Question 1

Can I use this at 2am when I'm spiraling?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your Council is always awake. Tap 'I need help now' for instant grounding — the 5-4-3-2-1 technique, box breathing, or a quick Council check-in. We built this for exactly those moments when your mind won't quiet down.

Question 2

What is the Inner Council?

Accepted Answer

You know that feeling when different parts of you want different things? Your Inner Protector says be careful. Your Inner Connector says stay open. Your Inner Observer says there's a third option. That's not confusion — that's your Inner Council. You have 10 inner voices, each with wisdom, each trying to help. InnerOS lets you hear them one at a time, so YOU can finally decide.

Question 3

Wait, 10 voices? That sounds... intense.

Accepted Answer

It's actually a relief. You've been hosting this council meeting your whole life — you just didn't have an agenda. When all 10 voices talk at once, you call it 'overthinking' or 'anxiety.' When they speak one at a time, you call it 'wisdom' or 'intuition.' Same council. Better meeting.

Question 4

How long does this take?

Accepted Answer

10 minutes to clarity. That's the promise. Quick breathing exercise? 3 minutes. Full Inner Council session? 10-15 minutes. Most people find their next step in a single session. We're anti-dopamine by design — we want you OUT of the app, not endlessly scrolling.

Question 5

How is this different from ChatGPT?

Accepted Answer

ChatGPT is a stranger giving generic advice. It forgets everything. It doesn't know your patterns. InnerOS is YOUR wisdom through 10 inner voices — trained on your journal entries, remembering your patterns, showing you when you've been here before. ChatGPT tells you what to do. InnerOS helps you hear what you already know.

Question 6

How is this different from Calm or Headspace?

Accepted Answer

Those apps help you relax. That's valuable. But sometimes you don't need to relax — you need to understand WHY you're not relaxed. We don't give you someone else's script. We help you hear your own voices, then match you with the right tool: breathing, journaling, or a full Council session.

Question 7

What if I don't like what my Council says?

Accepted Answer

Good. That's the point. Your Inner Protector might say something your Inner Connector disagrees with. Your Inner Achiever might push while your Inner Nurturer says rest. The discomfort IS the insight — it shows you where the tension lives. You're not supposed to agree with all 10 voices. You're supposed to hear them, then decide.

Question 8

Is the psychology real?

Accepted Answer

Very real. InnerOS is built on Carl Jung's archetypes and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy — frameworks used by therapists worldwide for decades. We're not making up 'inner voices.' We're giving you a structured way to access what's already there.

Question 9

Is my data private?

Accepted Answer

Your inner world is sacred. Everything is encrypted. We never sell your data. We never share it. You can export or delete everything anytime. This isn't a social network mining your emotions — it's a mirror that belongs to you.

Question 10

Can this replace therapy?

Accepted Answer

No, and we'd never claim that. InnerOS is for daily self-awareness — the 23 hours between therapy sessions. Think of it as practice: building the muscle of self-reflection so you can go deeper with a professional. If you're in crisis, please reach out to a therapist or crisis line.

Question 11

How much does InnerOS cost?

Accepted Answer

14-day free trial, no credit card required. Then $9.99/month forever for founding members (₹199 in India). After founding closes, Premium is $19.99/month. Cancel anytime.
