This is Althea ✦ Room

We built an app so no one has to cry alone or lose hope.

50%

of Gen Z

navigate anxiety or depressionwhile spending nine hours a day on screens. Most apps aren't helping — they're designed to keep us hooked.

We are Khoa and Hades. We've watched digital culture and isolation ruin too many lives we care about. We decided to pour our time into building something that helps people take care of themselves before things reach a breaking point. Your mental space should be sacred, not a product.
