It’s called Booster Buddy, it’s free, and it’s available for both Android and iOS.
It works by giving you ‘quests’ (daily tasks) that you are encouraged to complete each day. They are very small things and it caters to you (it asks you questions at the start about what you struggle with).
It’s designed to be child friendly and easy to understand. I’m finding it really helpful. You can also input medication times for a reminder and emergency contact details.
I love this app and I had to share it with you all!
thank you for this.
“PLEASE come wake me up again tomorrow”…think of all the lives this app could save
I’ve got this app and seriously it really helps. Not only do you have a calendar to record medication and feelings but you also want to wake up every morning to help the animal. It pretty much made my life better.
SO GUYS. Reblogging from myself because I just downloaded the app and it’s got some really useful features.
In the Settings section, there is a list of Helpful Websites for a variety of different mental health issues. The list is short, but it is a great idea.
The app has you input information (which you can choose not to share) like your local emergency number, local hospital, and an emergency contact person.
There are plenty of activities to keep you going in the right direction.
There is a calendar function and a medication reminder if you need one– and if you have an “as needed” medication, the app can remind you to take them if you check in in “Crisis” mode.
You can edit or change your information at any time, including your symptoms.
Also, less useful but really cute, you can dress up your animal buddy as you do more activities.
TL;DR This app is adorable and will probably be really, really useful for a lot of people.
BoosterBuddy!
I just downloaded this app this morning and it’s A M A Z I N G. I’m not overstating. This app combines some of the best elements and methods from all the various apps I’ve tried.
The two features that I haven’t seen elsewhere in mental health apps that I especially love are:
– It lets you choose a cute animal friend as a companion to keep you socially motivated. To “wake up” and play with this friend, you need to complete 3 wellness tasks (that are super simple and easy), once you’ve done your daily checkin tasks, the cute animal wakes up to play with you. You can tickle it, talk to it, and even play dress up!! Much more motivating than apps that try to make you feel connected to real people, IMO.
– It includes a “calendar” feature (not a big overwhelming calendar like a normal app) that lets you add your own tasks to your daily checklist. So now, along with “checked in,” “completed quests,” and “take medication” I have an extra task that’s alerting me to the fact that I have an important phone call coming up. It made me describe this as “appointment”: “An appointment means someone is counting on you to be somewhere.” I think that might be the most motivating description of an appointment ever. As an anxious person who tends to cancel and reschedule everything, this app is already making me feel better.
A+++++++++ plz download now guys
This app is amazing! I just noticed it said “people who menstruate,” so it is inclusive of trans people. Great attention to detail.
i have this app & it has helped me so much. Even if you don’t think you have a mental illness it’s still great to just hold onto as a pick me up
You and a couple others have asked me on some insight on how I draw the skelesons. Since I can’t really put it into words…I spent the lat 30 minutes whipping up a quick tutorial. Sorry if it’s not super insightful, it’s just how I go about things. uvu)9
I go about drawing the skeletons a similar way I draw humans. Basically, their basic head shape is what dominates their overall appearance in the end.
Step 1: The shapes Sans starts as a circle and primarily stays that way up to the final product. However, with Papyrus I make him longer to match his sprite a bit more. So his overall shape is an oval with a pointy tip at the bottom where his chin ends.
Step 2: The guidelines Self-explanatory. I use these to know where to put their eyesockets, noseholes and mouths. It also helps me locate where their cheekbones would go, which is basically the next step. I sometimes skip this step since I’ve grown used to drawing them, but for more difficult angles or expressions it definitely helps.
Step 3: the cheeky cheeks I draw San’s “cheeks” the way I would draw a chibi or a child’s. It’s a similar way to how I draw my version of Frisk. Basically, it adds to his roundness and is also pretty reminiscent to his in-game sprite. With Papyrus, though, it takes a bit more realistic approach of how skulls actually look (but still keeping it cartoony.) His cheekbones protrude to the sides and I actually draw his mandible. I also redefine the line where the top of his head would go, trying to not make it too big or bulbous. After the cheekbones, I draw their noses in the middle, where the guidelines intersect, and work my way around from there.
Step 4: Expressions + overall details Expressions for me is the best part and it’s where I have the most fun. Sans is much easier to do since I love drawing big grins and big eyes and I’ve gotten more practice with him. However, Pap is a joy to do too! I use his cheekbones to determine how happy he is and I try to do my best with conveying emotion into his smaller eyes. It’s sometimes a challenge, but it’s fun! 😀
Step 5: mm yes. Then we add the clothes and colours and everything nice. yay. Some notes: I make both of their heads less spherical with the lineart, since…skulls aren’t perfectly round. I try to always draw the same amount of teeth (depends on the expression) Around 4 frontal teeth usually. Sometimes i break my own rules if im doodling lol.
this is my first “tutorial” explanation?? sort of thing, so sorry if I’m bad at explaining! Also, I only did busts, but if more people are curious I can do full-bodies too! or of other characters. idkkkk. Hope it explains something!
Whew, wanted to shade these but I doubt I got so lazy ;__;
Anyhow, here is a few character designs for my Undertale AU Underkeep! Mettaton rules the underground (not following the neutral ending though), and everyone we know is appointed to a position of sorts in this fantasy land like place:
Frisk – The Hero
Papyrus – Second in command of the Royal Guard
Sans – The Royal Jester/Overseer of Snowdin
Muffet – Duchess of the Spiders/Royal Baking Specialist
Mettaton – High King
Alphys – Marquess of Hotland/Royal Scientist
Undyne – Baroness of Waterfell/Head of the Royal Guard
Hopefully I can get the other characters done soon as well! Also, everyone’s outfit is (hopefully) reminiscent of their location and/or title (Alphys represents fire, Undyne represents water, etc)…

reblog to save a life so i don’t mow a fricker over
reblog bc they used to teach us the opposite in school and manner guides
this is so important though!! when you crouch down, it gives the impression that you’re talking to a small child and immediately infantilizes the disabled person. please treat us with respect!!
