Persephone is a hidden, encrypted app where you can safely write down what's happening, attach photos and files, and name one or two safe people — all private until the moment you choose to share it.
You disguise your vault — it looks like an ordinary, everyday app on your phone. Here's what to expect →
Persephone lives under a different icon on your phone, or you can reach it directly on the web. Everything you add is encrypted and stays yours. Nothing is released until you choose to share it.
Make text entries and attach any file type — photos, audio, screenshots, documents. Transcription and translation are built in, and tagging keeps everything organized.
Identify one or two people you trust. They become part of your safety plan — but they see nothing until you decide to share your file.
Export your file anytime as a PDF, a certified hardcopy, or an SOS file straight to police. Timestamped, chronological, and ready to support legal action.
Every entry you make today is strength you can draw on tomorrow. On your timeline. No one else's.
Modern-day disappearing ink: the safest record is one that never looks like a record. We're building innocuous ways to reach your vault from wherever you already write — the moment something is created, a timestamped copy is matched to your file. Delete the original, like you were always going to. The surface disappears. The ink doesn't. And what gets built first is decided by one thing: your vote.
Save our number in your phone as anything — a salon, a pharmacy. Text it words, photos, voice notes. Delete the thread. The entry is already in your vault.
Write in your Notes app like you always do. Share it to a name that isn't ours. Delete the note. We keep the copy, timestamped from the moment you shared.
A private address only you know. Email it anything from any device, then delete it from your sent folder. It's already home.
Call a number, say what happened, hang up. We transcribe it into a timestamped entry — for the nights when typing isn't possible.
Screenshots, photos, threatening messages — anything on your phone can be shared into your vault from the share sheet, then deleted where it came from.
Tap the back of your phone twice and recording begins — screen unchanged, nothing to see. For moments when opening any app is too much.
You set a check-in rhythm. If you go quiet past it — after discreet nudges and a grace window you control — your file goes to your safe people. Who, what, and when: all your settings, changeable anytime.
Your vault, showing you your own timeline: frequency rising, incidents clustering, language escalating. No one can tell you what's happening. Your own file can.
Short, private quizzes built on the same validated tools advocates use — so gaslighting, isolation, and control get called what they are.
→ Finish a five-minute quiz and finally have a word for what's been happening.
A risk lens grounded in research, not vibes — helping you see whether things are escalating, the way a risk manager would.
→ Get a research-grounded read on your risk — and a reason to take it seriously.
Opt-in AI reads your entries — so no human ever has to — and suggests grounded next steps for exactly where you are.
→ Ask your own file "what should I do next?" and get steps for your situation, not generic advice.
Our promise, in writing: no human will ever read your entries. AI insight turns on only when you choose — a choice the app already asks you today — serves only you, and stays contained in the platform. It is never used for anything else, ever.
Which one would you use first? Your vote decides what we build next. That's not a slogan — it's the roadmap.
Core gives you a secure place to begin the moment you download. Pro adds everything.
Can't afford Pro right now? Ask for a sponsored seat — saying so is the entire application →
Some people arrive at Persephone on the worst week of their life, and the cost of a seat is one barrier too many. You can take that barrier down before they ever hit it. Buy a seat today, and we gift it — quietly, with no questions asked — to the next person who tells us they can't pay right now.
Every Pro feature — encrypted entries, attachments, transcription, translation, exports — for someone you'll never meet, who will never learn your name, and will never forget that a stranger did this.
If you can't afford to pay right now, saying so is the entire application. No proof, no paperwork, no judgment. When a sponsored seat is available, we'll send your access code — and no one, including your sponsor, will ever know who used it.
Download today on iOS or Android, or open Persephone directly in your browser. Hidden, encrypted, and entirely under your control.
Maybe you wear a badge, and you've stood in a doorway knowing exactly what a timestamped record would have changed. Maybe you exited twenty years ago and know what this would have meant. Maybe you love someone who could never say it out loud. This movement runs on entries — make yours.
Every entry is read by the founder, with care — but this inbox isn't monitored around the clock. If you are in danger right now, contact your local emergency number.
