Tell it who you've been avoiding and what's actually happened. A couple of minutes later you're in the conversation out loud, with a character built from your own account of them. She goes quiet. She gets hurt. She pushes on the thing you're least sure about.
Your first rehearsal and the debrief that follows it are free. After that: $4.99 a week if it's only the one conversation, or $9.99 a month if it isn't. The ask comes after you've heard her push back — not before.
Design of the app — not a screenshot
Nobody avoids these conversations because they don't know what to say. They avoid them because of what happens on the fourth minute, when the other person is upset and the standard you set starts sounding negotiable.
You can't practise that alone. You can't practise it on a colleague either, because they'll be kind. So the first time you handle the pushback is the time it counts.
This gives you the fourth minute, as many times as you need it, before Thursday.
Messily, the way you'd tell a friend at the end of the day. Who they are, what's gone on, when you're next in a room together. It reads the situation back to you and names what it thinks you're going in to do, before it builds anyone.
You speak, she answers in a voice, and she doesn't fold. How she takes it depends on how you handle her — she hardens, holds, or eases off, and you never get a dial or a meter for it. Can't talk right now? Type instead: same character, same pushback, nothing plays out loud.
Not a score. The turn where it slipped, with the turn number next to it — and your own words quoted back when you typed them, rather than a transcript's guess at what you said. Then the option to replay that one moment and take it differently.
She pushed back once and the standard turned into a question about you.
Three deliverables, three dates, no hedge in front of them.
Every debrief is kept, so the same behaviours start showing up across different people and different conversations. Not a verdict on what you're like — a count of what actually recurred, with the rehearsals it came from, so you can go and check it.
And on the morning itself, three lines you can read in the lift. Not a script: the sentence you've decided not to walk back, the thing she'll say, and what you're doing when she says it. One reminder, ten minutes before — the only notification the app sends.
“The next deadline lands on the day it's due.” Say it once. Don't add anything to it.
Speech recognition runs on a service outside your phone — that's what stopped it hearing “three days left” when you said “three days late”. We don't record or store the audio; it's transcribed as you talk and it's gone.
What you said, plus what you told us about her, goes to OpenAI to generate her next line. First names are all the app ever asks for, and a first name is all we'd suggest you give it.
The transcript, the debrief and the anchor are kept on Google Cloud in the US, so replay and the patterns view work at all. There's no sign-up: no email, no name, no password. Just an anonymous ID your phone makes at launch.
Two things worth saying out loud, because most apps don't. Deleting the app throws away the anonymous ID, which means your library is gone from your phone — but the rehearsals stay on the server until someone removes them, and today that's an email to us rather than a button in the app. And nothing you record here is ever used to train a model of ours; we don't have one. The full privacy policy spells all of this out, and this page is how you get everything erased — three days, no questions.
No discount that expires tonight, and no countdown. If it has to trap you into staying, it hasn't earned it.
Your first rehearsal and the debrief that follows it are free — nothing is asked for until you've heard her push back once. Neither plan has a free trial: the free rehearsal is the trial, and it costs you nothing to forget about. Prices are in US dollars; your store charges you in your own currency at its own local price, and that price is the one that counts.
