Frequently Asked Questions
What is GlassBeadGuide?
GlassBeadGuide is an AI-powered philosophical reflection app. You share what you're carrying — a decision, feeling, or question — and 52 philosophers respond with tailored wisdom, a mantra, and optional follow-up dialogue.
What's included in the free plan?
Free users get full access to philosophical reflections, the philosopher library, and their session history. Pro features — focused one-on-one dialogue, Dig Deeper, Dream Journal, monthly narratives, annual portraits, and unlimited letters — require a Pro subscription.
How do I upgrade to Pro?
On the mobile app, tap the upgrade prompt when you reach a Pro feature. Subscriptions are managed through the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android).
How do I cancel my subscription?
Subscriptions are managed by Apple or Google — not by GlassBeadGuide directly. To cancel, go to your device's subscription settings:
- iOS: Settings → your name → Subscriptions → GlassBeadGuide
- Android: Play Store → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → GlassBeadGuide
How do I delete my account?
Open the mobile app → You tab → Account → Delete Account. This permanently removes your account and all associated data. The action cannot be undone.
Is my data private?
Your reflections and dream entries are private to your account. To generate responses, your text is sent to Anthropic's Claude AI. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
What languages are supported?
GlassBeadGuide supports English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese. You can change your language in the Account screen.
