Let Them Hear Your Voice
Some things sound more like you out loud.
Editor’s pick
Made for moments like these.
- Sunday, with Monday on your mind.
- Your inbox is taking over your day.
- You miss people, but texting feels huge.
- Getting started feels like a lot.
How it works
Most of us know what helps, but it’s hard to think of in the moment. PRESCRIBE puts a few good options in front of you, without having to search.
- 01
Tell it how you feel.
A tap or a sentence is enough.
- 02
Get a few options, each with a reason.
Not one pick: you choose.
- 03
Say what helped.
The next options fit you better.
Three ways to take a dose.
In your hand
Something to watch, listen to, read or practice, right on your phone.
In the early version
Do it now
An action right where you are: send a voice note, write three lines, step out the door.
In the early version
Get outside
Somewhere to go nearby, with the cost shown up front.
Coming next
Music, film, practices, people, nature and the places near you all count.
Three questions, answered.
Is this therapy?
No. It’s everyday support for ordinary days, not therapy or crisis care. In the US, call or text 988 in a crisis.
What does it cost?
It’s free while we test. People on the list hear first about membership.
What happens to what I share?
The words you type to check in are never stored. Your Portrait is built only from what you choose to share, and it’s a shape, not a score. There are no ads, and we never sell your data.
Not a new idea. A new way to get it.
Health services in many countries already connect people to art, nature and time with others. PRESCRIBE brings that idea to your everyday, with options you can check for yourself.

We link to their public work. They aren’t affiliated with PRESCRIBE.
We’re early, so we don’t claim PRESCRIBE itself helps yet. We’re testing that now, and people on the list hear what we learn.
