Say the hard thing so it truly lands. Iskra reshapes your words through how your partner best receives them - their style, their pace, the language their heart grew up in.

Most fights aren't about what was said - they're about how it landed. Iskra translates on the two layers that decide it.
One of you needs to talk it out now; the other needs space to arrive. Iskra knows both profiles and reshapes your message so it reaches an anxious heart - or an avoidant one - without losing your truth.
For couples with two mother tongues, repair lands deepest in the language you grew up feeling in. Iskra can shape the same message for the head - and let the tender line arrive in your partner's soul language.
Type or dictate the messy version - what happened, what you feel, what you need. Gentle NVC scaffolding helps you find it.
Three phrasings, each shaped to your partner's profile - with a note on why each might land. Your words, their frequency.
Pick the one that feels true and send it. What used to start a fight starts a conversation.
Iskra lives quietly in the background - tools you reach for when you want them. No streaks, no badges, no guilt. Ever.
The translator - for tender things, frustrated things, things you've rewritten five times.
A message stung? Iskra reads it through your partner's profile and shows the need hiding under the words.
Three quiet questions, morning and evening. Answer privately, share what you choose. Skip freely.
Closeness, heat, repair - today's weather between you. Not a score, a glance.
Nine moods from curious to spicy - or let Iskra write one fresh, just for the two of you.
On a call, join a shared session: answer in parallel, reveal together - or counterpoint questions that walk you toward each other.
Date wishlists, surprise mode, tiny moments noticed - the texture of a relationship in small notes.
Name what's actually there - including words one language has and the other doesn't. Тоска. Обида. Longing.
Esther Perel, Brené Brown, Rumi - and Tsvetaeva, Akhmatova, Pushkin in the original, with translation.
Most couples never learn how to stay inside a hard conversation without harm. Iskra gives you the container most of us were never taught.
What lives between two people should stay between them. Iskra is engineered so that even we can't read it.
The interface speaks eleven languages; the translator works with any pair a couple brings. Because "I'm sorry" and «прости меня» don't land in the same place.
Iskra wasn't invented in a boardroom. It's been in daily use by its founding couple - bilingual, two attachment styles, the works - and tested by early couples like them.
Composite voices from our design research and founding-couple use, shared to illustrate the experience - verbatim, attributed quotes will come from our pilot programme below.
Relationship apps love big claims. We'd rather earn ours. Iskra is running a structured 8-week pilot study with 20-30 couples, using validated instruments - the Couple Satisfaction Index, attachment short-form measures, weekly felt-understanding pulses - pre-registered before we peek at the data.
Couples in the pilot get 6 months free, keep access for as long as they keep sharing feedback, and shape what Iskra becomes. Bilingual couples especially welcome.
Felt understanding: the share of couples who feel more understood by their partner after 4 weeks.
Relationship satisfaction: average 8-week change on the Couple Satisfaction Index (CSI).
The bilingual effect: whether repair messages land deeper in a partner's first language.
Would they recommend it: end-of-pilot NPS from every completing couple, reported in full.
No numbers appear on this page until they're real: pre-registered design, stated sample sizes, all outcomes reported - the standard we'd want as users.
No. Iskra is a wellness tool for everyday relating - a structure for saying things well and staying connected. It doesn't diagnose, treat, or replace professional help, and if it detects a real crisis it steps back and signposts human support.
No. Couple data is end-to-end encrypted with keys only your devices hold, and accounts are zero-knowledge - the backup we store is a sealed envelope we cannot open. AI requests are processed transiently and never used to train models.
You can start alone - the translator, decoder and check-ins work solo. Linking your partner unlocks the two-phone experiences: shared sessions, sending shaped messages, relationship weather from both sides.
The store apps are in preparation now. Meanwhile pilot couples use the web app on any phone - add it to your home screen and it behaves like a native app.
Beta access runs through the pilot study. You sign up, complete a short relational questionnaire (it powers the translator and anchors the research), and your couple gets 6 months free. After that, access simply continues for as long as you keep sharing feedback - your experience is the resource you exchange for access. If the feedback stops, access pauses until we hear from you again.
Joining the pilot gives your couple 6 months free - and access keeps going after that for as long as you keep sharing feedback. Couples who help us learn don't pay while they do. When subscriptions arrive, one plan will cover both partners.
Absolutely. The heart of Iskra is translating between two ways of relating - the bilingual layer is a beautiful extra for couples who have it.
One hard thing, said well, changes the evening. Sometimes the year.
