common questions
is shutap anonymous?
pseudonymous. 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. every room chooses between “being heard” and “open to advice.” you say what you want.
is this therapy?
no. shutap is a peer-support and journaling community with an AI companion. it is not a medical, mental-health, or crisis service. in an emergency, call or text 988 (US) or visit findahelpline.com.
does it cost anything?
venting, being heard, and rooms 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.
