Lantern

A bilingual app for parents

Lantern is for parents whose adolescents are in the early stages of substance experimentation. The audience is not the teenager. It is the parent, between sessions with a counselor or before them, looking for context and a steadier set of words.

Its own name, sold on its own

Lantern keeps its own brand identity. Practitioners and their clients meet it under the Lantern name, not the studio’s. It is sold standalone rather than as part of the un-X subscription family, and Studio Sof is the maker behind it.

Bilingual by default

The application is bilingual from the start. French and English are not handled as a translation layer added later; both run as primary languages, with the voice read native in each.

Built to the studio standard

Lantern carries the studio’s full architecture standard: encryption on the client’s side, an editorial content pipeline with a human approval step, region-aware help resources, and no third-party trackers anywhere. The Lantern brand stays on Lantern surfaces.

Status

Paused. Mostly built. The replanning was underway when the project was set aside on 2026.05.07. The build resumes once the studio’s near-term obligations clear.
