What you get when you install AFK
-
Live peer support
Real replies from other AFK users, usually within minutes during typical hours.

-
Free with no premium tier

Both sides in one app
Ask when you need it. Give when you can. Your reply history stays in the app for you to revisit.
-
Appreciated feedback loop
When a reply you wrote is marked Appreciated, you get a push and see the green label on your message.

Sign in with Apple or Google
No new password. First-time users may pass through a short shared onboarding flow.

Which app fits this moment?
Two apps, one ecosystem
AFK and Anima Felix are built for different moments. Pick the one that fits today, or use both - most people do.
AFK
For a live hand right now.
Anonymous peer support. Tap a category, share what is on your mind, and other AFK users reply within minutes. The quiet pride of hearing that your support helped someone else.
Anima Felix
For deeper self-guided support.
AI chat support, voice onboarding, guided breathing and grounding, anxiety-specific paths, stories and sleep content. The longer-term anxiety companion you can carry with you.
Both together
The full picture.
Reach for AFK in anxious moments when you want a person to write back. Use Anima Felix for everything between them: chat, voice, exercises, and self-guided structure.
A note on language
The AFK app interface is currently English-only. The AFK web pages on animafelix.com (including the trust and safety page) are available in English, Romanian, and Ukrainian. We are working on localized app UI.
Privacy in one paragraph
AFK stores your sign-in identity, the requests you submit, the replies you send and receive, and your Appreciated, Not helpful, and Reported marks. That data is used to operate the service, investigate safety reports, and comply with GDPR rights. The full picture lives in the privacy policy, including retention periods and how to exercise your rights.
