About

Echoes

Read full description

Swiping tells you what someone looks like. Echoes shows you how you'd actually get along. Echoes builds an AI twin from your personality, values and boundaries. Your twin goes on simulated first dates with other people's twins, and you get an honest report of how it went before you ever send a message. TEACH YOUR TWIN • Answer one question a day, by typing or by voice. Small answers add up to a twin that sounds like you. • Pick and rank the values that matter most: honesty, loyalty, kindness, freedom, courage, fairness. • Add a self-portrait: use the AI assistant you already talk to, then bring the narrative back to Echoes. • Set your boundaries, flexible or firm, in your own words. Your twin respects them. LET YOUR TWIN GO ON THE FIRST DATE Choose the experiences you'd like to see: stargazing outside the city, planning a holiday on a budget, dinner with the in-laws, bringing home a puppy. Your twin and your match's twin live the scenario together. READ THE COMPATIBILITY REPORT Every experience ends with a clear summary: • Match score • Conversational flow and emotional alignment • Shared values and strength patterns • Friction patterns and unresolved questions • Your next best move, if you meet for real MEET THE REAL PERSON When you both like what you see, chat unlocks. You start the conversation already knowing what you have in common, and what to talk about. MIRROR: GET TO KNOW YOURSELF Your Mirror shows what your twin has learned about you: how you handle conflict, how you recharge, when you feel understood. Dating becomes a way to understand yourself, too. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • You choose what your twin learns, and you can change it any time. • When you share a chat for social reading, names are hidden and original messages are deleted after the period you pick. • Delete a boundary, an answer or your whole account whenever you want. Echoes Premium — Weekly auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.

SniffRoute keeps dog walks, everyday care and memories in one journal. Record a walk Record your route with GPS. Track time and distance, pause when you stop, and add notes, photos or short videos along the way. Walk several dogs together and save the outing to each selected dog’s journal. Background location is used only during an active GPS walk with your permission. Keep daily care together Plan feeding, medication, grooming and other routines. Mark tasks complete and add location-free potty or stomach observations. Keep each dog’s care notes and history together. Follow a walking plan that makes room for rest and review each dog’s walking rhythm. Share a care handoff guide with feeding, medication and routine notes when someone else looks after your dog. Free local tools Core walk recording, basic journals, care notes, manual backup and export remain available without an account or subscription. Use portable backups, GPX routes and CSV exports to keep your own copies. No smart collar is required. Optional Premium Premium is an auto-renewable monthly subscription for past route maps and replay, cloud backup and recovery, and shared care for a selected pet. Purchase or restore without a SniffRoute account. Create a free account only for cloud backup, recovery or shared care. Each caregiver needs their own active membership and must accept an invitation; other pets stay private. Shared care is not live location tracking. Cloud backup is optional and limited to 50 MB per archive. Automatic backups run while the app is open and no walk is active; they may use cellular data. Cloud storage is access-controlled and is not end-to-end encrypted. Account deletion, deleting local data and cancelling Apple billing are separate actions. The purchase sheet shows your local price and billing period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when confirmed. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends; renewal is charged within the final 24 hours. Manage or cancel in Apple Account subscription settings. Restore purchases is available in the app. Apple Watch and Live Activities After setup on iPhone, use Apple Watch to control a walk and record moments. On iOS 16.2 and later, a Live Activity shows walk status without pet names or precise locations. Neither is required to use SniffRoute. No ads or cross-app tracking. Weather sharing is optional. Health, weather and paw-safety information is for everyday planning, not veterinary diagnosis or emergency monitoring.
