Updates

What changed and why it matters to you. Design log, not blog.

Boundaries & Comfort

Feb 2026

We separated safety rules from personal comfort settings. You can now shape how close or playful your companion feels in Settings, while core protections stay in place.

Why this matters: You get more control without things ever crossing lines you didn't agree to..

Companion style & role

Feb 2026

The landing hero now rotates through roles (companion, girlfriend, boyfriend, Companion, husbando, muse, fairy, best friend) so the copy matches how you see your companion. Hina and Hiro hero images switch with the role.

Why this matters: The product says what it is: companion-first, role-selectable. You decide who they are..

Persona Contract Preview

Feb 2026

Before your first chat, we show a short summary of how your companion will behave: remembers meaningful moments, responds with warmth not ownership, adapts to your chosen role, respects your comfort boundaries.

Why this matters: Reduces mismatch and disappointment. You know what to expect..

Chat bubbles

Feb 2026

Your messages now use a neutral color by default. Pink stays for buttons and accents so the UI matches companion-first, role-selectable positioning.

Why this matters: The screen doesn't push intimacy by default. Tone is yours to set..

Persona & safety split

Feb 2026

Persona (identity and voice) and safety (what we never do, boundaries, warden behavior) are now separate under the hood. Core safety stays server-only; you only tune comfort in Settings.

Why this matters: Trust: limits are design, not failure. We document how this works..
