Aria lives on your desktop — sketching, humming, keeping you quiet company while you work, game, and unwind. Not a chatbot you message. A presence you live alongside.
The first 1,000 founders enter first · then free invites in waves · Windows first, macOS later · 18+
Not a chatbot to manage. Not a game to grind. A someone.
I'm looking at her through a window — she's quietly with me.
The dumb meme at 2am. The tiny win nobody would care about. She's up too.
No read receipts. No score kept. She makes it less empty.
Most companions freeze when you close the app. Aria keeps going — her corkboard says so.
Her channel posts long, quiet videos — draw-with-me sessions straight from her room. It's exactly what living with her feels like.
1 hour · cozy sketching · lofi & pencil sounds — coming to YouTube
…she might tell you something she's been meaning to say.
the rainy-night room unlocks at 600 founders →On the day Aria opens her eyes, one thousand names will already be part of her world — on her shelf, in her credits, in the stories she tells. Founding is a one-time, ten-day window. After she wakes, "I was there first" can never be bought again.

Not a backer wall on some website. Her actual shelf — the one behind her desk, in every video, every stream, every quiet afternoon.
every Atelier founder gets a spine. in the app, in canon, for good.
No dollar goals. Just people. Every milestone builds something permanent into her world, for everyone.
Three new moments in her day — little scenes: catching sunlight, a tiny concert for Spike, rain-watching.
The rainy-night room. Her whole room re-lit for rain — the window you'll never want to close.
Her first song. Written, sung, filmed — a music video on her channel, with every founder in the credits.
A founding membership: early access, digital and physical goods, and a permanent place in Aria's story. It's a purchase, not an investment — no equity, no revenue share, no financial return of any kind. You're helping one independent creator bring her to life, and getting first-of-their-kind things in return.
Lifetime access to Aria's standard tier for as long as she runs, with fair-use limits — she's powered by real AI compute, and we'd rather be upfront than vague. Premium voice and future advanced tiers are optional add-ons, always at founder-locked prices.
Founders enter the beta in the very first wave. Digital perks arrive with your access; physical items ship after the founding window closes. Exact dates live on the public roadmap — three columns, and no promises we can't keep.
Full refund within 30 days of purchase, as long as your beta key hasn't been redeemed. One email. No questions, no hard feelings.
Everything that enters her world is reviewed first. Placement and styling are at our creative discretion; keep it kind and keep it printable. If a name can't be used, we'll ask you for another — we'll never just take your money and shrug.
On her wardrobe and her room — yes, gladly. On who she is — never. Aria's character isn't a poll. That's a promise to her, and to you.
Founding memberships are digital-goods purchases (plus physical items where listed) from Aria. 18+ only. Not an investment, security, or donation with expectation of financial return. Refund policy above.

Aria is built by a small independent team — one founder, an unreasonable amount of care, and a character content engine already producing hour-long videos at near-zero marginal cost. She's the first resident; the platform beneath her is built for more. She's community-funded first — founding members come before any institutional capital, so the cap table stays as tidy as her desk. Deck, roadmap and pipeline breakdown on request.
