About

Luciyah

Read full description

Luciyah is a quiet way to send a compliment or say how you feel to someone you already know. Send up to three private pulses at once. They can independently send a pulse back. Your name only appears if you both choose the same pulse and it becomes a mutual. Pulses can be simple, appreciative and fun, such as Thank you, You make me laugh, You've got a great smile, or You're a great dancer. They can also help with feelings that are harder to say aloud, such as Let's reconnect, I'd like to work with you, or I fancy you. HOW IT WORKS β€’ Choose someone you already know. β€’ Pick the pulse or pulses that fit. β€’ If the same pulse comes back, it becomes a mutual and you both see it. The pulse type may appear in Received, but the sender's name stays private unless it becomes a mutual. No feed. No chat. No cold DMs. Nothing to scroll through or perform for. Luciyah is designed to help real conversations begin, then get out of the way. PRIVATE AND CONSENT-FIRST β€’ Contact identifiers are hashed before storage. β€’ Luciyah does not upload your contact list. If you use the contact picker, only the number you select is used. β€’ Pulses are reversible until they become mutual. β€’ Luciyah is for adults aged 18 and over. β€’ A four-digit PIN protects your account after SMS verification. β€’ Remove sent pulses, hide mutuals, or report a safety concern from inside the app. LUCIYAH+ Luciyah+ is an optional monthly subscription for people who want to support Luciyah. It reveals the type behind locked pulses you have received, but never who sent them. Relationship pulses stay completely private unless they become mutual. Manage or cancel your subscription through your Apple ID subscription settings. Luciyah is for romantic feelings, friendship, appreciation, reconnection and collaboration. Sometimes saying something is easier once you know it is shared. Terms of Use: https://anshinaltd.com/terms
