Confessionsfrom existence

Say the thing.

Honesty and release, without judgement.

Some things are heavy because they’re unsaid. Write what you can’t say out loud, release it, and read what others have let go, anonymously, always.

Inside the app

Write it. Release it. Move on.

No feed to perform for, no streaks to keep. Confessions does one thing: it gives the unsaid somewhere to go.

Tonight · 23:41

I moved across the world for a job I don’t love, and I still haven’t told my mother I’m not coming back.

Once released, it’s out of your hands, and off your chest. There is no edit and no going back to read yourself. It’s checked before it appears, then it belongs to the room.

Write

Write what you can't say

A blank page and nothing else. No prompts, no character limit, no audience to perform for.

Anonymous · always

No account, no author

Nothing identifying reaches us. No sign-up, no profile, no device ID. A confession arrives as words alone, so there is no link back to you for us to hold, or to hand over.

Release

Let it leave you

When you're done, release it. It leaves your drafts, and, a little, your evening. Your name was never on it to begin with.

Listen

You're not the only one

Read what others have released. No replies, no likes, no counters, just the quiet company of strangers being honest.

Screens

Four screens. That’s the app.

International feed01

Say something back, or read what strangers already have.

Google, email, or stay fully anonymous. Your call.

Keep the confessions that stayed with you.

Privacy

We never learn who you are.

Anonymity isn’t a setting you have to find here, it’s the shape of the app. No account, no profile, no device identifier. A confession reaches us as words and a timestamp and nothing else, so there is no thread to pull, by us or by anyone who comes asking.

What we do keep is the confession itself, so that others can read it. What never existed is the line between it and you.

Honesty needs a room where nobody knows your name.

What we never ask for

No account. Open the app and write. There is nothing to sign up for, and nothing to sign in to.

No names, no handles. A confession carries no author, ever, not even a pseudonym.

No device identifier. Nothing that identifies your phone travels with a confession. We never receive one, so we have none to lose.

No profile, no history. Nothing links one confession to another, so there is no archive of you to assemble, by us or by anyone else.

No replies, no ratings. Nothing you release can be judged back at you.

Trust and safety

Anonymous doesn’t mean unmoderated.

The fair worry about a room where nobody has a name is what people will do with it. So every confession is checked before it appears. Not for how you feel, or what you did, or how badly you put it, but for the small set of things that would make this unusable for everyone else.

Before it appears

Every confession is checked

Nothing goes live unread. A confession is checked for what it contains, never for who wrote it, because there is nothing attached to it that could say.

Model-assisted

Software reads first, people read second

A classifier does the first pass, against categories like hate speech, threats, abuse and criminal content. Anything it isn't sure about goes to someone on our team, who sees exactly what it sees: words on a page, with no author.

If it doesn't pass

Rejected confessions are deleted

What fails the check is never published and isn't kept. It doesn't go into a file under your name, because there is no name and no file.

Not a rulebook

We describe the categories, not the line

We won't publish the exact thresholds. That would mostly help the people trying to stand just on the other side of them, and this only works if the room stays worth sitting in.

A room where anything goes stops being a room anyone wants to sit in.

Moderation is the one place we look at what people write, and it’s still only the writing. We can read a confession and we can remove it. We can’t tell you whose it was, and neither can anyone who asks us.
