Hold the Chat Line was created with one clear purpose:
to give people a safe, anonymous space to process and cope.

Why

Mental health struggles can feel isolating, especially in moments when support is hard to reach. Hold the Chat Line began as a personal project, built in just a few days during a time of difficulty, and grew into a tool designed to help others.

What We Believe

• Everyone deserves access to simple, supportive tools.

• Coping skills are most powerful when practiced daily.

• Technology can guide, but people need real human connection too.

• Clear limits matter: this app is not therapy or medical care.

The Mission

To provide a guided, encouraging AI-powered chat space that redirects users to skills, resources, and hope.

Hold the Chat Line will always be free. No login, no user tracking, no paywalls. If you’d like to help keep this lifeline free for all, you can support the project here. Every dollar goes to keeping the app online and building new tools.

The Heart of It

Hold the Chat Line is a response to the technological advancements of society and the need for safe, anonymous, and accessible support.

“We don't get to die young
Trouble keeping our head sometimes
We just have to push on
We don't get to give up this life
All the breath in your lungs
Is stronger than the tears in your eyes
It's do or die, but we're alive
And while we're here, hold the line”

- Avicii (feat. A R I Z O N A)
