1. What is The Wave?
A simple, text-based journaling experience where you get a daily prompt and a chance to see how someone else answered it.2. How does it work?
Each evening (9PM EST/ 6PM PST), you'll receive a journaling prompt by text. When you reply, you’ll instantly get to “peek” at a real (anonymous) response from someone else.3. Is it anonymous?
Yes. Everything you send is anonymous when shared as a peek. Your phone number or name is never shown to anyone else.4. Who can sign up?
Anyone with a US and Canada (+1) phone number can sign up. We hope to expand further in the near future.5. Do I have to respond every day?
Nope! You can skip days if you want — but you’ll only get a peek when you send a response.6. What kinds of prompts will I get?
Prompts range from reflective (“What’s something you’re proud of today?”) to playful (“What’s a weird habit you secretly love?”). All designed to spark thought.7. How much does it cost?
The Wave is completely free. We may open up optional donations for users who want to show their support. However, it's only available to US users right now.8. What happens to my responses?
Your responses may be shared as anonymous peeks with other users, but we never show names or contact info. We're building this with care and respect for privacy.9. Can I customize my prompt or when I receive it?
Unfortunately, we don't offer these options at the moment but we're working on it (and some other things)!10. I have another question!
