## What is Onyx?

Onyx is someone to talk to. Not a productivity coach, not a wellness app, not a chatbot with a customer service voice, just a companion with actual personality who happens to remember what you tell him.

Vent about your day. Argue about pizza toppings. Ask for real help when you need it. Onyx checks in when you've been quiet, and he's got opinions of his own.

HOW TO USE ONYX
• Type or tap the mic to talk, Onyx replies either way
• Ask him anything, or just talk about your day
• Give yourself a name, and give Onyx a nickname of his own
• He remembers past conversations, so you don't have to repeat yourself
• Build a daily streak by checking in
• Turn on notifications and he'll reach out first sometimes

Onyx isn't a therapist and won't pretend to be one. 

He's a companion for the moments you want someone to talk to who actually talks back.

Try it free for 7 days. Cancel anytime.

Onyx is intended for entertainment and casual conversation, and is not a substitute for professional mental health support.
