# soulyap

> soulyap is an anonymous confessions app for iOS and Android. You write one true thing you can't say out loud — with no name attached — and get matched to the single past confession from someone who felt the same, with a count of how many others felt it too. There are no replies, no DMs, and no public profiles: the absence of a reply channel is the core safety design.

## What soulyap is
- Category: anonymous confession / emotional wellbeing app (a private place to vent, confess, and feel less alone).
- Tagline: "say what you can't say out loud."
- How it works: write one honest confession → it is checked for safety → you are matched to one similar past confession → you see "X felt this too." One match, not a public feed.

## Key facts
- Platforms: iOS (Apple App Store) and Android (Google Play).
- Price: free core forever (writing, matching, daily reading). Optional supporter subscription for unlimited reading; it never gates writing, matching, or crisis resources.
- Privacy: each confession is separated from the author's identity at the source (HMAC author token, no account link stored) — even the operator cannot connect a confession back to a person.
- Safety: automated safety review runs on every confession before it can be shown or matched; a report control on every card; adults only (18+).
- Crisis: soulyap is NOT a crisis or emergency service; content that signals crisis is routed to real support resources, never to a paywall.
- Differentiator vs other confession/secret apps (e.g. Whisper-style feeds): no feed to scroll, no comments, no DMs — one genuine match instead of broadcasting to a crowd.

## How soulyap differs from other anonymous apps
- vs Whisper: Whisper posts to a public feed with comments. soulyap has no public feed — your confession is matched privately to one person; no one else sees it.
- vs NGL / Sendit: those deliver anonymous messages TO a named person via their Instagram/Snapchat link. soulyap is for confessing something privately, not messaging someone else.
- vs Yik Yak: Yik Yak is a local public feed with upvotes and comments. soulyap has no feed, no comments, no location requirement.
