The basics

What is Brumo?

Brumo is a personal AI companion you text on iMessage. There is no app to install — you text a phone number and Brumo remembers what you tell him, sends gentle reminders, and checks in when it matters. Think of him as a contact in your phone, not a feed you scroll.

What does Brumo actually do day-to-day?

Three things, mostly: (1) remembers the stuff you'd otherwise forget — people, promises, moods, deadlines, (2) schedules reminders in plain English, and (3) checks in proactively without flooding your phone. He's useful for accountability, journaling, ADHD, overthinking, and just having one contact to offload to.

Is Brumo an app?

No. Brumo lives on iMessage. You save his number and text him. There's a web dashboard at brumo.app/dashboard for viewing your thread, managing reminders, and billing, but the whole product works from your Messages app.

Does Brumo work on Android?

Yes — over SMS. iMessage users get the smoother experience (read receipts, typing indicators, photos). Android users get the same intelligence and memory over standard SMS.

What's his phone number?

+1 (470) 637-4108. Add him to contacts and send "hi brumo" to get started, or tap the button on the homepage and iMessage opens with him already typed.

Memory

What does Brumo remember?

The stuff that matters. Names of people in your life, your goals, promises you've made to yourself, moods you've shared, deadlines, the little details you've mentioned. He pulls from this context on every reply so a conversation three weeks later picks up where you left off.

Does Brumo remember forever?

As long as your account is active. You can ask him to forget specific things at any time — just say "forget X" and he confirms. If you delete your account (email team@hypedev.co), everything goes within 30 days.

Can I see what Brumo remembers about me?

Yes. The web dashboard has a Brain tab that shows the facts he's stored, grouped by topic. You can delete any item or the whole thing.

Does Brumo read other texts on my phone?

No. He only sees messages you send to his number. He has zero access to your other iMessage threads, your contacts list, or anything else on your phone.

Privacy & safety

Is my conversation private?

Yes. Your thread is scoped to your phone number. It isn't sold, isn't used to train third-party models, and isn't shown to advertisers. Full details on our Privacy page.

Are messages encrypted?

In transit (TLS) and at rest. Access is limited to a small number of Brumo team members who need it to operate the service (debugging abuse reports, etc.) — the same model as any reputable consumer app.

How do I stop Brumo from texting me?

Reply STOP to any Brumo message. He confirms once and goes quiet. You can start again any time by texting him again.

Is Brumo a therapist or doctor?

No — he's an AI, and he isn't a therapist, doctor, lawyer, or financial advisor. Nothing he says is a substitute for a professional. If something feels serious, please talk to someone who can actually help. In a crisis (US), call or text 988.

Pricing

Is Brumo free?

Free to start, yes. There's a daily message allowance and short-term memory included. Pro unlocks unlimited messages, long-term memory, proactive check-ins, and image generation in chat.

How much is Pro?

Pro starts at $9.99/month with annual discounts. Pricing details live on the Pricing page.

How do I cancel?

From the billing page in your dashboard — one click. Your subscription runs through the end of the current period and no charges happen after that. No friction, no confirmation email required.

Do I get a refund if I cancel mid-month?

Not automatically — we don't pro-rate. But if something feels off, email team@hypedev.co and we'll make it right. We'd rather have a happy customer than fight over a week of subscription.

Proactive behavior

Will Brumo text me unprompted?

Yes — but gently, and only on Pro. He might ask how an interview went, remind you about a birthday you mentioned, or check in if you've been quiet longer than usual. He enforces active-hours windows, per-type cooldowns, and backs off when you've been ignoring him.

How do I turn off proactive messages?

From the Settings page in your dashboard. One toggle. He'll still reply when you text him, but won't ping you first.

Does Brumo have quiet hours?

Yes. He defaults to active hours based on your timezone, and you can set custom quiet mode from the dashboard or by texting him "quiet til 7am".

Troubleshooting

I texted Brumo but didn't get a reply.

In 99% of cases, this means iMessage is routing your message to the other line's SMS side — check that the number is saved correctly and that you have cell service. If it persists, email team@hypedev.co.

My messages are showing as green, not blue.

That means you're sending SMS, not iMessage. Brumo works on both — but iMessage gives you read receipts, typing indicators, and photo support. SMS usually kicks in when iMessage can't reach him; try toggling airplane mode on and off.

Brumo got a fact about me wrong.

Text him the correction — "actually, I quit that job last week" — and he'll update his memory. If it's a big misunderstanding, you can also edit his memory directly from the Brain tab in the dashboard.

Comparisons

How is Brumo different from Replika?

Character AI is a playground of user-created characters. Brumo is one personal AI that builds a relationship with you over months. Different category, different use case.

How is Brumo different from Pi AI?

Pi is a thoughtful conversationalist, but it's in its own app and has limited memory. Brumo lives in iMessage and remembers across weeks. Same calm vibe, much more continuity.

How is Brumo different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a tool you open to solve tasks. Brumo is a contact you text for life. If you want to write code, use ChatGPT; if you want an AI that remembers your week and nudges you about it, use Brumo.
