A paid, auto-renewing Mediator Pro subscription (monthly or yearly) is required for AI conversations and all in-app relationship guidance. Downloading the app and pairing with your partner are free. You keep having the same argument. You say your side. They say theirs. Nobody feels heard. It keeps happening because arguments have a pattern: you say something hurtful, they get defensive, they say something hurtful, you get defensive. Repeat. Not because you don't care, but because you care too much to feel safe being vulnerable. What if someone could hear both of you? Mediator is an AI couples therapist that talks to each partner privately. You each message the same mediator from your own phone. It reads both perspectives, finds the real issue underneath the frustration, and helps each person say what they actually mean, reframed so the other person can hear it. Same feeling. No accusation. Now they can actually hear it. YOUR HONESTY IS PROTECTED You never see their messages. They never see yours. That privacy lets you say what you actually mean without worrying about how it lands. The mediator translates it so they can hear it. ALWAYS THERE WHEN YOU NEED IT No appointments. No waiting rooms. No $200/hour. When things get hard, open the app. Your mediator is ready. GREAT FOR - The same argument you keep having - Repair after a fight - Resentment, hurt, or miscommunication - Relationship check-ins before things get worse - Preparing for a hard in-person conversation Mediator is a relationship communication tool, not a replacement for a licensed therapist, crisis services, or emergency support. It does not provide medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making any decisions about your mental health.
