Private stays private — including from the AI
Entries filed as PRIVATE are excluded from friend search, from ASK A FRIEND, and from inheritance. Sharing is per entry, never per account.
Switching from Penzu
Penzu built its name on privacy. Privacy here is the starting point, not the whole product — private entries stay private, and everything else earns its way out.
What happens after you write
Penzu stores the entry and shows it again when you scroll back.
Your entries become searchable material you can ASK questions of — answered in your own words first, with the source entry shown.
Outside sources
None, or generic AI text with no citation.
1,950+ public-domain classics, 111,000+ attributed quotes, 6,100+ artworks, indexed podcasts, and published research — every answer tied back to one of your entries and cited.
Private vs shared
One private pile, plus an all-or-nothing export.
Entry-by-entry spaces: PRIVATE, PUBLIC, PROJECT, ADVISOR. Family and friends only ever reach what you filed for them.
Legacy
Nothing built in.
FUTURE LETTERS delivered on a date years away, a named digital executor, and printable keepsakes for relatives who will never sign in.
Getting your data out
Varies by plan and format.
Export everything, or only entries since a date, at any time — including entries you wrote here.

Who can read my entries?
Only you, unless you file an entry to a shared space or name a specific person. Private entries are never surfaced to anyone else.
