Sobee – Together for Mental Health. Let’s build an app that will save lives.

The worst part of a crisis is feeling alone.

It doesn’t matter if you’re fighting addiction, depression, anxiety, or an eating disorder – in that darkest moment, there’s often no one there to respond.

Many of us don’t want to talk to our loved ones – out of fear of judgment, shame, or not being understood. But there are countless people facing similar struggles who could walk through them together with us.

Some people don’t want to call a helpline – they may be afraid, unsure of what to say, or simply prefer to write. With Sobee, they’ll be able to do this anonymously, in a safe space, with people who truly understand.

I’m building Sobee – a secure, multilingual app with 24/7 chat support from people who know what it’s like to fight.

Any of us can be someone’s lifeline.

Why this matters

Globally, 970 million people live with mental health disorders – that’s 1 in 8 people.

Depression affects around 280 million people, and anxiety disorders over 300 million.

Hundreds of millions struggle with addictions to alcohol, drugs, gambling, or nicotine, with substance use causing more than 3 million deaths each year.

Sobee will be anonymous 24/7 support, where no one judges you and where you will always find someone who understands, because they’ve been through it themselves.

What we already have

A prototype (no-code) – barely functional and unable to support thousands of users at once.

An initial design and a ready-to-execute vision.

People willing to volunteer as support on the chats.

A plan to build with technology capable of handling over 50,000 concurrent active users.

Building such an app isn’t a one-person job – it requires months of work by developers, designers, and testers.

What we’re raising €50,000 for

This amount will allow us to create a fully functional app for Android and iOS, in multiple languages, with:

Global, private, and group chats

Advanced moderation

Notification and safety systems

How Sobee will work

General chat – open for everyone, 24/7

Themed rooms – addictions, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and other struggles

Private 1:1 conversations – with someone in a similar situation

Daily check-in – a simple way to track mood and progress

SOS Plan – quick access to emergency steps and crisis contacts

Anonymity – just a nickname, no names, no judgment

---

We can do this together

Beyond the will to create something big, we need real financial support.

I believe we can build a space that will provide real help to thousands and save many lives.

Your €1 could be someone’s lifeline

Not everyone can save lives as a doctor or firefighter.

But anyone can contribute to a place where someone in crisis can find instant support.

Donate even €1 and help us bring Sobee to life.
