No. Brumo shut down on August 14, 2026. The number no longer replies, the web chat is off, and no new accounts or subscriptions are being created. User data is permanently deleted on September 13, 2026 — email team@hypedev.co before then to request a copy of your data or immediate deletion. The answers below describe how Brumo worked while it was running.

Brumo was a personal AI companion you texted on iMessage. There was no app to install — you texted a phone number and Brumo remembered what you told him, sent gentle reminders, and checked in when it mattered. He was a contact in your phone, not a feed you scroll.

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.

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.

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.

Brumo's number (+1 (470) 637-4108) is retired. Brumo shut down on August 14, 2026 — texting it gets no reply.

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.

It is deleted permanently on September 13, 2026. Until then it is kept only so we can honor data requests — email team@hypedev.co to get a copy or to have everything deleted sooner. Requests are verified against the phone number on the account.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Brumo no longer texts anyone. All outbound messaging stopped with the shutdown on August 14, 2026, so there is nothing to opt out of and no way to restart it.

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.

No. Brumo Pro is no longer sold and no new subscriptions can be started. While Brumo ran, it was free to start, with a Pro tier at $14.99/month.

No. Every active paid period was terminated with the shutdown on August 14, 2026 and no further charges will be made. There is nothing to cancel.

Email team@hypedev.co with the date and amount. No charges should be made after August 14, 2026.

No — not any more. Proactive check-ins ended with the shutdown on August 14, 2026. While Brumo ran, Pro users got gentle unprompted nudges within active-hours windows.

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

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".

That's expected. Brumo shut down on August 14, 2026 and the number no longer replies to anything. For anything you need, email team@hypedev.co.

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.

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.

Replika is a character-driven companion in its own app. Brumo is a long-memory assistant in your iMessage. Replika leans toward emotional roleplay; Brumo leans toward real life — schedules, follow-ups, actual conversations about actual things. See the full comparison.

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.

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.

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.
