Private

Tuesday · evening

Coffee before the meeting. I told her I'm proud of her, and meant it more than I expected to.

Then I sat in the parking lot for a while and listened to the same song twice.

The Privacy Helper

It reads your draft before anyone else can.

Entity detection finds the names, employers, places, and dates that could give you away. One tap swaps each for a stable alias — and that alias sticks across every entry, so your story stays consistent.

An Anonymity Score from 1 to 10 tells you when a draft is safe to publish. Below 6, we hold the publish button.

  • Detects names, employers, locations, dates
  • Reuses your aliases across every entry

Coffee with Sarah[Person A] near the office on Tuesday.

She told me she's leaving Apex Health[Org A] next month.

We sat at the corner table at Verve[Place A] for almost two hours.

Masked — safe to publish

8/ 10

Per-entry privacy

Four levels. You choose for every entry.

Default

Private

Only you. Always the default.

Drafts and personal entries live here. No one else can read them — encrypted at rest, behind row-level access control. Every new entry starts private, so nothing leaves your hands by accident.

Read by: only you.

Anonymous Public

Anyone reads. No one knows it's you.

Publish without your pen name. The Privacy Helper checks for identifiers first, and the Anonymity Score gates publishing at 6 or higher.

Read by: anyone, identity hidden.

Public

Anyone reads. Your pen name is shown.

Build a free following under a handle you choose. Show only what you want — your real name is never required.

Read by: anyone, under your pen name.

Coming Q3 2026

Subscribers Only

Paid readers only.

Build a small, paying audience around the writing that matters most. Pen-name lock-in starts now; payouts ship with launch.

Read by: paying subscribers.

Coming with Pro · $7.99/mo

Write anonymously. Stay anonymous.

Free gives you one entry a day. Pro keeps your diary unidentifiable, yours forever — and, when subscriptions launch, a way to earn from it.

Anonymity Guard

A stylometry score that asks the question no one else does — could someone identify you from your writing style alone? Checked across your whole journal before you ever publish.

Anonymity 8 / 10

Encrypted Private Vault

Your entries, encrypted with a key only you hold. Not even we can read them.

Unlimited entries

Write without a wall. Your sanctuary never runs out of room.

Import from Day One & Penzu

One click brings your years of writing across. Nothing left behind.

Earn from subscribers when creator subscriptions launch.

How it works

Three calm steps.

From first word to shared page — privacy is the default at every step, never an afterthought.

  1. 1

    Write privately

    Start under a pen name or your own. Every entry is private by default — encrypted at rest, yours alone.

  2. 2

    Mask with the Privacy Helper

    Before anything leaves your account, the Privacy Helper quietly masks names, places, and tell-tale details.

  3. 3

    Share anonymously

    Keep it private, post anonymously, or open it to readers. You decide — entry by entry.

Q3 2026

FAQ

Quiet questions, calm answers.

The honest version. If something here isn't clear, it should be — tell us.

What's free?

One entry a day, every day — private by default, with the Privacy Helper included. No card, no trial clock.

What does Pro cost?

Pro is $7.99/mo for unlimited entries plus the full set of privacy and export tools. Upgrade only when one entry a day stops being enough.

Is my writing private?

Yes. Private entries never leave your account — encrypted at rest, behind row-level security. Anonymous and Public entries are reader-readable only because you chose to share them.

Will you ever show ads?

No. Pro subscriptions are how this works. Reading and writing surfaces will never carry ads, tracking pixels, or third-party trackers.

Can I export my journal?

Yes. JSON export is available today. PDF and Markdown export ship with the Pro tools.

How anonymous is anonymous?

Anonymous entries carry your pen name, never your account identity. The Privacy Helper masks names and places before you post, so even shared writing keeps your life off the page.

Where the diary becomes a practice.

Free during pre-launch. Pen names locked in on signup. No tracking pixel, no streak shaming, no ads.
