‘Truth’ Texting App Lets Users Anonymously Criticize or Flirt With Phone Contacts

Mashable › Rebecca Hiscott

Secret and Whisper, the current darlings of the anonymous messaging market, are all about broadcasting your innermost thoughts — or Gwyneth Paltrow gossip — in a feed format.

But the founders of Truth created an anonymous messaging app that sends private missives to people on your contacts list. It’s incognito one-on-one messaging between friends.

When you send a “truth,” you are assigned an anonymous username and avatar (one of an assortment of playful owls). If the recipient already has the app, the message will show up in the app’s inbox. If they don’t, a text message will display part of the “truth” and prompt the recipient to download the app.

“Whisper and Secret are about broadcasting,” Truth cofounder Ali Saheli tells Mashable. “You shout out anonymously, kind of like on Twitter. The concept of [messaging] phone contacts was more interesting to us.”

    Would you like this New Year to be the year you let go of your hurtful past? Make the resolution to make the change to become your Best Self.

    Have you heard of Se-REM? (Self effective – Rapid Eye Movement). Many people don’t know that REM brain activity dramatically improves the processing of traumatic emotion. It creates peace and empowers the listener. Se-REM is an advanced version of EMDR therapy. It is more powerful because it combines elements of 6 different therapies, EMDR, hypnosis, mindfulness, Gestalt child within work, music therapy, and Awe therapy, (connecting profoundly with nature). Classical music alternates between the ears to enhance daydreaming and visualizing in ways you have never experienced.

    It has helped thousands of people overcome PTSD, and anxiety. But it is also helpful in a great many situations, any experience that has been traumatic. Se-REM’s mission statement is “Trauma relief at as close to free as possible”. This not-for-profit program downloads to a smart phone or computer and can be used at home.

    Read and download at: Se-REM.com. Once you own the program, you are encouraged to give it away to others who will benefit.

    Se-REM.com is in use in 33 countries.
