CalmTalk, for conversations you can’t avoid
An Android app in testing that says it softens hostile incoming messages while preserving originals and organizing conversation records.
- For
- People managing difficult ongoing conversations
- Worth noticing
- The site says possible threats are never softened; users instead receive a safety warning.
Field notes
The site describes a private number that the other party can text without installing anything. Its stated message filter targets insults and name-calling, while originals remain available; possible threats are excluded from softening and instead trigger a warning. Other described features include a shared calendar with change history and PDF exports containing original messages and timestamps. The Android app is in closed testing, and the site says an opt-in invite may be required.
