we pick who,
you don't have to decide.
decision fatigue stops us from reaching out. our daily queue gently shuffles your contacts, surfacing people you haven't spoken to in a while. just open the app, and someone is waiting to hear from you.
never stare at a blank message again.
not sure what to say? we provide warm, contextual prompts to break the ice instantly. click a prompt to copy it, or edit to make it your own.
"hey! a memory of us just popped into my head and made me smile. hope you're doing well."
"i'm grabbing a coffee right now and thought of you. let's catch up soon?"
"just wanted to send some good energy your way today. no need to reply!"
your words get better every day.
introducing the reflection window. after you unlock your social apps, you have 60 seconds to draft your next message while still in a 'human' headspace, before the feed takes over.
simulating the post-unlock mindfulness pause
no surveillance. no judgement.
FirstText is designed to support you, not monitor you. we care about your habits, not your metadata.
private by design
we never read or upload your message contents. your conversations stay strictly local and private.
no surveillance
we don't track your screen time details, your exact locations, or sell search history profiles to advertisers.
no shaming
no streaks to lose, no guilt alerts, and no metrics dashboard. we celebrate connection, not numbers.
loved by connectors.
here's what early waitlisted members are saying about the connection first mindset.
"FirstText completely changed my habit loop. instead of scrolling when i unlock my phone, i'm prompted to text my sister. it feels so much better."
marcus k.
waitlist member #142
"i was skeptical but the daily queue makes reaching out so effortless. no thinking who to message. just a quick contextual greeting and i'm done."
elena r.
waitlist member #847
"as a parent, i wanted to build a better phone relationship in front of my kids. this app doesn't police or shame you, it just roots for you."

privacy policy
last updated: June 20, 2026
welcome to FirstText. we are committed to providing a mindful screen time solution that respects your right to privacy. this privacy policy explains what data we collect, how it is stored, and your rights regarding your personal information.
1. information we collect
for the waitlist and prelaunch site: we collect your email address when you sign up, your waitlist position, and referral activity. if you authenticate via Google Sign-In, we collect your display name and email address as provided by Google OAuth.
we do not collect, read, transmit, or store the contents of any messages you draft or send to your contacts. all conversation mechanics are strictly local to your browser and simulated on this website.
2. how we use your information
we use your email to authenticate your waitlist dashboard session, notify you of your waitlist status, issue rewards tier coupons/access, and communicate update logs about the FirstText mobile app.
3. data security
we store waitlist records securely using Cloud Firestore. we do not share, sell, distribute, or license your data to any third-party advertisers or analytical profiling agencies.
4. cookies
we use localized storage (localStorage) and subtle session cookies to track referral links (?ref=CODE) to credit referrers accurately in the background. these attributes automatically expire after 30 days.
terms of service
last updated: June 20, 2026
these terms of service govern your access and use of the FirstText prelaunch website and waitlist participation loop. by signing up, you agree to comply with these terms.
1. waitlist participation
waitlist signup allocates a temporary numerical sequence spot indicating queue entry. waitlist spots do not guarantee immediate mobile app access at initial build rollout, but rather prioritize notification batches.
2. referral rewards
milestone rewards (e.g. spots skip, months free, lifetime access, founding connector naming) are subject to verification. we reserve the rights to cancel, modify, audit, or adjust rewards eligibility criteria if duplicate, scripted, or invalid email spamming is detected.
3. service modifications
FirstText reserves the rights to modify, suspend, or upgrade the waitlist dashboard structure, rewards tiers, and prelaunch content layout at any time before official App Store release.
