What do you need more of in your life today?
Maybe you’re trying to stay hydrated, or need reminders to get in touch with friends every so often. Check-in and reflect on yourself in real-time or as needed.
“It’s like having a best friend on your phone!”
ACTIVITY CARDS
Add activity cards to your personal dashboard, according to what you believe needs extra attention today or in the near future. Activity cards cover everything, from the mundane (such as filling up water bottles and remembering to take screen breaks) to the larger picture (journaling about personal relationships and remembering who or what you’re grateful for).
SCHEDULED REMINDERS (OPT-IN)
Aloe Bud sends reminders only when asked and can be set at specific times from daily to weekdays, weekends, or any other arrangement you can think of. Reminders bring awareness to important activities, that get lost among other priorities
Create and develop self-care routines that work for you. Aloe Bud brings awareness to physical, mental and emotional needs throughout the day using unobtrusive push notifications.
RECENT ACTIVITY LOG
Celebrate tiny victories in your personal activity log, that can be accessed when you touch the icon at the top. Scroll through recently completed check in’s and reflections and look back on your progress day by day.
It’s not meant to and should not replace mental health care or the support of loved ones, but it is a valuable—and free—tool to help bridge gaps in making self-care as accessible and personal as possible.

Designed out of the pure necessity of their own mental health struggles; Aloe Bud creator, Amber Discko searched the App Store for something, anything to help with basic self-care. After trying and ignoring countless self-care apps and feeling guilty for doing so, finding one that met their needs and lifestyle became frustrating. Amber believed there was no better time to start designing a gentle, all-in-one personal care app, using their own experiences, affinity for pixel art and the needs of their communities to bring this simple idea to life.
Reviews
Dont spend your money on this
cruzblues
Definitely stole my money! The reminders don’t work and the reviews are probably paid for. Just use it without premium because there are no real perks
Great app with some bugs
allisonbtstuart
This is an amazing app. It helps me keep track of what self-care I’ve done and easily see what’s lacking. The only problem is that a lot of the time I’ll check in to a certain thing and the app won’t register that I did it. Sometimes if I go back in and long press the check-in button, it’ll work, but only sometimes. I have the latest version of iOS and the app. I still think the app is great, but it can be frustrating.
Very helpful

This app is super helpful to make sure I stay hydrated and eat throughout the day and remember my meds because I’m super forgetful and often don’t think about the affects! The only suggestion I have is to add a note taking feature for some habits, I’d like to describe what i ate orhow much water I’ve taken in.
was five stars but

I’ve tried to contact aloe bud about the activity card bug over THREE MONTHS AGO, and have yet to hear back. otherwise, it’s a good app that lets you stay in the moment without worrying about trends or charts or whatever that just make you feel guilty about progress.
Not what I hoped
Bunny Blackrose
It is not that easy to see if you have achieved daily tasks with the way they light up icons. The sounds for notifications can’t be changed so it is a small short tone that is hard to notice. Other than looking cute this app doesn’t have much going for it.
Would be awesome without the bugs

At this point my reflections keep disappearing into the ether, and cards that have been marked as done keep reverting to not done. The app is just frustrating me and making me feel worse which kinda defeats the point. If they fix these bugs though this is easily the best self care companion I've tried.
a great self care companion
_arsonist
I found Aloe on Twitter, when they were still in beta, and have been using it since near the beginning, so I might be biased. But as a person who has a tendency to always forget the importance of taking care of myself, Aloe Bud has been an incredible companion to daily life. It’s so easy, customizable, and unlike other self care apps, where it doesn’t feel like there’s any expectations or goals to meet. It’s purely for reminders, for mindfulness, and for improvement in taking care of yourself- especially for those like me who have the tendency to forget. I feel like everyone can benefit from this app.
cute app, has glitch
Dreamlandia
I love the design and concept of this app, and have started using it since having a baby. But I have noticed in the reflection feature sometimes when you write something and hit complete it doesn't register. So I have to restart the app, which is a little annoying. It would also be nice to be able to set reminders for multiple times during the day instead of going off just once.
Cute Self care app! ?
Khloe ?
Aloe Bud is a great up to keep up with your self care needs, it’s super cute and let’s you freely customize it to your preferences. One thing I recommend adding is an alarm to remind you to drink water, take a break or something like that. Besides that I recommend this app and give it a solid 5 stars.
