Rant & Private Burn Journal

Get it out of your head.

Rant. Vent. Spiral. Dump the thought before it keeps circling. Write the ugly version or say it out loud, then decide: keep what helps, burn what doesn't. No audience, no account, no cleanup required.

How it works

Dump it. Decide. Let it go.

Most journals are built to help you remember. This one is built for the thoughts you're done carrying.

The Dump screen, with a voice note recorder and a text box that says Rant, vent, spiral, or dump it here
01 · DUMP

Get the messy version out.

Write it with no filter, or record a voice note if talking is easier. It doesn't have to be pretty, wise, or calm.

The burn screen: Ready to let go? This entry will be permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.
02 · BURN

Keep it, or burn it.

Burning runs a short release ritual: an optional breath, then the page goes up in flames and the entry is permanently deleted.

The Sparks screen, listing writing prompts by category
03 · SPARKS

Stuck? Grab a spark.

Over 90 free prompts for when your head is full but the first sentence won't come out.

What's in it

Built for the ugly version.

Dump space

A blank page that autosaves while you write, plus a voice recorder for the stuff that's easier to say than type.

The burn ritual

An optional breathing exercise, a fire animation, and the entry is gone. Burning is always free and unlimited.

The Kept shelf

Keep what still needs a place. Lock individual thoughts, search them, or burn them the second they stop serving you.

Sparks

Prompts for emotional release, letting go, self-discovery, gratitude, and reflection. Favorite the ones that land.

Private by default

No account, no sign-in, no analytics. Entries stay on your iPhone, and written entries are encrypted on the device.

Light or dark, modern or classic

Pick a light, dark, or system theme and a modern or classic typeface. Sounds and haptics can be turned off.

FAQ

A few quick answers.

Do I need an account?

No. There's no sign-in and no cloud profile. Everything you write or record stays on your iPhone.

Is burning really permanent?

Yes. Burning deletes the entry and its voice note from the app. There's no trash folder and no undo, so the app asks you once before it burns.

Wasn't this called Ember Journal?

It was. Same app, new name. Your entries and any Premium purchase carry over with the update.
