common questions
is shutap pseudonymous?
yes. you get a persistent alias like 🦉 Quiet Indonesian Owl. your real name, email, and identity stay permanently outside.
is it ok to vent about money without asking for advice?
yes. rooms are optional — a card only leaves your set if you post it.
is this therapy?
no. shutap writes jokes, not prescriptions. it is an entertainment service, not a medical, mental-health, or crisis service. in an emergency, call or text 988 (US) or visit findahelpline.com.
does it cost anything?
typing your situation and reading your set are free. the full mirror — your patterns read as cards — requires a subscription.
what happens after i spill?
a room opens. people who’ve lived your exact thing sit in. over the next days the companion checks in — what happened next? that is your mirror starting to form.

say it here.

open a room. someone who's lived your exact money thing is around.
