Third Voice

Third Voice helps you find the words for sensitive conversations without losing what you actually mean. Start with your own draft, choose a goal, and compare three concise alternatives. You can make a message warmer, more direct, more repair-focused, or clearer about space and boundaries. Each suggestion is designed to preserve your facts, commitments, uncertainty, and level of affection. Create a private communication profile using preferences that you or another person knowingly shared. Third Voice can use those preferences to shape suggestions without diagnosing anyone or guessing what they think. Use Third Voice in the app or open it from Messages. A suggestion is copied or inserted into the composer for you to review. Third Voice never sends a message for you. Privacy is built into the experience: • Communication profiles are encrypted on your device. • Drafts and rewrite history are not saved by Third Voice. • Cloud rewriting begins only after you give permission. • The app does not automatically read conversations, Contacts, or the clipboard. • There are no ads or cross-app tracking. Third Voice is writing assistance, not therapy or crisis support. You remain in control of what you say and whether you send it.
