Everything you need
to feel heard.
Six interconnected pillars designed to support, guide, and grow with every user — from first chat to long-term wellness. All free to start.
Connect instantly with a compatible peer. No photos, no profiles, no public identity — pure human connection based on mood and challenge tags.
- Randomly assigned nickname each session
- Age-appropriate matching (teens with teens, young adults with young adults)
- Location-blind matching for full anonymity
- Optional re-match if connection isn't feeling right
Our algorithm scores every potential match across five factors in under 100ms to find the right peer at the right moment.
- Mood delta: sharers (low) matched with listeners (stable)
- Challenge tag overlap (exam stress, anxiety, grief, etc.)
- Prior interaction quality score
- Session duration preference alignment
After a great conversation, set up weekly check-ins with the same trusted peer. Build a real support relationship over time without revealing your identity.
- Opt-in after any successful chat
- Nickname-only identity — full anonymity maintained
- SMS / push reminders before each session
- Easy reschedule or cancel anytime
Choose your role before each session: Listener, Sharer, or Both. Creates clarity, prevents mismatched expectations, and respects what you need right now.
- Listener: focused on supporting others today
- Sharer: need to talk and be heard
- Both: open to either direction
- Role can change every session
Text by default. Optional voice chat (Phase 2) and moderated video (Phase 3) — each mode requiring explicit consent from both participants.
- Text: default, lowest barrier, full privacy
- Voice: more personal, optional microphone permission
- Video: Phase 3, moderated and consent-gated
- Mode switch always requires mutual agreement
Quick 1–5 emoji rating at the start and end of every chat. Tracks your emotional shift and feeds your personal mood journey graph over time.
- 5-point emoji scale — accessible and non-clinical
- Pre/post comparison shown immediately after chat
- Data feeds your weekly mood graph
- Optional one-sentence reflection after chat
A category of one.
Solaria doesn't compete with therapy apps or social media. It creates an entirely new category.

| Crisis Text Line | Crisis-only intervention | Everyday support — proactive wellness, not just emergencies |
