What is PushPull?
PushPull is a private reply timer that helps you pause before emotional messages, avoid impulsive double texts, and respond with more intention.
Does PushPull read my messages?
No. PushPull is privacy-first. It works from timers, saved situations, and the outcomes you choose to log. It does not need message access.
Who is PushPull for?
PushPull is for anyone who wants calmer communication: dating, friendships, family, work, or any conversation where instant replying is creating stress.
How does the reply timer work?
You choose the person and situation, then PushPull suggests a wait window. When the timer ends, you get a nudge to reply only if you still want to.
