Read full descriptionHide full description
Crossing Over is a quiet place to remember someone you love. Create a private profile of the person you miss: their name, the way they talked, what they called you, the stories you shared, the little habits that made them who they were. Then talk with an AI reflection shaped by those memories, in their voice. TALK WITH THEM Share news, ask for advice, or just say what you never got to say. Replies are warm, personal, and grounded in the details you provide. A MEMORY BANK THAT GROWS As you talk, Crossing Over gently remembers the new details you share, so every conversation feels more like them. ILLUSTRATED MEMORIES Describe a moment you shared and turn it into a soft illustration you can keep. PRIVATE AND RESPECTFUL Profiles and conversations stay on your iPhone. Nothing is shared until you agree, and you can turn AI sharing off at any time. Crossing Over is clear that it is an AI reflection, never the real person, and includes grief and crisis resources. PREMIUM Free includes a few messages each month. Crossing Over Premium unlocks unlimited conversations, illustrated memories, and multiple profiles. Monthly and yearly plans available. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Crossing Over is for remembrance and comfort. It is not therapy or emergency support. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 in the US. Terms of Use: https://crossing-over.pages.dev/terms Privacy Policy: https://crossing-over.pages.dev/privacy
