How Haven works
Haven is a private space for AI-guided reflection. There is no feed, no score, and no audience — just a quiet room where you put what's on your mind into words, and a guide that helps you think it through.
1. Choose a guide
A guide is an original AI communication style — not a person, and not a therapist. Each one shapes the questions you're asked, the tone of the conversation, and the practical framing, while the same safety rules apply to every one:
- Healing CoachRecommended — for working through what still hurts.
- Boundary & Word Coach — for hard conversations, conflict, and boundaries.
- Life Design Coach — for life-changing exercises you actually follow through on.
You can switch guides whenever you like. Many people settle into one; others pick differently depending on the day.
2. Talk or type
Open a conversation and say what's actually going on — half-formed is fine. Your guide listens, reflects your own reasoning back to you, and asks the kind of questions that help you untangle a knot: What's the real worry underneath this? What would you tell a friend in the same spot? What's one honest next step?
If speaking feels more natural than writing, call mode lets you have the whole conversation out loud — you talk, Haven answers in a voice, and the exchange is saved as text like any other reflection. There's more on why that helps on the voice reflection page.
3. Leave lighter
A good session ends with the tab closed. Haven is deliberately built without streaks, badges, or notifications engineered to pull you back — success is naming the feeling, seeing the pattern, and getting on with your day. Your reflection history stays saved to your account, so you can return to a thread on any signed-in device when you choose to.
What Haven remembers, and who can see it
Your reflections are tied to your account and are never public, never sold, and never used for advertising. Message text is sent to the AI provider only to screen for safety and generate the reply. Analytics is optional, pseudonymous, and never includes what you write — and you can turn it off (which also deletes the stored events) in Settings. The details are spelled out in the Privacy Policy and the FAQ.
What it costs
You can try Haven free with a one-time 75K weighted-token trial — no credit card required. After that, the Pro plan is $25/month for regular, ongoing reflection, and the Max plan is $100/month — four times the Pro price for 5× the weekly usage. Both include every guide and call mode. Full details are on the pricing section of the homepage, and you can cancel anytime in Settings.
What Haven is not
Haven is a reflection tool. It is not therapy, not medical care, and not a crisis service, and it doesn't diagnose or treat anything. If you're weighing Haven against professional support, the honest comparison is on Haven vs. therapy.
