“Ending things is hard. Ovr ends them for you. Meetings, dates, conversations, eras, situationships, podcasts. We do the exit.”

The Solution
One button. The thing ends. You did not have to be the bad guy. You did not have to clear your throat eight times. You did not have to say “well” with that specific intonation.
