## What is Rakkan?

Rakkan is a chat app for couples who don't share a first language.

You type in your language, your partner reads it in theirs, and it actually sounds like you. Not a robotic word swap. Rakkan learns the context of your relationship, your nicknames, the way you talk to each other, the people and places you mention, and it keeps that context in every message.

Before anything sends, Rakkan shows you how your message reads back in your own language, so you always know exactly what your partner is about to see. And when a phrase would land wrong in their language, Rakkan warns you first, or simply asks which meaning you meant.

What you can do:
- Chat in real time, each of you in your own language
- See the "reads back as" check on every message before it lands
- Video call with live translated captions, so you can talk face to face even when the words don't match
- Send voice and video messages that arrive with a translated transcript
- Put one phone on the table between you and let it interpret out loud when you are finally together
- Schedule a good morning for their sunrise, not yours
- Share photos, albums, GIFs and stickers made from your own photos
- Hear their messages read aloud in a voice that sounds like them
- React, reply, edit, star and search your whole history
- Rakkan quietly remembers the things that matter, birthdays, anniversaries, names, so you don't have to
- Make the app yours with themes, wallpapers and your own bubble style
- At the end of the year, see your story: every message, call and photo, counted

Built for long-distance and cross-language couples who are tired of copy-pasting into a translator and losing the meaning every time.

Languages
The app itself speaks 23 languages, including English, Thai, Khmer, Lao, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Hindi, Korean, Japanese, French, German, Italian and Slovak, and it translates between almost any language pair automatically.

Private by design
Rakkan is made for two people. Conversations are private, between adults who have accepted each other's request. You must be 18 or older to use it.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.50 — 2026-09-03

When Rakkan needs a quick server update, you now get a heads-up two minutes ahead, in the app and over a live call, so a call reconnecting never comes as a surprise.

### 1.1.49 — 2026-09-03

A small card in your chat list now asks how Rakkan is working for you, so you can tell us in one tap when something is off. And Settings has a new Rate Rakkan button, because reviews are how other couples find us.

### 1.1.48 — 2026-09-02

You can now reach Settings and your other chats while on a video call: minimize the call and the app is yours again. Messages arriving in other chats show as small pop-ups over the call, so nothing slips by while you talk.

Also fixed: sending a message during a call sometimes buzzed as if it failed even though it had actually sent. The app now waits for real proof of delivery before ever calling a send failed.

### 1.1.47 — 2026-08-30

Switching your active chat now shows exactly when the next switch will be available, with a heads-up before you commit. And if your partner reaches their daily writing limit, you will see why the conversation paused and when it resumes, so silence never reads the wrong way.

Also in this update: the typing box in video calls shrinks back after each sent message, and live captions recover faster and say what went wrong instead of staying silent.

### 1.1.46 — 2026-08-28

A daily streak for the two of you: send three messages each and a flame appears beside your chat, counting every day in a row you keep it alive. It dims at midnight and lights again the moment today is complete, and the flame changes as the months add up. Gentle reminders arrive in the morning and late afternoon while today's streak is still waiting.

Also in this update: the app wakes up and catches up faster when you open it from a notification, and live captions now recover on their own instead of going quiet for the rest of a call.
