Forest of Stones — Anonymous

When you want to talk without anyone knowing, tell an AI stone. When you want to talk with people, set it down on a cairn. Have you ever seen a small tower of pebbles beside a road or on a mountain trail? Forest of Stones began with those cairns. One person sets down a stone; the next passerby adds another and makes a wish. Here you can set down anything: a wish, or the worry you've never said out loud. Someone else picks it up, adds a pebble, and together the story becomes a cairn. Bring what feels too heavy to tell a friend and too small to take to a counselor. [What you can do] Talk with the stones Sit on a tree stump in the forest and say whatever is on your mind. A stone rolls over, listens, and answers in a few words. The stones' replies are generated by AI. A conversation is deleted the moment it ends; the stones keep only a short note so they can pick up where you left off, and you can see or erase those notes in Settings at any time. You can get up to five replies a day. Stay anonymous Nobody knows who started a cairn or who added a pebble, just as nobody knows who built the ones by the road. Set down a stone Start a story of your own. The first stone is the one the whole cairn grows around. Exchange notes If something is still unsaid, you can send one note at a time to the person who left a pebble. The exchange lasts only as long as you both keep replying, and closes quietly when neither of you does. One forest, many languages Korean, English and Japanese. The forest is not divided. A stone written in another language appears exactly as it was written, and when you want to read one, tap Translate and your device's own translator takes over. [Staying safe] Swipe a stone to the left to report it or block the person who wrote it. A post that collects enough reports is hidden immediately and reviewed. If you feel an action taken against you was wrong, you can appeal in the app. Talking with the stones is not professional counseling. If the stones notice signs that you may be in danger, they will show you a helpline for where you are.
