Elytiq

Building tools for
better conversations.

We design and build software that helps people understand each other — tools that bring clarity, care, and honesty to the moments that matter most.

About

A small studio.
A clear purpose.

Elytiq was founded on a belief that the quality of our relationships depends on the quality of our conversations — and that thoughtfully designed software can help. We build tools grounded in human-centered design, emotional intelligence, and genuine craft.

Our founding team brings together product vision and a technical co-founder with over ten years of software development experience. Talking Stick is built with two licensed therapist advisors embedded from day one, and grounded in evidence-based communication frameworks — including structured turn-taking, de-escalation principles, and trauma-aware interaction design. We build carefully, and we build to last.

Our work

First product, now in development.

In development

Talking Stick

Our first product is for the conversation you keep almost having. It gives structure to the moments when communication is hardest — helping both people speak honestly, listen deeply, and find their way back to each other.

A moment it's built for

"It's late. The same thing came up again — the thing that always comes up. One of you tried to say something real. The other got defensive. Or you both did. The words that needed to land, didn't. You go to sleep with it unfinished. Again."

01
One person opens the app
Talking Stick creates a shared space for the conversation — structured, calm, without interruption.
02
Each person speaks in turn
The app guides the exchange: one voice at a time, with prompts designed to move past surface conflict.
03
Something shifts
Not a resolution every time — but a different quality of understanding. The conversation that needed to happen, happens.
