The record

Product: Dabble Me is a private journaling service built around email prompts and replying by email with journal entries.
Memory reminders: Past entries can resurface automatically as “Blasts from the Past.”
Features: PRO includes a custom prompt schedule, photo attachments, calendar and search, entry tags, rich text, and insights and analytics.
Email compatibility: The service says replying by email works with any email provider.
AI integrations: PRO members can connect the journal to ChatGPT, Claude, or another MCP-compatible AI client.
MCP access: MCP access requires an active PRO subscription and a passkey or two-factor authentication, and users can revoke connected apps.
Privacy: Journal entries are private by default and are not public, searchable by Google, or shareable inside the product.
Security: The privacy policy says stored data is encrypted at rest, connections use HTTPS, and passwords are hashed rather than stored in plain text.
AI data use: Optional AI features are off by default; when enabled, entries or portions may be sent to providers including OpenAI and Hugging Face, and the policy says providers may not train on that content.
Email privacy limit: The service says email content may pass through email providers in transit and that it may not suit users who require end-to-end encryption.
Mobile access: Dabble Me says it has no standalone iOS or Android app; its website is mobile-friendly and entries can be written by replying in an existing email app.
Import and export: PRO members can import entries from OhLife, Day One, Ahhlife, and Trailmix.life; users can export entries as TXT or JSON.
Support and refunds: The support page directs users to email for help and says refund requests made within 30 days of a charge are handled case by case.
Maker and history: The privacy policy says Dabble Me launched in 2014 and has remained independently owned and operated as a user-funded service by its original owner/developer.
Price from: $3.33/mo
