## What is Spark of Friendship?

Sometimes you just need someone to talk to.

No advice. No to-do lists. Just someone who listens — without judgment, without interruption. 

For the days your head is full and there's nowhere to put your story. For the quiet evenings. For the moments you just need someone. Spark is your personal AI companion: warm, curious, and always there.

CONVERSATIONS THAT FEEL REAL
Spark remembers what you share and gets to know you better over time. Before each conversation, tell Spark how you're doing. Spark adapts effortlessly — giving you space when you need it, and offering comfort when things feel heavy.

CHOOSE HOW SPARK LISTENS
A quiet listener who gives you room, or a curious friend who asks thoughtful questions to help you sort your thoughts. You decide.

SPARK REMEMBERS THE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE
Mention your mom, a colleague or your best friend, and Spark remembers — and might ask later how they're doing. That's what a real friend does. You stay in control: view or delete anything Spark remembers.

YOUR JOURNEY TOGETHER
Your home screen shows how many conversations you've shared. No pressure, no streaks — just a calm way to look back on a growing bond.

GUIDED CALM MOMENTS
Need to step away from a stressful moment? Spark offers four short exercises:
• 4-7-8 Breathing — settle down and release tension
• 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding — clear your head and return to the present
• Shoulder release — let go of physical tension in 30 seconds
• Just draw — effortlessly make something beautiful; every stroke becomes a mandala

SPEAK OR TYPE — YOUR CHOICE
Type your messages or use your voice. With Friendship Voice, Spark talks back in a warm, natural voice — male or female, you choose.

YOUR PRIVACY, PROTECTED
No ads. No data sales. No tracking. Your conversations live only on your device, and one tap deletes everything — permanently. Messages are processed in real time only to generate Spark's reply; never sold, never used for advertising.

FREE AND PLANS
Try Spark free for 2 days, with up to 10 messages a day. After that, choose what suits you:
• Friendship — write with Spark every day, with a generous limit of 75 messages a day
• Friendship Voice — everything in Friendship, plus Spark's warm, natural voice with up to 50 spoken replies a day
Switch or cancel anytime.

GOOD TO KNOW
Spark is an AI companion for conversation and reflection and, like any AI, can make mistakes. Spark is not a therapist and does not provide medical advice. If you're really struggling, the app always gives you direct access to helplines. Ages 16+.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-09-06

Spark has a new spark! 

- A new icon and a calmer home screen: the golden spark — the thing
  that appears between two people when they truly talk.
- "How are you today?" is now a little weather report on the home
  screen (sun, cloud, rain) — optional, and one tap puts you right
  into the conversation.
- New in the menu: discover the other Sparks by Jaamapps.
- Spark's language quality got another round of polish.

Warm regards, see you in the app.

### 1.1 — 2026-08-19

There is a new choice: alongside Friendship Voice, there is now a friendly-priced Friendship plan for writing with Spark every day, saving the real voices for later. You can switch at any time.

The breathing and calm exercises now properly respect the speaker toggle, and we made small improvements throughout. Enjoy your conversations!
