Patch: Check In With Friends

Patch is a private, gentle way to share how you're really doing — and know how your people are doing too.

No likes. No followers. No feed to perform for. Just the small group of people you chose.

HOW IT WORKS

Check in with how you're feeling, what you're in the middle of, or both. It takes two taps. Add a note if you want to, or don't — that's okay too.

Your patch sees it. Nobody else. Ever.

When someone in your patch is having a hard time, you'll know — so you can show up before they have to ask.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

Not just feelings. Share what you're building, what you're thinking through, what you're celebrating. Sometimes the context matters more than the mood.

Nine honest options. Including "Can't name it," because some days you feel something and don't have the words.

Every feeling counts the same. A hard day is worth exactly as much as a good one.

Built for showing up. Reacting to a friend takes one tap, right from the home screen.

WHO IT'S FOR

Anyone who wants to stay close to a few people without performing for an audience. You don't need to be going through something to belong here.

Patch is free. No ads, nothing to buy.

Patch proudly supports NAMI — the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Patch is not a crisis service. If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 911, or call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
