A mental health app for men

The friend in your pocket on the worst day of your life.

Why Phoenix exists

Built in a garage. For men in a garage.

"December 28, 2018. I was on my knees in my garage, asking God to either kill me or save me. Four days later, I walked into rehab. I built Phoenix for the man on that floor. It isn't a product. It's not a brochure, not a paywall, not a sales funnel. It's a place to get stable enough to pick up the phone and talk to another man. That's the whole thing. And it's free, forever."

β€” Patrick, Founder Β· White Pines

Sometimes you just need to put it somewhere that isn't your head.
