Your mind deserves
daily care,
not just crisis support.
Sikivu is Kiswahili for listening — and that’s exactly what your companion does. An AI mental wellness companion built for East Africa, designed to hear what you’re carrying and help you understand it.
Simple. Private. Genuinely helpful.
No long onboarding. No clinical jargon. Just a thoughtful companion that meets you where you are.
Check in daily
A 60-second mood check-in — how you feel, what's on your mind. No pressure, no wrong answers. Works offline.
Talk with your AI companion
Sikivu listens, reflects, and gently guides — using evidence-based approaches like CBT and mindfulness. It remembers your history, so you never have to repeat yourself.
Understand your patterns
Over time, Sikivu surfaces what triggers your lows, what lifts you up, and when to suggest professional support.
Built for real life,
not just crises.
Four core capabilities that work together — from your morning check-in to your hardest moments.
AI journaling companion
A companion that reads the emotion behind your words, not just the words. Powered by a two-stage AI pipeline — fast emotion detection locally, deep conversational understanding when it matters. Responds with warmth, not scripts.
Mood tracking & analytics
Track your emotional weather daily. See weekly patterns, spot correlations with sleep, work, or social activity, and build genuine self-awareness over time.
Crisis detection & escalation
Subtle distress signals are detected automatically. When risk is elevated, Sikivu responds with immediate warmth and surfaces the right human support — always free, always instant.
Privacy-first by design
Emotion detection runs entirely on your device. Your journal never leaves your phone until you choose to sync. Anonymous mode available. End-to-end encrypted.
We're in alpha.
