Goodbye

Hypothesis

Can an app delete itself after healing you?

What We Built

A one-time journaling experience.
You write a final note, a goodbye to something that hurts.
When you’re done, it deletes itself, symbolizing emotional closure.

How We Tested It

We shared it with 10 users.

• 8 said it felt cathartic, like a ritual.
  
• 2 asked if it could stay, proving how attached we are to our pain.
  

What Worked

• Simplicity and symbolism.
  
• Visuals + glitch transition = powerful emotional punch.
  

What Didn’t

• Hard to make people actually let go (they wanted to reopen).
  
• Deletion is hard — emotionally and technically.
  

Conclusion

Technology can heal when it learns to say goodbye.
The best apps don’t demand forever — they give closure.
