Patch is a private, gentle way to share how you're really doing — and know how your people are doing too.
What is Patch
No likes. No followers. No feed to perform for. Just the people you chose, and honest check-ins that actually mean something.
Each day, share how you're really doing — good, okay, anxious, low, overwhelmed, or struggling. No filters required.
Your check-in goes to a small, private group of people you trust. No strangers, no algorithms, no public feed.
When someone in your patch is having a hard time, you'll know — so you can show up before they have to ask.
How it works
Patch takes less than 30 seconds a day. It's meant to fit into life, not take it over.
Each day, tap how you're feeling. Add a note if you want — or don't. Either way, your patch will know you checked in.
The people in your patch see how you're doing. Not your whole world — just the few people who really matter.
When someone's struggling, reach out. Send a message, make a call, or just let them know you see them.
The more you check in, the more your patch knows you. Over time, it becomes a quiet, steady thread of connection.
For Organizations
Help your community build the habit of honest, private connection. We work with mental health organizations, employers, universities, and community groups.
Presenting partners bring Patch to their members, employees, or students as a mental wellness benefit. Your brand sits alongside ours as a shared commitment to connection.
