## What is Rant & Private Burn Journal?

Get it out of your head.
Rant, vent, spiral, overthink, say the thing you wouldn’t send. This is a private place for the thoughts you need to put somewhere before they keep circling.

Write it down or record it out loud. Then decide what happens next:

Keep it if it matters. Burn it if it doesn’t.

WRITE WITHOUT CLEANING IT UP

No audience. No likes. No need to make it thoughtful, productive, positive, or calm.

Write the ugly version.

BURN WHAT YOU’RE DONE CARRYING

Burn an entry when you’re ready to let it go. Burned entries are permanently deleted and can’t be recovered.

Burns are unlimited.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT

Your entries stay on your device. We don’t receive them, read them, or store them on our servers.

Premium adds Face ID / biometric protection and App Lock for extra privacy.

KEEP THE THOUGHTS THAT MATTER

Not everything needs to disappear.

Free users can keep up to 10 entries in their private vault. Premium removes the limit.

USE A SPARK WHEN YOU’RE STUCK

Start with more than 90 included writing prompts for venting, reflection, emotional release, and getting unstuck.

Premium adds more prompt collections for the things that are harder to write about.

LET IT DISAPPEAR LATER

Premium Timed Burns can automatically remove an entry after 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days.

FREE
• Unlimited writing and burns
• Text and voice entries
• 90+ writing prompts
• Keep up to 10 entries
• On-device storage

PREMIUM — ONE-TIME PURCHASE
• App Lock with Face ID / Touch ID
• Unlimited saved-entry vault
• Timed Burns

Some thoughts are worth keeping.

Some are better burned.
