What Inlet is
Inlet is a journaling assistant designed to help users capture and recall personal moments. It offers short daily prompts, and voice entries appear as editable text before saving. Users can add photos or videos up to 30 seconds long. Inlet can turn notes into diary entries and says it relies on the user’s own writing rather than adding events or feelings. Memory features include quizzes based on a user’s entries and a living summary of what matters to them. Aims and notes are also available, though the welcome page identifies both as beta. Groups can see when members are active, but an entry is shared only when its author tags people and chooses to share it. The free plan includes writing, prompts, aims, and day summaries at no cost, with no trial clock or card. Inlet works in a browser and is listed on iOS; its Android app is in open testing on Google Play. The maker says data is stored in an encrypted database and does not sell users’ content.
