common questions
is shutap anonymous?
pseudonymous. you get a persistent alias like 🦉 Quiet Indonesian Owl. your real name, email, and identity stay permanently outside.
can i vent without starting a fight at home?
that is the whole point. pseudonymous rooms let you say what would blow up in your kitchen.
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 roommates thing is around.
