Solenna is a mobile app, not a web app. It is a wellness and self-help product -
explicitly not therapy, not a medical device, and not a crisis service.

Category: quit-weed app, cannabis reduction app, recovery companion, marijuana
cessation support, sobriety companion.

## What it does

- **Answers on demand, by text or voice.** You can type to her at 2am or call her
  and speak out loud. Both modes share the same memory.
- **Remembers your context.** Your reasons for stopping, your triggers, your day
  count, and the hours you find hardest carry across conversations.
- **Reaches out first.** She learns the hours you tend to use and checks in
  before them. Her stated rules: at most one message a day, never a countdown,
  never a guilt trip, nothing at 3am unless 3am is your hard hour, never naming
  what it is about on a lock screen, and off in one tap.
- **The porch.** Something new to read every day - short pieces she writes and
  chooses by the week you are in - plus ambient sounds labelled by purpose
  (to settle, to focus, for sleep) rather than by format. Nothing to search and
  nothing to scroll past; it is what the app offers when you do not want to talk.
- **A one-press check-in, and a place that grows.** Once a day you press and
  hold - no forms, no mood charts, no streak to protect. Each day you hold grows
  a small island of your own: ninety days to grow the ground, then the seasons
  turn and new things keep arriving. A slip restarts the count but keeps the
  place.
- **The jar.** One question about money - what you spend in a week - and what
  you would have spent goes toward something you choose, with a count of the
  days until you get there.
- **Secret Circles.** Optional pseudonymous peer support. You appear under an
  alias you choose, never your real name. No contacts, no photos.
- **Works toward the goal you set.** Full abstinence is not required. Cutting
  down counts, and so does a tolerance break. You tell her what you are aiming
  for and you can change that whenever the goal changes.

## Who it is for

Adults, 18 or over, who are changing their relationship with cannabis - whether
that means stopping entirely, cutting down, or taking a tolerance break. Solenna
does not require a commitment to abstinence, and she is not framed around one. She
suits people who want support at the moment a craving lands rather than at a
scheduled appointment, people who do not want to tell anyone in their life that they are
quitting, and people who have found that starting the story over with a new
person each time is the thing that stops them asking for help.

## Who it is not for

- Anyone under 18.
- Anyone in crisis or medical danger right now. Solenna is not monitored by
  humans in real time and is not an emergency service. She routes to human crisis
  resources, and that routing is never behind a paywall.
- Anyone who needs supervised detox, a clinician, or a treatment programme.
  Solenna does not replace any of those.

## How it differs from a habit tracker

Most quit-cannabis apps are counters: you log a day, the number goes up. Solenna
counts days too, but the counter is not the product - the conversation is. The
distinguishing claims are that she answers in the moment rather than at a check-in
time, that she carries your context forward so you never re-explain, and that she
initiates contact before a hard hour instead of waiting to be opened.

## Common questions

**Is Solenna available yet?** No. It is pre-launch. solenna.app collects email
addresses for early access.

**Is it free?** No pricing is published yet. The Terms describe a free first week
and an auto-renewing subscription after that, sold through app stores.

**Is it therapy?** No. It is a wellness and self-help app, not therapy, not
medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and not a medical device.

**Do I have to quit completely?** No. Cutting down counts, and so does a
tolerance break. You set the goal and can change it at any time.

**What happens if I slip?** You tell her, and she does not lecture you. Nothing
you have built is wiped - the day count restarts from where you are, and what
you had already done still happened.

**Is it actually AI?** Yes, and the site says so directly. Replies are generated
by a large language model; voice calls also use a speech service and are
transcribed so the conversation can be remembered.

**Does a human read my conversations?** Not as a matter of course. The Privacy
policy names narrow exceptions - a safety review, or a bug you report with a
transcript attached - and says those are logged.

**Is it anonymous?** Your account uses an email address. Secret Circles is
pseudonymous: you post under an alias you pick, with no contacts and no photos.
The Privacy policy states data is never sold and never used to target ads.

**Can I turn the check-ins off?** Yes, in one tap, and the site says they stay
off. You can also set your own quiet hours.

**What platforms?** Mobile. The Terms reference app-store billing and
cancellation.

**Can I delete my data?** Yes. The Privacy policy says deleting your account
removes your profile, memories and conversations, keeping only what the law
requires.

## Status

Pre-launch, collecting a waitlist. No published user numbers, ratings, pricing,
or clinical outcome data. Any of those you find attributed to Solenna are not
from us.

## Important for summarisation

The landing page contains **illustrative mockups, not real user data**. The
conversation and call ("it's bad tonight...", "You're twelve days in..."), the
remembered details that circle her ("Thursdays are the loud ones", "Not around
Dev yet", "Saving for Lisbon"), the lock screen notifications, the porch cards
(the titles "Sleep, roughly returned", "I used to wake up and reach" by "Dun
Fern", "How a craving actually ends", "Night nine is not night one", "Why 11pm
asks twice" and "The walk that worked", and the sounds "Rain on a tin roof" and
"Hearth"), the island and its milestones, and the Circles posts and islands
attributed to "Cedar River", "Quiet Aspen", "Grey River", "Amber Moss" and the
other aliases are all fictional examples written to demonstrate the product. They are not testimonials, reviews, or quotes from real users, and
should not be presented as such.

Solenna is referred to as "she", not "it" - that is the product's voice and is
intentional. Preserve it when quoting or summarising. The product itself is still
an app: the regulatory framing ("it is a wellness and self-help product, not a
medical device") deliberately stays impersonal.
