SPACE: Your Safe Sanctuary

Pause. Reflect. Reconnect with God.

A gentle daily rhythm for reflection, prayer, and responding with wisdom, in about five minutes a day. Before SPACE opens on Google Play, I'm inviting a small group of Android users to apply to test it with me.

  • Faith-centered
  • About 5 minutes a day
  • Your journal stays private

A place to return to, morning to evening

A short film about a day with SPACE, made from the real app.

Still from the SPACE film: the SPACE app icon and the words Your Safe Sanctuary, Coming soon to the App Store and Google Play Film coming soon

The full SPACE film will be shared here soon.

Inside SPACE

Small, steady practices for a calmer mind and a grounded heart

SPACE Pause

Pause before you respond.

When a moment feels too big, PAUSE walks you through six short steps so you can respond with wisdom instead of reacting.

  • Stop
  • Settle
  • Name
  • Check
  • Choose
  • Reconnect
SPACE Pause, step 1 of 6: Stop. Pause. You do not have to react right away.

Breathe

Slow, simple patterns to help your body settle.

Journal

Private prompts that help you put words to what you feel. Only you can read what you write.

Scripture

Verses that meet you where you are, with room to sit with them.

  • I've found myself returning to the Breathe feature the most. It helps me slow down, release some stress, and take a short break when I feel overwhelmed.

From Coach Pow

Why I created SPACE

“Knowing what to do wasn't always the difficult part. The harder part was remembering and practicing it in the moment it was needed.”

As a Christian life coach, I've spent years helping women slow down, sort through what they're carrying, and respond with greater clarity. SPACE was created for those moments: to help you pause, notice what is happening inside you, return to truth, reconnect with God, and choose one intentional next step.

SPACE grew out of that work, and it's made for anyone who needs a quiet place to return to, women and men alike.

The Android closed test

How the 14-day test works

Google Play asks new apps to run a closed test with real people before they can open to everyone. Here is exactly what happens after you apply.

  1. Apply

    Fill in the short application with the email address on your Google Play account. It takes about three minutes.

  2. Review

    I read every application personally. Approval isn't automatic. If there's a place for you, I add your Google Play email to the private SPACE tester group.

  3. Join on Google Play

    If you're accepted, you'll get an email with your opt-in link. Open it while signed in to that same Google account, tap “Become a tester”, then install SPACE from Google Play.

  4. Use it and tell me

    Use SPACE on the same Android phone for 14 days and share honest feedback through Google Play and SPACE's tester feedback.

Important: your 14 days start when you opt in on Google Play and install SPACE, not when you apply or join the group. Please only apply if you can stay with it for the full 14 days.

Become a tester

Is this a good fit for you?

You can apply if you…

  • have an Android phone with the Google Play Store
  • can use the same Android device for all 14 days
  • know which email you use on Google Play (open Play Store, tap your profile picture, and the email is under your name)
  • will genuinely use the app and share honest feedback, including through Google Play
  • understand that SPACE is pre-release and may have bugs or unfinished features

On iPhone? The Android test isn't for you yet, but you can join the launch list below.

A thank-you for completing the test

Testers who complete the 14-day testing period will receive 2 months of SPACE Premium free after release.

Places in this round are limited, and applying doesn't guarantee a spot or give instant access. I'll email you after reviewing your application. Once your completion is confirmed, the Premium thank-you is added to your SPACE account after SPACE is publicly released.

Apply to Become an Android Beta Tester

Opens the official SPACE tester application (Google Forms) in a new tab. Nine short questions.

Not on Android, or not ready to test?

Join the SPACE Launch List

I'll email you when SPACE opens on Google Play and the App Store, with occasional gentle updates on the way. No spam, and you can unsubscribe anytime.

Questions

Before you apply

Is the test free?

Yes. Testing costs nothing, and you won't be asked for payment details to join the test.

Will I get access right away?

No. Every application is reviewed by hand. If you're accepted, I'll email you the steps to join on Google Play. Access only works once your Google Play email has been added to the tester group.

When do my 14 days start?

When you accept the Google Play opt-in with your tester account and install SPACE. Applying, being accepted or being added to the tester group doesn't start the clock.

Why do you need my Google Play email?

Google Play only lets you into a closed test through the Google account you use on your phone. If the emails don't match, the opt-in link won't work for you.

Can I test on iPhone?

This round is for Android only. Join the launch list and I'll tell you when SPACE is available on iPhone.

What kind of feedback do you need?

Honest, everyday feedback: what helped, what confused you, and anything that didn't work. You can share it through Google Play's private tester feedback and SPACE's testing feedback process.

What if I need to stop early?

That's okay. Life happens. Just reply to any tester email and let me know. The 2-month Premium thank-you is for testers who complete the full testing period.

What happens to my information?

Your application is used only to run the SPACE test and contact you about it. Your SPACE journal and reflections are private to you. Learning While Healing doesn't sell, rent or trade personal data. See the SPACE Privacy Policy for full details.

Is SPACE a replacement for therapy?

No. SPACE is a self-care and spiritual wellbeing tool. It does not replace medical, psychiatric, psychological, or emergency care. If you're in crisis, please contact your local emergency services.
