The Other Chair
The Other Chair App

The conversation begins before both people enter the room.

Each person prepares privately. The system uses only mutually accepted topics and the lighter depth limit. Nothing private is revealed without permission.

01

Invite

One respectful request. Accept, ask for information, decline, or Do Not Contact Again.

02

Prepare

Goals, boundaries, off-limit topics, support preferences, and future-contact expectations.

03

Talk

Synchronized prompts with Pass, Pause, Not Today, Go Deeper, and Stop.

04

Reflect

Private paired answers, what was learned, and what remains unresolved.

05

Preserve

Save only chosen memories, letters, photographs, voice notes, or shared answers.

Secure beta

Separate accounts. Independent consent. Shared room.

Supabase authentication, single-use invitation tokens, Row Level Security, and realtime room synchronization. Neither person can enroll the other.

Private closure

Closure cannot depend on someone else saying yes.

The solo path supports unsent letters, unanswered questions, self-accountability, and deciding what you will no longer carry.
