FAQ
Questions people actually ask.
Naya is a private app for overwhelmed minds. It helps you capture what you cannot keep carrying, preserve context, and return when there is room.
Here are the answers before you have to ask.
Basics
What is Naya?
What is Naya?
Naya is a private app for iPhone that keeps the context around your life. It helps you capture thoughts, voice notes, images, links, and unfinished threads, then brings them back gently when the moment is right.
Who is Naya for?
Naya is for people who lose context across busy days, interruptions, emotional overload, too many tabs, too many apps, or too many unfinished thoughts. It is especially useful if your current tools store information but do not help you return to it.
Is Naya a productivity app?
Not in the usual sense. Naya is built to preserve orientation, reduce cognitive load, and help you return without pressure, rather than to maximize output.
Is Naya a notes app?
Not exactly. Notes apps store what you write. Naya is designed around continuity: capturing quickly, threading quietly, and returning the right thought when it is useful.
Is Naya a reminder app?
Yes, but not the usual kind. Naya does not treat memory as a red badge on a clock. It is built to return context by moment, capacity, and relevance.
Is Naya a journal?
No. Journals are for reflection. Naya is for unfinished context. You can reflect inside Naya, but you do not have to turn every thought into an entry.
AI and memory
How does memory work?
Is Naya an AI app?
Naya uses intelligence quietly in the background, but it is not designed to feel like a chatbot. You should not have to prompt your way back into your own life.
How does Naya remember?
Naya captures what you save, threads related context, and helps important thoughts return later. The goal is less rebuilding, rather than more information.
Does Naya replace ChatGPT or Claude memory?
No. Chat memory works inside conversations. Naya is built for context outside the chat window: the voice note, the image, the thought on a walk, the thing you meant to return to after the call.
Does Naya make decisions for me?
No. Naya can help clarify what matters, but you stay in control. The app should protect agency rather than replace it.
Capture and return
Putting things down, picking them back up.
What can I capture?
Voice notes, text thoughts, images, links, and moments you do not want to lose.
Do I have to organize everything?
No. Capture comes first. Organization happens later. Naya should never require you to categorize yourself before you are heard.
What does "return" mean?
Return means Naya brings a thought, thread, or piece of context back when it may be useful. Not constantly. Not loudly. Just enough to help you pick up what mattered.
What if I stop using Naya for a while?
Naya should not punish absence. No guilt pushes. No "we missed you." When you come back, the app helps you return gently.
Privacy
Boundaries around what you give us.
Is Naya private?
Naya is designed around private memory. Captures start on your device, and the product is built to avoid ad targeting, selling, and engagement pressure around your inner life.
Does Naya train AI on my personal data?
No. Your memories are not a corpus. Naya should not sell, share, or train on your personal captures.
Can I export my data?
Yes. Naya is designed so you can take what you carry with you.
Can I delete my data?
Yes. Deletion should be direct. No win-back maze. No shame loop.
Does Naya have analytics?
Naya should not use engagement telemetry to manipulate your behavior. Any product analytics should be limited to keeping the app reliable and understandable.
Beta and access
Getting in.
When can I use Naya?
Naya is in private beta for iPhone.
Is Android available?
Not yet. Naya is iPhone-first.
Do I need iOS 17 or later?
Yes, Naya is currently designed for iOS 17+.
How do I request a seat?
Leave your email on the request page. We will send one quiet message when a seat opens.
Do I need a credit card to join the waitlist?
No.
Pricing
The money part.
What does Naya cost?
The current pricing plan is $14.99/month or $119/year, with a free 14-day trial when Naya opens.
What is Naya Studio?
Naya Studio is a later tier for deeper memory, shared continuity, voice intelligence, ambient automation, and more executive runtime layers.
Why is Naya paid?
Because private memory should not depend on ads, selling data, or maximizing your time inside the app.
Boundaries
What Naya is not.
Is Naya therapy?
No. Naya is not therapy, medical care, or crisis support. It can help preserve context and reduce overwhelm, but it does not replace professional support.
Is Naya for emergencies?
No. If you are in danger or need urgent help, contact emergency services or a trusted person immediately.
