## What is Keep It Civil?

It's 11 p.m. and you've re-typed the same text to someone close to you 10 times.  You've been putting this conversation off for a week because you don't know what to say without risking an uncomfortable situation, or worse, and all-out fight.  You delete it again.

Keep It Civil helps you find the words you actually want to send — to your
partner after a fight, to your ex about the kids, to your boss about
something you can't let slide.

Keep It Civil will help you find the right words for these tough conversations so you can move forward. 

USE IT FOR

• The text you've been afraid to send
• The apology that doesn't grovel
• The "we need to talk" message you can't get right
• The reply when your in-laws crossed a line
• The breakup that doesn't burn the bridge
• The boundary you've been meaning to set
• The hard conversation about money, parenting, distance
• The boss email you've started and deleted six times
• The group chat going sideways with your siblings
• The co-parent message that doesn't escalate
• The business that owes you a refund. 


HOW IT WORKS

Tell us what happened. Pick your relationship and tone. Get a calm, clear
response in seconds. Copy, edit if you'd like, and send.


WHAT YOU GET

• Track your relationships in one place — partner, ex, mom, dad, boss,
  coworker, in-law, sibling, friend, coparent, etc . . 
• Tone control: calm, honest, firm, or playful
• A private journal to reflect after you send
• Civil Streak — share and track how many days you've kept it civil!
• Multiple response options for every situation
• Works across every relationship type, every conflict type


PRIVACY

Your conversations stay yours. No third-party trackers. No advertising
network in your private moments. We never sell your data. Ever.


PRICING

Start free. Three subscription tiers when you're ready:

• Civil Pro $9.99/mo — for one person, unlimited replies
• Civil Families $39.99/mo — for up to 10 people, one subscription covers the entire family 
• Civil Teams $199.99/mo — for businesses or teams doing their best to maintain civility 

One subscription covers your couple, family, or co-parent pair — no
per-person pricing. Cancel anytime.

It is not therapy, legal advice, or emergency help. It is the calm voice
in your pocket when you have to send a hard message and don't want to
sound like the worst version of yourself.
