Between the pages

Every kind of day belongs here.

A sentence, a sketch, a moment you want to keep. There’s more than one way to tell your story.

Meet Inkling

A companion, not a nag

Your living-ink familiar glows when you show up and recolors with your theme. It celebrates consistency and never shames a missed day.

A little company. At your own pace.

Talk it through

Talk it through. Out loud, if you like.

Chat with Inkling like you'd text a friend who actually remembers. Every conversation is saved, encrypted, and waiting where you left it.

  • Conversations you can come back to

    A fresh page every time, and every chat before it in a list. Named, searchable, yours.

  • Call when typing's too slow

    Live captions while you talk. Say bye and Inkling hangs up for you. On Bonfire.

  • It drafts the entry, if you say yes

    Shared something worth keeping? Inkling offers to write it up in your words. Nothing's saved until you tap Save.

Small rituals

For the things a plain page can’t hold.

Voice entries

Talk it out. The ink keeps up.

Speak a thought while it’s fresh. Voice entries turn your recording into words you can edit with Glow or Bonfire.

The Unsent Vault

Say the thing you'll never send

Open the letter ↗Close the letter −

The angry reply, the apology, the goodbye. Write it, seal it, and let it go. Hearth gently checks in thirty days later.

Future Me

Write to who you'll become

Seal an encrypted letter to your future self. It stays sealed until the day you chose, not a moment sooner.

Included with Glow and Bonfire

Try choosing a date for your future self.

The whole point

Privacy, in plain words.

Privacy Policy ↗

Encrypted, always

Your entries are encrypted before upload. In managed mode, Hearth holds a protected recovery key, and AI you've turned on can process entries temporarily. We don't keep that plaintext or use it to train AI.

Private Vault = proof

Flip one switch and "we don't read it" becomes "we can't": our spare key is deleted, and only your passphrase opens your words. Free on every plan.

Honest pricing
