on your phone from your own check-ins. Nothing is uploaded – you choose who sees them. Your journal is left out unless you choose to include it. Pit Stop 30 is a self-help app, not a medical service. Examples use made-up data.
Pathways

- General prompts and wellbeing goals
- Support when the dial drops
Why this one
Not another pastel journaling app
Break-up apps tend to be for getting over an ex, and wellbeing apps are for everyone. This is built for men, around the specific weeks after trust breaks.

Private by design
What you write stays yours
You might be sharing a house, a sofa or even a phone with the person who hurt you. So privacy isn't an extra here – it's the starting point.
