DryRun: Say the Hard Thing

You already know what you need to say. You've said it in the shower, in the car, in your head at 2am. Then you get in the room and it comes out as "I just wanted to check in, no worries if not." DryRun is where you say it badly first. Pick the conversation you're dreading — or write your own. The other person answers in character: defensive, tearful, charming, or simply quiet. They push back on vague openers. They don't let you off the hook. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Your hedging is underlined as you type. "Just", "maybe", "sorry to bother you", "I might be wrong but" — marked in the moment you write them, with a running count. Not blocked. Marked. So you can see the shape of your own flinching before you send it. And when you finally make a specific point, the other person says nothing. Three full seconds of silence. Most people fill it and undo everything they just said. Sitting in it is the whole skill. AFTERWARDS Four things, scored on what you actually said, quoted back to you word for word: - Named the specific thing - Said what it cost - Left them room to answer - Held the point under pushback Run it again and DryRun shows you the line that changed — your hedged version and your straight one, side by side. That comparison is the point of the app. TODAY'S LINE One softened sentence a day, rewritten straight. Sixty seconds, entirely offline. No streak to break and no notification chasing you about it. BUILT FOR CONVERSATIONS YOU ACTUALLY HAVE Delivering feedback. Setting a boundary. Saying no. Keep as many conversations as you need — each one keeps its own runs and its own progress. PRIVATE BY DESIGN What you type is about a real colleague, so it stays on your phone. No account. No name, no email. Transcripts and scores never leave your device, and there is no share button anywhere in the app — on purpose. Messages are sent to generate a reply and are never stored. One reminder the evening before your conversation, if you want it. No daily pestering. DRYRUN PLUS Two runs are free, with the full feedback and the before/after comparison. DryRun Plus unlocks unlimited runs, every run saved, difficulty escalation, and your hedging tracked over time. - DryRun Plus Monthly — $4.99 per month - DryRun Plus Yearly — $29.99 per year Both begin with a one-week free trial.
