Dear Self,
A sanctuary for your private thoughts, delivered to the one place you visit daily.
The art of the unsent letter.
Dear Self is a quiet space in a noisy digital world. We believe journaling shouldn't require a new app, a new login, or a new habit. It should live where you already are.
A Conversation with the Future
Journaling often feels like a chore—another task on a never-ending list. We believe it should be something else entirely: a dialogue with your future self.
It is the act of capturing the ephemeral nature of your days and preserving them in amber. By writing to yourself, you aren't just recording events; you are clarifying your soul, untangling the knots of the day.
Why Email?
Frictionless Reflection
No new apps to download. No passwords to remember. You already check your email every day. We simply turn a mundane utility into a tool for profound self-discovery.
True Privacy
Your thoughts belong to you. Unlike social platforms that mine your data, email is a direct line. It's intimate, personal, and safe.
The Permanence of Text
Apps fade, interfaces change, startups pivot. Email is the bedrock of the internet. Your words, sent as simple text, possess a longevity that proprietary formats cannot match.
