01What is Tovana?
+
Tovana is a social healing platform where people can journal privately, share anonymous stories when they feel ready, and connect through emotional resonance instead of likes, followers, or performance.
02Is Tovana a therapy app?
+
No. Tovana does not diagnose, treat, or replace therapists, doctors, crisis lines, or professional mental health care. It is designed as a gentle companion for reflection, emotional awareness, and meaningful community support.
03Is my journal private?
+
Yes. Your journal is private by default. A journal entry only becomes visible to others if you intentionally choose to transform it into an anonymous Seed Story.
04What does anonymous sharing mean?
+
Anonymous sharing means your story can be felt without exposing your name, profile, or identity. The goal is to make vulnerability safer while still allowing others to recognize themselves in your truth.
05What is a Sprout?
+
A Sprout is a small guided prompt that helps you begin writing. It is designed for moments when you feel something deeply but do not know how to put it into words yet.
06What is a Seed Story?
+
A Seed Story is a journal entry you choose to share anonymously with the community. It allows your experience to become something another person can witness, resonate with, or quietly feel less alone through.
07What is an Echo?
+
An Echo is a gentle signal of resonance. Instead of liking, judging, debating, or commenting publicly, someone can quietly say that your story helped them feel seen, hopeful, understood, or less alone.
08What is Echo Bloom?
+
Echo Bloom is an AI-supported reflection that helps reveal why a story connected with others. It may highlight emotional themes, shared patterns, and the deeper meaning behind the resonance your story created.
09How does Tovana decide what stories I see?
+
Tovana does not optimize for outrage, virality, or endless scrolling. It gently adapts the story stream around emotional themes you connect with, such as grief, loneliness, hope, forgiveness, recovery, or growth.
10What does Tovana actually track?
+
Tovana is designed to track emotional patterns that help your own reflection, such as mood shifts, themes, triggers, breakthrough signals, and healing progress. It is not built around engagement, screen time, public popularity, or follower pressure.
11Does Tovana use likes, comments, or followers?
+
No. Tovana is intentionally designed away from traditional social media mechanics. The platform centers resonance, reflection, and human stories instead of likes, follower counts, public arguments, or performance metrics.
12When will Tovana launch?
+
Tovana is currently preparing early access. Joining the waitlist is the best way to receive launch updates, private beta invitations, and progress notes as the platform is built.
