About

I'm building Solous, a private journal for the things that fit nowhere. Years later your old entries come back and you can reply to them, so each memory grows into a conversation with every version of you. Free, no ads, no streaks, and end-to-end encryption if you want it. I read every comment, so say hi

What would make you trust an app with your deepest secrets?

We re building Solous (Solous.net), a place to keep the things you don t tell anyone. Before we launch, we want to get the trust part right.

So, honestly: what would it take for you to write something truly private in an app? End-to-end encryption? No account required? Knowing who s behind it? Or is it something you d never do?

How many of your signups are bots?

Someone on your team posts the sign-up number in Slack every week. Everyone reacts with a rocket emoji.

Nobody asks how many of those people are real.

Fake signups don t announce themselves. They show up as inflated user counts, a welcome email list full of dead addresses, a free tier quietly being used by scripts, or an sms bill that spikes for no reason. By the time someone notices, the data is already messy.

Solous - Some things fit nowhere. They go here.

A private journal for the thoughts that fit nowhere. Years later an entry comes back and you can reply to it, so each memory grows a thread written by every version of you. Hand each line to whoever inside you is saying it: Joy, Fear, the 15-year-old. Free, no ads, no streaks, with optional end-to-end encryption.
