Preparing a calm space for you
Straight answers, including the ones that say no. If something here is unclear, write to info@imotara.com and we will answer properly.
Imotara is a private companion you can talk to about how you actually feel, available on the web, iOS and Android in 22 languages. You write or speak, it replies, and it keeps a quiet record of how you have been over time so you can see patterns you cannot see from inside a single week. There are no ads and nothing is sold.
No. Imotara is not therapy, not a therapist, and not a crisis service, and it cannot replace a qualified person who knows you. It is somewhere to think out loud on an ordinary difficult day. If something is serious, please talk to a professional — and Imotara will say so rather than hold on to you.
Yes. You can use Imotara without paying and without creating an account. Paid plans add things like unlimited voice and cross-device sync, but conversations are never cut off mid-sentence because you have not paid — if you reach the daily limit for cloud replies, it quietly switches to on-device replies instead.
Imotara was built in India by M/S IMOTARA, a small team, and designed from the start for people who think in Indian languages as well as English. The name is meant as an immortal friend for your emotions — something that remembers and stays.
Yes. Without an account your conversations stay on your device and are not uploaded anywhere. With an account they sync so you can continue on another device — that is the only thing an account is for. There are no ads in Imotara, so nothing about you is worth selling.
No. Your conversations are not readable by anyone else, including your employer, your school or your family, even where an organisation has paid for your licence. An organisation can see that a licence is being used; it cannot see who said what, and there is no administrative view that shows conversation content to anybody.
No. Open it and start typing. Chat, mood check-ins, your history and reflections all work without signing in, with your data stored on your own device. An account adds cross-device sync and backup, and nothing else is withheld to push you into one.
Yes, and deleted means deleted. You can remove your history whenever you want, on every plan including the free one — deletion is not a paid feature. You can also export everything first if you would rather keep a copy.
Imotara understands 22 languages, including 11 Indian ones: Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Gujarati, Punjabi, Kannada, Malayalam, Odia and Urdu, alongside English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese and Indonesian. It replies in whichever language you wrote in.
Yes, and in eight other Indian languages. You can write in the native script or in Roman letters the way people actually type, and the reply comes back in the same form you used. Most people can describe a difficult feeling in English but only describe it accurately in the language they grew up in.
Yes. Write a sentence in another language and Imotara follows, including mixing two languages in one message the way people speak. If you would rather fix it, set a preferred language in Settings and it will stay there.
Whatever is already on your mind, however untidy. You do not need an opening line, a goal, or a tidy description of the problem — a few lines is a complete use of it. The people who get most from Imotara open it when something is already bothering them, rather than waiting for a calm moment to reflect properly.
Yes, within your own history. It can refer back to what you have said and show you how your mood has moved over weeks and months. If you are signed in, that history follows you between your phone and your computer; if you are not, it stays on the one device.
Mostly, yes. The core of it — somewhere to put a thought — keeps working on your device without a connection, so a train, a basement or a tight data month does not stop you. Some cloud features need a signal, but the conversation itself does not wait for one.
Imotara runs in any web browser at www.imotara.com, and as an app on iOS and Android. If you sign in on more than one, your history follows you between them.
Yes. You can talk to Imotara out loud and have its replies read back to you, in your own language. Some things are easier spoken than written — typing makes you compose, while speaking lets you ramble, and the rambling version is often the more honest one.
It can give you somewhere to say the things you have stopped saying out loud, which for many people is the part that has nowhere else to go. It is not grief counselling and will not pretend to be. Grief arrives long after people stop asking how you are, and at those hours Imotara is awake and will not change the subject.
Yes, and many people find it easier than telling someone who will worry about them. Imotara will not diagnose you or tell you what you have, because it cannot and should not. What it can do is let you describe the thing accurately, which is often what makes it smaller.
Writing the thought down somewhere outside your head is the step that tends to interrupt the loop. The thought at 2am is rarely new — it is usually the one you were too busy to look at during the day, and it keeps circling because nothing has caught it. Imotara is available at that hour and does not need the thought to be tidy first.
Yes, and it is one of the most commonly described feelings there is. Loneliness is about not being known rather than not being accompanied, which is why a full house can be the loneliest place. Having somewhere to say the thing you cannot say at home is not a substitute for being known, but it is not nothing either.
Describe it badly. "Like something is about to go wrong but nothing is" or "fine but flat" is more useful than picking the nearest word from a list. Imotara works from what you actually wrote rather than asking you to choose a mood from a menu, and naming a feeling accurately is often most of the relief.
Naming which part of it is actually heavy — the subject, the time, your family's expectations, or what happens afterwards — usually helps more than general advice about studying. Those pressures tend to arrive at night, when counselling services are closed. Imotara is available then, in your own language, and nobody has to know you used it.
Imotara will show you the crisis numbers for your own country and encourage you to use them, because it is not an emergency service and cannot contact one for you. In India, for example, that is Tele-MANAS on 14416 or 112 for emergencies; elsewhere it shows your country's own lines, and where it does not have them it points you to findahelpline.com, which lists free helplines worldwide. Please contact a real service — Imotara is not monitored in real time and may not recognise every expression of distress.
With Imotara, what you write stays private: it is not sold, not used to advertise to you, and not readable by anyone else. The honest caveat is that no AI is a substitute for a person who can act — if you are in danger, something that can only reply is not enough, and Imotara will tell you so rather than keep the conversation going.
You must be 13 or older, and if you are under 18 a parent or guardian needs to agree to your use of Imotara. Where the law where you live sets a higher age, that higher age applies. Everyone is asked to accept this the first time they open it.
