We all have secrets. Secret in mind is a burden. Sometimes we need a place to tell what's on mind frankly. This is a blank place where you can express yourself and talk to yourself secretly. You can write anything as if you talk to yourself, and let them go. Jot down ideas, take a memo, and take notes without decorated happiness or showing off. It will unburden yourself and you can feel better. All thoughts, feelings and plans written down are archived as your own story. Only you can read them anytime later on. * talktomyself is a registered trademark of Horizon since 2019.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Talk to Myself at 100% against Self's 57%. Talk to Myself also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). Self's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 3.5) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Self sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Talk to Myself asks for nothing beyond the download.
Self holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Self has 265 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Talk to Myself's written reviews are positive against 57% of Self's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Talk to Myself ships an update every 6 weeks, Self weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
