of people avoid difficult conversations — even when they know they shouldn't
ignore toxic situations entirely instead of speaking up
from picking a situation to holding a full conversation plan in your hands
The reality
Avoidance doesn't make it easier.
It makes it heavier.
Every week you push it off, the conversation grows in your head. You rehearse it alone. You lose sleep. The weight compounds. Brace is here to break that loop — not with generic tips, but with a plan that's specific to your situation, your relationship, and what you actually need to say.
Ask for a raise. Push back on your boss. Set limits with a difficult colleague. Walk in prepared, not hoping.
Set a boundary with a parent. End a friendship. Reconnect with someone you hurt. These conversations need precision.
Saying no without guilt. A real apology. Confronting a friend about hurt feelings. Nine situations — plus anything else.
How it works
Three steps to ready.
No long forms. No sign-up. Just three focused questions and a plan you can actually use today.
Pick what you need to say.
Choose from 9 pre-built situations — or describe your own in a few words. Brace knows the difference between a salary negotiation and a family boundary, and coaches for each one specifically.
Three questions. That's all we need.
Brace asks only what matters for your specific situation. No essay prompts. Swipe through in under a minute. Your answers are what make the plan yours — not a template, not generic advice.
Opening lines, reactions, what not to say.
Three opening tones — Gentle, Direct, Warm. Your core message in plain language. The three reactions most likely to come at you, and exactly how to handle them. Phrases to avoid. All in one place.
Rehearsal Mode
Practice the hard part before it's real.
Brace plays the other person — in character, based on what you told it. Your manager who's a bit guarded. Your parent who historically dismisses pushback. Practice as many times as you need. No judgment.
After the rehearsal, Brace tells you what landed and exactly what to sharpen.

Questions
Things people ask.
Everything you need to know before you start.
Is Brace a therapy app?
No. Brace is a communication coach — not a therapy, mental health, or medical app. It helps you prepare and practice for real-life difficult conversations, the way a thoughtful friend would if they'd thought carefully about your situation. If you're in crisis, please reach out to someone you trust.
What difficult conversations can Brace help me with?
Brace has nine built-in situations: asking for a raise or promotion, setting a boundary with a parent, confronting a friend about hurt feelings, making a serious apology, ending a friendship or relationship, pushing back on your boss, saying no without guilt, reconnecting with someone you hurt — and a free-form option for anything else entirely.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Brace works without any sign-up or login from the moment you open it. Sign In with Apple is only offered when you want to save a plan across devices — and even then it's optional. You can generate plans and rehearse entirely anonymously.
How does the AI roleplay rehearsal work?
After generating your plan, Brace plays the other person in character — your guarded manager, your dismissive parent, your hurt friend — based on what you told it about the relationship dynamics. You can rehearse as many times as you need. After the session, Brace tells you what landed well and exactly what to sharpen.
How much does Brace cost?
Brace includes a 3-day free trial with full access. After that, you can subscribe weekly for $6.99 or annually for $39.99 — roughly $3.33 per month. Cancel anytime directly in iOS Settings. No email required.
Is my conversation data private?
Yes. Your plans and rehearsal content are stored encrypted in EU-based servers with row-level security — only you can access your data. Analytics events are fully anonymous and never include your actual words or answers. We never sell your data or use it for advertising.
The conversation you keep rehearsing in your head? It's time to have it for real.
Brace gives you the plan, the practice, and the confidence to finally say it.
