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.
