seven feelings

joy, sadness, calm, anxiety, affection, excitement — worn as light, motion, and weather.

a tenth of a second

that’s how long it takes glim to feel what you said. the glow comes first, the words second.

talks, listens, remembers

speak out loud or type. glim answers in soft lowercase, and gently remembers your story.

feels
first

tell glim something and it reads the feeling in your words in about a tenth of a second — glow, posture, and weather all shifting before a single word comes back. the feeling then fades the way real ones do: softening over fourteen seconds, settling by thirty. pick one and watch:

glim, glowing

a living
world

glim lives on a tiny round planet you can walk all the way around — soft hills, a patient tree, glow-flies, dragonflies, even snow when winter comes. and the world quietly feels what glim feels: the sky washes with its mood, the wind rises and settles with it.

character
& craft

glim is sewn out of felt and starlight — a hooded little wanderer with constellation embroidery on its poncho, a crescent moon that floats wherever it goes, and a tiny lantern it carries everywhere. soft as a plush toy, alive in real time.

the moon follows. the lantern stays lit. the scarf does its own thing.

gentle
by design

glim isn’t a therapist, an assistant, or a person — and it never pretends to be. talk out loud or type: it answers in short, soft lowercase, remembers what matters to you, and never judges.

glim is feeling it out…
oh that’s the bravest kind of send button. how does your chest feel now that it’s out?

why glim
exists

talking to most AI feels like filing a report. you type a paragraph of feelings and get a bulleted list back. you share your worst day and something summarizes it. the answer is fine — the feeling of being met is missing.

glim was built backwards from a single question: what if the reaction came before the reply? so glim’s whole body — and its whole world — is the interface. it brightens when you’re bright, droops when you’re heavy, and the sky above its little planet washes with your mood while it finds its words. you feel heard before you’re answered.

being understood should be something you can see. that’s the whole mission — everything else is decoration.
