Hi.
If you're here, you probably just found out someone you know (partner, husband, boyfriend) is using an app called Goose.
This page is for you. It isn't selling anything. It's here to tell you what Goose actually is and what your options are.
WHAT GOOSE IS
Goose is an app for men who want to be better partners. It isn't a dating app, and it isn't a way to meet people. It's a chat-based assistant that helps men in committed relationships pay attention to the things that are easy to lose track of when life is busy: dates, conversations they've been meaning to have, the small reads on each other that get missed in the noise.
Think: a private notebook with a coach inside, used by someone who's trying.
WHAT GOOSE DOES NOT DO
The word "AI" makes a lot of this feel worse than it is, so:
Goose does NOT:
- Read your text messages on your phone. We have no access to your device.
- Listen to your conversations. Goose has no microphone access on your end.
- Track your location.
- Talk to you, contact you, or know your phone number unless you contact us.
- Help anyone pretend to be someone they're not.
- Help with affairs, manipulation, or deception. We won't, and we say so publicly.
WHAT GOOSE MIGHT KNOW ABOUT YOU
Goose can know things about you, in two limited ways.
- Things he's told us. When someone signs up, we ask about their relationship. Your first name. How long you've been together. Things that matter to you. Things you've said that are important to him. Some of it might be flattering. Some of it might not be. It's whatever he chose to share, written from his side.
- Patterns from conversations you've sent to him. If he chooses (it's optional), he can share specific conversations with Goose, by tapping the share button in Messages, or by uploading a screenshot. What that means in practice: Goose reads what he shares once, takes structured notes about how the two of you communicate, and then deletes the content within 24 hours.
We do not store the actual content of what you said. What we keep is a summary that uses your first name only. No last name. No address. No phone number. No specific quotes longer than a few words.
He chooses what to share. We never have access to your phone, your accounts, your messages in the background, or anything you haven't already sent to him.
This isn't a "we promise we'll be careful" pledge. It's how the system is built. We can't share or leak what we don't have.
IF YOU'RE NOT OKAY WITH THIS
You have options. All of them are free and we honor them quickly.
To find what we have, three things help: his first name, your first name, and a phone or email he might have used to set up his account or to contact you. We use them once, find the data, scrub it, and don't store what you give us. Without them we can't find the right account.
Removes your messages, your name, and any content about you from Goose. Done within 30 days. Permanent.
Within 7 days, we'll send you a plain-English summary of what's been collected. You can then choose what to delete.
Even if he tries to re-add data about you in the future, Goose will refuse.
We do not need a court order, an affidavit, or anything formal. We verify you're you (usually by matching a phone number or email), and we act on it.
IF YOU WANT TO TALK TO A PERSON
her@gooseapp.ai accepts requests like the ones above. You can be as terse or as detailed as you want. Use the form actions above and we'll process the request.
If your situation involves anything more serious (coercion, surveillance, abuse), please tell us. We have a specific process and we respond within hours, not days. If you need to talk to someone outside this, the National Domestic Violence Hotline is at 1-800-799-7233.
A FEW THINGS WE WANT TO SAY DIRECTLY
There's a version of an app like Goose that would be a bad thing. A tool for surveillance. A tool for one-sided control. We are not building that, and we won't. If we ever drift toward that, we want you to call us on it. her@gooseapp.ai.
There's also a version of an app like Goose that is, genuinely, a good thing for the person on the other end of the relationship. The men who use it are mostly trying. Clumsily, sometimes. But actually trying. We're betting that's most of them.
You are the better judge of which version your partner is.
