Frequently asked questions

What is Swoony?

Swoony is a web app for chatting with AI romantic-partner characters, built for the US BookTok and dark-romance audience. It is closed-door (suggestive, never explicit) and messaging-app style.

Is Swoony free?

Yes. The relationship and all five progression stages are always free. You also get a generous daily message allowance and the first 30 His/Their POV reveals per character for free. Hearts (one-time points) buy extra messages and POV reveals — there is no subscription.

Is it explicit?

No. Swoony stays in a closed-door band: romantic tension, flirtation, and fade-to-black — never explicit content. It is intended for adults 18 and over.

What is His/Their POV?

It is the character's raw first-person inner thoughts on emotionally charged moments — the truth they would never say out loud. The first 30 reveals per character are free; after that each costs Hearts. It changes what you can see, never how the character behaves.

How does the relationship progress?

Affection deepens through five stages — First Encounter, Tension, The Pull, Falling, and Yours. It advances based on the emotional content of your conversation, not the number of messages, and is never paywalled.

Can I create my own character?

Yes. Anyone can create a character with a simple one-form tool: an image, a persona, trope tags, and an opening scene. You can keep it private or make it public.

Are the characters real people?

No. Every character on Swoony is a fictional AI, clearly disclosed as such. Conversations are generated.
