About this place
This started with a simple thought: sometimes you just need to get something out of your chest, and you don't need anyone to reply.
Not a therapist. Not a friend. Not a stranger on Reddit who'll argue about it. You just need to write it down and let it go.
That's the whole thing. You write what you can't say out loud, drop it in the jar, and walk away. No one knows it's you. No one will ever know.
The two dollars
Yeah, it costs two dollars. Here's why.
If it's free, it fills up with garbage in a week. Bots, spam, people posting links to their SoundCloud. We tried. It doesn't work.
A small payment keeps the space real. It means every single thing in the jar was put there by someone who actually meant it. And it means we never have to sell ads or your data to keep the lights on.
One million, then it's done
The jar holds 1,000,000 notes. When it's full, it seals. No more submissions. No season two. It's just done.
We liked the idea of something on the internet that actually ends.
Privacy
There are no accounts. We don't have your name, your email, or your IP tied to what you wrote. The payment goes through a separate processor, so even the billing has nothing to do with your vent.
We use a small functional cookie to protect the site from bots. That's it. No analytics following you around the web, no ad pixels, no data sold to anyone. The full details are in the privacy policy and terms, but the short version is: we don't collect what we don't need.
This is not a crisis service.
Nobody reads what you submit in real time. If you're going through something serious, please talk to someone who can actually help:

Keep the lights on
This is a personal project. No company, no investors, no ads. Just a quiet place someone built because they thought it should exist.
If you'd like to help it stay, you can leave something in the vault.
