Made for couples apart

Watch the same sunset, in two languages.

Rakkan carries every message and every spoken word across the distance, warm and exactly as you meant it, so the gap between your languages stops getting in the way.

Free for your first chat. Invite your partner. No card needed.

Two time zones. One sky. Every word arrives carrying what you actually meant, not a dictionary's best guess.

What it does for you two

What makes Rakkan closer than a translation app?

Read-back

Know how it lands before you send

Rakkan shows your message translated straight back into your own words. You send it sure of how it will feel on the other side, never guessing.

Live captions

Hear them, read them, in your language

On a video call, every sentence appears as a translated caption as they speak. The distance stays, the language gap goes quiet.

Your words

Your pet names travel with you

Add the names you call each other once. Rakkan keeps them in a small glossary and uses them everywhere, so nothing flattens into a dictionary word.

Set the scene once, then just talk

How does Rakkan work?

1

Tell it about you two

Pick your relationship and tone, and add the names you call each other. One time, per chat.

2

Talk in your language

You write or speak in yours. They get it in theirs the moment it leaves you.

3

Send, sure of it

Glance at the read-back and you know it lands warm. No second-guessing.

Before you start

What do couples ask first?

Who is Rakkan for?

Two people in love who don't share a fluent language — long-distance and cross-language couples above all. Families, expats and travellers grow to love it too.

How do I install it?

Rakkan runs in your browser, and you add it to your home screen so it opens like a real app. On iPhone: open it in Safari, tap the Share button, then "Add to Home Screen". On Android: open it in Chrome, tap the ⋮ menu, then "Install app". Native App Store and Google Play versions are on the way.

Do I need to download an app?

Not right now. Adding it to your home screen takes ten seconds and gives you notifications, video calls and an app icon — no app store, no waiting. We're building proper App Store and Google Play apps next.

How is it different from Google Translate?

Google Translate forgets who you're talking to. Rakkan keeps your relationship in every message: your tone, your nicknames, your history. The read-back lets you check the result yourself instead of guessing, and on calls it captions both sides live.

Does my partner need an account too?

Yes — Rakkan is a two-sided chat, so you each sign up and connect. You write in your language, they read and reply in theirs. Setup takes a couple of minutes and the first chat is free.

How accurate is the translation?

It uses a top-tier AI model with your relationship context, so it reads far more naturally than a word-for-word tool — but no translation is perfect. That's exactly why every message shows a read-back in your own words, so you can catch anything before it sends.

Is it private? Is it encrypted?

It is not end-to-end encrypted, because an AI has to read your messages to translate them, and we won't pretend otherwise. Your messages travel encrypted, rest encrypted, never train a model, and you can export or delete them anytime.

Can we talk intimately? Is there an 18+ mode?

Yes. Rakkan is an 18+ app made for couples, and there's an optional Unfiltered mode that both partners turn on together for private, intimate conversations. It's off by default and never auto-enables.

Which languages does it speak?

English, Thai, Khmer, Lao, German, Italian and Slovak today, across any pair, with more on the way. The whole interface is localized in all seven.

What does it cost?

Free for one active chat. Paid plans start at €9.99 a month and add chats, call captions and features. Every plan has a "For two" switch so one subscription covers you both for less than two. Yearly billing saves about two months.

What if I go over my chat limit?

Nothing locks. Extra chats beyond your plan simply slow down rather than stopping — you stay in touch, and you upgrade only if you want them back at full speed.

How do I cancel?

Anytime, in a couple of taps. Your plan stays active until the end of the period you've paid for, then drops to free. No emails, no hoops.

Meet at the next sunset
