Anchor — a quiet place to think

Appearance

Choose a light or dark palette, or let Anchor follow your device.

Voice

You can talk to Anchor instead of typing — hold the microphone in the composer, speak, and let go. Using voice sends your recording to a transcription service and Anchor's reply to a voice service, in the same transient way the app already sends messages to the AI. Nothing is logged or kept there.

Audio feedbackA gentle beep while a reply is on its way. Turn it off for quiet — the composer still shows a visual pulse so you can see it working.Save my voice notesOff by default. When off, your recording is transcribed and then discarded — only the text is kept. When on, you can play back your own note during this session.

Memory across chats

Each chat still has its own thread. When something in a new chat clearly connects to one you've had before, Anchor can quietly draw on the earlier one — the search runs on this device, over messages only your passphrase can unlock, so nothing extra leaves it.

Draw on earlier chatsLet Anchor find and use relevant moments from your past chats when they help the current one. On by default. Turn it off and every chat stays completely self-contained.Show when a past chat was usedOff by default. When on, a small note appears under a reply that had context from an earlier chat — so you can always see when it happened.

Username & password sign-in

Set up a username and password so you can sign back in on any device — without needing the invite code or a device that's already signed in. This is your sign-in, separate from your passphrase; your passphrase still unlocks (decrypts) your history and never leaves your device.

Session

Signing out clears your encryption key from memory. You'll need your passphrase to unlock again.

Your data

Take your conversations with you, or bring them back. The encrypted copy is what the server holds; the readable copy is decrypted on this device as it downloads — and it's the one you can import back, even on a new device or after changing your passphrase.

Want a blank page without losing what Anchor has learned? Clearing the conversation keeps your memory, moods, and parked thoughts. Type start fresh to confirm.

Your profile

A little context so Anchor can meet you more personally. All optional, all encrypted on this device — only derived hints (a first name, a rough age, gender) are ever shared with the AI, never your date of birth. Change or clear any of it any time.

Unlock with your passphrase to edit.

Things Anchor should know

In your own words, one per line — context, preferences, things that do or don't work for you. The AI reads these but can never change them. Encrypted like everything else.

Unlock with your passphrase to edit.

What Anchor remembers

Short, abstracted notes carried between sessions — stored encrypted, decrypted only on your device. Never raw journaling. If Anchor got something wrong, tap the × to forget just that note.

Unlock with your passphrase to view.

Delete account

Permanently removes your account and every encrypted message from the server. This cannot be undone. Type delete everything to confirm.
