About Starlight Sanctuary A gentle space for those who have lost someone they love, created to help you feel a little closer to the ones you miss. Why We Built This Missing someone doesn't follow a timeline. Some days you want to share good news with someone who's gone. Other days, you just want to say "I miss you." Starlight Sanctuary was born from the belief that writing to those we've lost can bring comfort, and that love transcends even the furthest distances. This is not therapy — it's a quiet, personal ritual. A moment to pause, reflect, and feel connected. How It Works Starlight Sanctuary is available via subscription. Choose from Basic (£4.99/month), Pro (£9.99/month), or Annual (£39.99/year) plans, with a 7-day free trial. Subscribers can write unlimited messages to loved ones and chat with Luna, our AI grief companion. Messages can be public (visible as a star in the Galaxy) or private (kept in your personal sanctuary). Your Trust Matters We understand that sharing your feelings requires trust. Here's what we promise: Private messages stay private. Only you can see them. We will never share, sell, or display your private messages. Payments are secure. Payments are processed securely via Apple In-App Purchase, one of the world's most trusted payment providers. We never see or store your card details. No spam, no tricks. We don't send marketing emails, we don't sell your data, and there are no hidden fees. One message = £1, simple as that. You can delete any message — public or private — at any time from your sanctuary. Your words, your choice. Who Is This For? Anyone who has lost someone they love. Whether it happened recently or years ago, whether you're still learning to live with the loss or simply want a place to keep their memory alive. There is no right or wrong way to use Starlight Sanctuary — if it brings you even a small moment of peace, then it has done its job. "The ones we love never truly leave us. They live on in the words we write and the stars we send." Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
