Questions about Aynshara.
How the app works, what it costs, and how it handles your data.
What is Aynshara?
A private reflection app for iPhone, Android, and web. Write a Moment, choose one of fifteen Lenses, and read a reflection based on your own words. The app gives no advice or diagnosis. Over time it identifies recurring patterns, suggests a current archetype read, and prepares a monthly Distillation.
Is this AI?
Yes. AI composes reflections and Distillations from your own words. The Lenses, archetypes, Quests, and output rules were written by the Aynshara team. Automated checks reject advice, diagnosis, and unsupported claims before a response appears. Your words are not used to train models.
What does a founding seat include?
A $499 Spectrum seat includes all fifteen Lenses, every voice, every Quest, unlimited Moments, and monthly Distillations for the life of the account. A $1,499 Practitioner seat adds weekly Distillations, the methodology behind each Lens, and permission to use Distillations in professional work. Both are one-time purchases with no renewal.
What if I want a refund — or you disappear?
You can request a full refund within thirty days. If Aynshara closes, members will receive at least 90 days’ notice and a complete export of their Record.
When do I get the app?
Founding members receive access in stages during private testing. Public launch is planned for fall 2026. We will email each member when their access is ready.
Who is behind this?
Aynshara was founded by Alexander Anguelov, David Le Rouse, and Ilian Nikolov. They developed the product together after a series of conversations in Bangkok. Meet the founders.
Is this therapy?
No. Aynshara is a self-reflection app, not therapy or medical care. It does not diagnose or treat any condition. If you are in crisis, use the Grounding page to find immediate human support. Help is here.
What is a Distillation?
A Distillation is a monthly summary of recurring words, themes, and changes across your Moments, reflections, and Crucibles. It quotes your own language and links back to the source entries.
What if I don’t know what to write?
Start with one sentence. “I keep thinking about Tuesday” is enough. You can add context later if it helps.
Will it tell me what to do?
No. That refusal is the design. The Mirror shows you what you said, what you did, and what recurs. What to do about it stays yours.
Who can read my Moments?
Only you can read your Moments in the app. They are encrypted, are not sold, and are not used as model-training data. You can export or delete your Record.
