The Atween mark: a cyan field and a warm field overlapping, with a white core where they meet

Atween

Say the hard thing. They never see the draft.

Your words stay yours. Only the version you approve goes across.

What this is

Everything it does ends with a real person.

Atween is a private place to work out something you need to say to one person, and to send a version you have approved. Your own words are never shown to them.

Most products in this category build you a companion — patient, always available, never difficult. Atween does the opposite. There is no character here. There are two real people, and a thin layer that tries to carry meaning across without flattening it.

You write down what actually happened. Atween reads it back to you. Nothing it produces becomes part of your record until you say so.

What we hold to

Five things, stated plainly.

  • A person is a whole life, not a set of pixels.
  • A relationship lives where two people meet.
  • Being seen is not the same as being exposed.
  • The echo never becomes you.
  • Witness, not mining — the hard and the good weigh the same.

Boundaries before capabilities

Before the list of what we don’t do, here is what we keep.

The words you wrote. An index we can rebuild or discard. One short summary for each word you’ve used — bound to the word, not to you. That’s the inventory. What follows is a boundary, not a claim of emptiness.

  1. We don’t simulate a person.

    There is no character here to talk to. Atween works on what you wrote and hands it back to you. If what you want is company, this is the wrong product.

  2. We don’t decide what’s true about you.

    Every reading Atween produces is a candidate. It enters your record only when you confirm it — and “no, that’s not it” is kept too, as something you said.

  3. We don’t show you a score.

    No compatibility percentage. No personality type. No emotion reading. No relationship health meter. Those numbers would be invented, and an invented number about your marriage is worse than silence.

  4. We don’t show them your words.

    What reaches the other person is something you approved, carried across in a form that can land on their side. Your entries stay yours. Theirs stay theirs.

  5. We don’t keep what you delete.

    Deleting destroys the key that made the text readable — it doesn’t become hidden, it becomes unreadable. Then every place a trace could survive is cleared: caches, queues, dead letters, retries, training exports, and the per-word summaries, which are recomputed from scratch rather than patched.

  6. We don’t train on you by default.

    Using Atween and letting Atween learn are two separate permissions. The second is off until you turn it on, and turning it off stops future training.

How it works

Four steps. That is the whole shape.

  1. Leave a moment. Text, a picture, or your voice — transcribed on your own device.
  2. The echo reads it back. A candidate, never a verdict. You confirm, correct, or refuse.
  3. Hand it across. What reaches them is what you approved, phrased so it can land on their side.
  4. It comes back when it should. Not on a schedule, and never as a notification asking for your attention.

Only one of you has to start. Your own record is yours either way — but to hand something across, you both need Atween installed.

Sovereignty

Deletion, export and exit are written into the specification.

Deleting destroys the key that made your text readable, then clears every place a trace could survive. Export gives you the whole record or it fails and says so — never a partial file presented as complete.

Capability in progress

These are commitments written into the specification. The capabilities behind them are still being built and have no operational evidence we could show you yet. We will settle the wording once each one can be demonstrated — not before.

What it costs

Atween is paid, in fixed terms.

Three lengths, priced in US dollars. Each one is bought once and ends when it runs out. Nothing renews by itself, nothing is charged a second time, and there is no subscription left running that you would have to cancel.

  • 1 month — $19.99 · paid once, ends after 1 month
  • 3 months — $49.99 · paid once, ends after 3 months
  • 1 year — $99.99 · paid once, ends after 1 year

One thing is settled regardless of price: asking for help in a crisis is always free. It is never behind a subscription, a quota, or a trial limit.

If you are in crisis

If you cannot hold on right now, get away from danger first. Don’t carry it alone.

Not yet configured

Only a resource that has been checked against its operator appears here; the rest are held back until they are. We would rather leave a market honestly empty than list numbers we cannot vouch for.
