Mendaly: a new app that turns mental wellbeing advice into a daily plan
Mendaly, a new mental wellbeing assistant, builds a short research-based plan for worry, sleep or stress, then helps you follow it day by day.
Most of us already know the advice: sleep better, worry less, get some fresh air. The hard part is turning that advice into something you actually do on a busy Tuesday. A new app called Mendaly (mendaly.com) is built around that gap.
Mendaly describes itself as “your mental wellbeing assistant”. You tell it what is hard right now, it builds a short plan from published research, and then it stays with you every day until things feel lighter.
How it works
- Name what is hard. You pick one issue at a time: worry and overthinking, low mood, sleep problems, stress and burnout, job loss, or conflict at home. One issue at a time keeps the plan focused.
- A short, private check-in. You answer a few questions, including standard questionnaires such as GAD-7 for worry and PHQ-9 for mood. This sets your starting point. If an answer shows you may be in danger, the app stops and shows crisis help first.
- Get a plan. The app builds a 4 to 8 week plan of small steps taken from a library of research-based actions, such as “worry time” or a breathing pacer. Each step shows why it helps and where the evidence comes from. The AI only picks and orders steps from that library; it never invents new ones.
- Do a few small things each day. Each morning a “Today” screen shows 2 to 4 tasks, 5 to 20 minutes in total, with reminders at times you choose.
- Check in weekly. A two-minute check-in shows progress in plain words, for example “your worry score went from 14 to 9”, and the plan adapts with you.
Kind by design
Missed days never reset your progress. There are no streak-pressure messages and no guilt. If life gets busy, the app suggests lighter steps, and you always choose. Built-in tools include breathing, grounding, thought records and a sleep diary, plus a coach chat that answers questions about today’s step.
Faith, only if you want it
For many people, faith is part of how they cope. Mendaly keeps science first, but users can add practices from their own tradition as an optional second track. Every verse, hadith or quote comes from a verified library with its exact source; anything that cannot be confirmed is left out.
Privacy
Mendaly says the app has no ads and no third-party trackers. Health and faith answers are stored separately, are never used for marketing, and users can export or delete everything.
When can you get it?
The app is not out yet. On mendaly.com/pre-order you can pre-order Premium with 20% off your first year (US$39.99 instead of US$49.99), refundable until you first sign in. Or you can reserve a place free, with no card, and tell the team what you would like the app to do.
The company says the action steps are being reviewed by licensed clinicians before launch.
Important: Mendaly is a wellbeing tool, not a medical service, and it does not replace a doctor or therapist. If you are in danger or thinking about harming yourself, contact your local emergency number straight away.
Disclosure: Mendaly is made by GoAgentic Labs, a company linked to Digital Akhbaar’s chief editor.
