Say it or type it
“Hey Arna, how’s your day going?”
Tap the mic and talk, or type in the box. She answers out loud in her own voice, and her face reacts as she speaks. Tap her mid-sentence and she’ll stop — she won’t talk over you.
Guide
How Arna works
A tour of what she can do and what to say. The hardest part of a companion app is knowing what you’re allowed to ask for — so every item below leads with the sentence you say out loud.
Talking with her
She remembers you
Tell her your name once and she uses it. Mention the people who matter, what you like, what you’re building, and she keeps it. Ask “what do you remember about me?” any time, or open Her memory of you to read every memory as a star — and tell her to forget any of them.
Ask her for a gesture
“Wave at me”
She has a body. Ask for a wave, a nod, a thumbs up, a bow, a shrug, a blown kiss — she’ll do it. There are also treats and a drink in the corner of her stage: hand her one and see what happens. Poke her if you’re feeling brave.
Things she can do for you
Look things up
“What’s the latest on the Lions?”
Scores, news, prices, store hours, “is this place still open” — she checks and comes back with the answer out loud. She’ll say she’s looking, then tell you what she found.
Your weather
“Do I need a jacket today?”
She knows your local conditions, today and tomorrow, without you setting anything up.
Your calendar
“Put dinner with Kate on Friday at 7”
Connect Google Calendar in Settings and she can tell you what’s coming, add things you ask for, and move them. She gives you a heads-up 15 minutes before anything starts — out loud if you’re with her, as a notification if the app is closed.
Your music
“Play something mellow”
Link Spotify and ask for a song, album, artist, or one of your own playlists. No Spotify? Free curated stations play out of the box.
Your lights
“Dim the lights for a movie”
Link Philips Hue and she’ll set the room — dim, warm, bright, or everything off on your way out.
Show her a photo
“What do you think of this?”
Tap the paperclip, pick a picture, and ask. She actually looks at it and tells you what she sees.
Ask her to draw
“Draw me a lighthouse at dusk”
Add your own image-provider key under Imagination, and she’ll sketch what you ask for — the picture lands right in the conversation.
Living with her
Keep her on screen
Tap the pop-out button on her stage and she shrinks into a small floating window that stays on top while you use other apps. Drag it anywhere; pinch it smaller if you like.
Back her up
Everything she knows lives on this phone — not on a server. Settings → Her memory saves all of it to a file you keep, and restores it on a new phone or a fresh install. Do this before switching devices; there’s no cloud copy to fall back on.
Tidy her memory
Also under Her memory: “Clean out the noise” re-reads everything she’s stored and clears the passing chatter while keeping what actually matters. It shows you what it will remove before it touches anything.
Her voice
Her signature voice is free for your first week, with a daily allowance after that. Her standard voice is unlimited and free, forever — she never goes quiet on you.
Run her on your own AI
Settings → Her brain. Add your own OpenAI, Claude, or compatible key and her replies run on your model instead — straight from this phone to your provider.
Worth knowing
She can be wrong
Arna is an AI companion. Her replies are generated, and generated answers can be confidently wrong — double-check anything that matters, and don’t rely on her for medical, legal, or financial decisions.
Where your words go
Her memories, your linked accounts, and your conversation history stay on this phone. What you say is sent to an AI service to generate her reply — never sold, never used for ads. The full policy is at meetarna.com/privacy.
She’s still growing
Her personality shifts with how you two talk — tease her and she gets more playful. Some things (pairing her with a desktop app) are still on the way.
