Get Closure — Find closure. On your own terms.
Sometimes a relationship ends without that final conversation. Get Closure gives you a safe space to find it on your own terms. At your own pace. Without reaching out. Find safety within yourself.
Features
- Safe space: You don't have to explain. You'll be heard here.
- No contact support: Support for when not responding feels impossible.
- Safe conversation: Say what you never got to say. Safely.
- Privacy first: Your data is encrypted and under your control.
Two conversation partners. One safe space.
Ex
Say what you never got to say. Ask what you never got answered. Here, they respond honestly. No promises that won't be kept. No words without action behind them. Just the truth you never actually got.
Friend
The friend you can call at 3 AM. Who doesn't get tired, doesn't judge, and remembers what you said last time. Because even the best friends get exhausted. And you shouldn't have to worry about being too much.
What users say
"Really helped with maintaining no contact and getting mental clarity. And the best part is, the friend avatar remembers everything!" — Get Closure user
"Even though my experiences weren't that severe, talking to the ex-avatar helped me understand why the breakup was actually a better solution for me." — Get Closure user
What does no contact mean?
No contact means a conscious decision not to be in touch with your ex in any way. It's a boundary that protects you and also one that is sometimes very difficult to maintain.
For you, if any of this sounds familiar.
- The relationship ended but your mind won't let go.
- You're looking for an answer you never got.
- No contact feels impossible every single day.
- You wonder if it was your fault.
- You want to talk but don't want to burden anyone.
- You know reaching out would be a mistake, but you still want to.
You don't need to explain why you're here. Being here is enough.
Built by a peer.
This app was built by someone who's been through it. It wasn't made by looking in from the outside, but from the inside, with understanding.
Get Closure is not therapy.
It doesn't replace professional help. It doesn't diagnose you or anyone else. It doesn't tell you what you should do. It's a safe space where you can process what's been left unprocessed. Create corrective experiences for yourself. At your own pace. In your own words. As many times as you need.
If you're in immediate danger, call emergency services. If you need someone to talk to, contact your local crisis helpline.
Your words are yours.
- Your conversations are encrypted. No one else can access them. Not us, not anyone.
- You can download all your data at any time.
- You can delete your account and everything in it with one click.
- Your data is not used for advertising, analytics, or AI training.
Research foundation
Every design decision is grounded in research literature. The app combines six key frameworks:
- Trauma bond theory (Dutton & Painter, 1981, 1993) — power imbalance and intermittent reinforcement create strong attachment to an abusive partner via dopamine, cortisol and oxytocin cycles.
- Attachment theory (Bowlby; Ainsworth; Main) — anxious–avoidant dynamics produce the strongest trauma bond.
- Empty chair technique (Paivio & Greenberg, 1995) — simulated dialogue with a significant person produces clinically significant improvements in processing unresolved emotions.
- Effectiveness of conversational interventions (Li et al., 2023; Heinz et al., 2025, NEJM AI) — meta-analyses show significant reductions in depression and anxiety.
- Scaffolding and self-efficacy (Bandura, 1997; Vygotsky; Benight et al., 2022) — coping self-efficacy predicts PTSD symptom reduction.
- Trauma-informed design (SAMHSA) — safety, trustworthiness, peer support, collaboration, empowerment and cultural sensitivity.
The app is not therapy, and the research foundation does not constitute clinical validation.
Partnerships
We welcome collaboration with public sector and NGO partners. Get Closure is built to support individuals — but we believe change also happens through organizations.
Our work aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals:
- SDG 5: Gender Equality — We support the right of women and marginalized groups to safely disengage from harmful relationships.
- SDG 16: Peace and Justice — We promote non-violence and safe digital spaces where everyone has the right to be heard.
Frequently asked questions
What is Get Closure?
Get Closure is a safe digital space that helps you maintain no contact and find closure on your own terms. It was built by a peer — someone who has walked the same path.
How does it work?
You have two conversation partners. A healthy version of your ex validates your experience, takes responsibility and gently guides you toward letting go. A friend listens, gently challenges and is always available.
What research is the app based on?
The app draws on trauma bond theory (Dutton & Painter), the empty chair technique (Paivio & Greenberg), scaffolding and self-efficacy theory (Bandura, Vygotsky), and trauma-informed design principles (SAMHSA).
Is this therapy?
No. Get Closure is a support tool that complements professional help — especially when it's not available, like evenings, nights and weekends.
What does it cost?
We use a solidarity-based pay-what-you-can model (€0–19.99/month). Those who pay more enable access for those who can't afford to.
How is my data protected?
Each user's data is isolated at database level (RLS). All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Conversations are not stored on the language model side. We comply with GDPR.
