Roadmap

The Story

After surviving my own brutal medication withdrawal that left me unable to eat or sleep for 4 weeks, I built Taper – a completely private app that helps people reduce medications safely without the fear of their sensitive data being harvested or sold. No accounts, no tracking, no ads – just a tool that works when you need it most.

We now have 300 people using Taper daily, tracking their progress and finding hope in their recovery journey. But I'm just one developer working nights and weekends, and there are features that could genuinely save lives that I can't build fast enough alone.

What We're Building Next

• 🧠 Smart Withdrawal Prediction – AI that learns your unique patterns and gives you a 2–3 day heads-up before difficult periods.
• 🛡️ Comfort Kit Integration – Personalized suggestions for supplements, comfort items, and coping strategies based on your symptoms.
• 🤝 Emergency Support Network – Connect with verified peers who've successfully tapered similar substances, available 24/7.
• 📊 Provider Bridge – Generate clean, professional reports your doctor actually wants to see.
• 🔬 Micro-Dosing Calculator – Precision tools for liquid tapers, compounding calculations, and ultra-precise reductions.
• 🎯 Recovery Milestones – Celebrate the small wins that really matter during the hardest journey you'll ever take.

Why This Matters

Every day, people attempt to taper medications with inadequate support, outdated information, and tools that weren't built by people who understand the reality of withdrawal. Many give up and return to higher doses. Others push through alone and suffer unnecessarily.

Your Privacy Always Comes First

Unlike other health apps, Taper will never sell your data, require accounts, or track your behavior. Everything stays encrypted on your device. This isn't just a feature – it's a promise to a community that's been failed by the healthcare system too many times.

The Goal

• $25,000 – Hire a part-time developer and accelerate development
• $50,000 – Work on this full-time for 6 months and build everything listed above
• $75,000 – Also create educational content and outreach to healthcare providers

Timeline

• Recovery Milestones: 1–2 months
• Comfort Kit Integration: 2–3 months
• Provider Bridge: 2–3 months
• Micro-Dosing Calculator: 3–4 months
• Smart Withdrawal Prediction: 3–4 months
• Emergency Support Network: 4–6 months

This Is About More Than An App

This is about giving people the tools they need to reclaim their lives safely. Every person who successfully tapers with better support is a victory against a system that often leaves people to figure it out alone.

Help me build the app that should have always existed.
