AraVela
Your private sanctuary with Vela
A locked journal and supportive companion for emotional reflection. Your thoughts, your ownership, encrypted on your device.
AraVela is currently in an early release phase. Features will continue to evolve as safety tools, follow-up support, and connection systems grow. Your experience helps shape its development.
Encrypted on Your Device
Your diary entries, patterns, and session history are encrypted locally using Web Crypto (AES-GCM) with a key derived from your passcode. Without it, no one — including us — can read your data.
Your Autonomy
Nothing is saved unless you choose to. Tap Save to Diary when a session matters, delete entries anytime, and end sessions on your terms. Vela is a companion, not therapy — you're always in the driver's seat.
No Recovery, No Backdoor
Forgot your passcode? Your data stays sealed. That's real security — we can't help you back in, and no one else can either. Your data belongs only to you.
Your Rhythm, Your Choice
Nothing leaves your device. In Vela, tap Save to Diary when an entry matters — that's the one deliberate moment it's persisted, encrypted with your passcode. In Ara, your conversations save automatically on your device as they develop; Save Reflection is an optional way to mark something meaningful you'd like to return to.
Ara — a sanctuary for the ones who care
Ara is a private, independent companion for people supporting someone else — partners, family, friends, caregivers, peers. It helps you reflect, communicate compassionately, understand relational dynamics without diagnosing anyone, and care for your own needs and boundaries.
Looking ahead: Vela and Ara may eventually support carefully controlled, consent-based sharing of selected support preferences between the two companions. That bridge is not yet available — Ara works today as its own independent companion.
AraVela is not therapy and does not provide medical advice.
