A grief companion

Frequently asked questions

Plain answers about what WithYou is, what's free, and how it handles safety and privacy.

What is WithYou?

WithYou is a grief companion app for the ordinary moments grief shows up, not only the loud ones. It supports people grieving a death, an anticipated death, a life change, or a loss they can't quite name yet. It is not a therapy replacement, a crisis service, or an AI recreation of the person who died.

Is WithYou free?

Yes. Talking it through, keeping memories, and grounding support during hard moments are free for everyone, including guests with no account. Nothing that helps a person get through a bad night sits behind a paywall. The only paid layer is Practice Living Today, an optional set of guided exercises for living inside a changed life, at $5.99 a month or $48 a year.

What is Practice Living Today?

Practice Living Today is WithYou's optional paid feature offering small, guided practices for daily living after loss, such as getting through a hard morning, asking for support, or allowing a moment of joy without guilt. It is separate from and does not replace the free companion features.

Does WithYou replace therapy or crisis support?

No. WithYou is a companion, not a therapist, clinician, or crisis service. If a user's messages suggest suicidal ideation, self-harm, or a medical emergency, WithYou shows crisis resources, including the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline in the US, and does not attempt to handle that moment on its own.

Does WithYou recreate or simulate the person who died?

No. WithYou does not create an AI version of the person you lost or pretend to speak for them. It supports you in remembering, reflecting, and living with the relationship you carry forward.

What kinds of grief does WithYou support?

WithYou supports grief after a death, anticipatory grief for someone who is seriously ill or dying, grief from a major life or relationship change, grief resurfacing from the past, and grief a person can't yet name. A user does not need to choose a label to receive support.

Do I need an account to use WithYou?

No. Guests can use core support features immediately with no account and no onboarding required. Creating a free account lets a person save memories and conversation history across sessions. A paid account adds the full Practice Living Today library.

Is my information private?

WithYou does not sell user data, in any package, at any price. Conversations, memories, and reflections are treated as sensitive and are not used for advertising.

Does WithYou work with hospices and funeral homes?

Yes. WithYou partners with hospice bereavement programs and funeral home aftercare teams to offer the app to families in their care at no cost to those families.
