Frequently asked questions

What is Noema?
A quiet place to sit with one short question each day. You write a few lines, and a short reflection comes back.
How does a typical day work?
You open the app and see a short question. You write whatever comes to mind — a few lines is enough. If you'd like, you can ask for a reflection: the app reads what you wrote and offers a brief mirror of it back. You can also open a short dialogue to sit with the question a little longer. That's the whole day.
What is a reflection?
A short, quiet response to what you wrote. It restates what you said in slightly different words so you can read your own thinking back. It does not advise, label, or evaluate.
What is a dialogue?
An exchange you can open on an entry, a thread, an intention, or a question from Looking Back. Noema asks one question at a time and points back at your own words; it never tells you what you are or what to do. The dialogue ends when you are done — there is no clock — and it may leave you one question to sit with. When it closes, you can keep one line of your own about what you saw.
Is Noema a substitute for professional help?
No. Noema is for inquiry, not for medical care or coaching.
Is my writing private?
Yes. Your entries are stored for you. They are not used to train models. You can export or delete your data at any time.
Can I use Noema for free?
Yes. The daily inquiry and journaling are always free. A small number of reflections each month are included on the free plan.
How does the subscription work?
One paid tier, one trial, two pricing periods. You can cancel any time in two taps.
How do I delete my account?
From Settings. There's a 14-day pause before anything is removed; you can cancel at any time during the pause.
