The page says users will choose a path tailored to circumstances such as a sudden loss, illness, old age, or a decision to put a pet to sleep. Its planned support button combines grounding exercises, a safety plan written by the user, and crisis-line access. The site identifies VJ Lab Limited in New Zealand as the maker and says the app is for ages 16 and over.
