Privacy is more than a lock icon. A useful private journaling choice should explain what is collected, which features require processing, and how deletion works. Let It Out combines a focused worry workflow with public privacy and account-deletion information.
Free to download, with optional in-app purchases.
Who this private journal app is for
You want to write honestly about what is worrying you: a strain in a relationship, a debt, a problem at work you have not mentioned to anyone. Before you type a word, you want to know who could see it, whether anything is shared, and how to delete it all later. This page is for choosing a journal on those terms, one with no audience, where the privacy and deletion details are published before you start.
- People who do not want a social journaling experience
- Short, focused worry entries
- Users who want visible deletion and privacy documentation

A focused private journal versus a general diary app
General diary apps are built for recording a life: photos, templates, long entries and sometimes sharing. That is a good fit if you want a record of everything.
Let It Out is narrower. It holds worries rather than your whole life, with no public profile, social feed or streaks, and it publishes a plain-language privacy overview and an account deletion route. Privacy still depends on the features you use: the optional Worry Guide and monthly insights process the content you choose to send them. Whichever app you pick, read the privacy policy and the current app-store privacy label rather than relying on a lock icon.
- No public feed
- Dedicated privacy and account-deletion pages
- Clear separation between the free app and optional purchases
- Plain-language privacy summary linked to the legal policy
Questions about the private journal app
Who can see what I write?
There is no public profile or social feed, so entries are not posted anywhere. If you use the Worry Guide or monthly insights, the content needed to generate the result is processed for that feature. The privacy policy is the definitive description of how information is handled, so read it before entering anything you consider especially sensitive.
How do I delete my account and entries?
In the app, open your profile, scroll to the bottom, tap Delete Account and confirm. Deletion is irreversible and removes your account and stored data. If you no longer have the app installed, or something goes wrong, contact support for help with deletion. The account deletion page lists the full steps.
Is Let It Out free, and what does a subscription involve?
The app is free to download, with the current free allowance shown in the app. Perspective Plus is optional and costs $2.99 per week or $49.99 per year, with the same features on both plans. If you subscribe, the privacy policy explains how subscription status is used to unlock features. Prices can vary by country and platform.
