Inlet
What Inlet is
Inlet is an AI-driven journaling assistant for recording and recalling personal moments, available in a browser and on iOS, with Android in open testing on Google Play. Short daily prompts help users get started, and spoken entries become editable text before saving. Entries can include photos or videos up to 30 seconds long. Inlet can shape notes into diary entries and says it uses only what users wrote rather than adding events or feelings. Memory features include quizzes based on a user’s entries and a changing summary of what matters to them. Users can set aims and keep notes; both are marked 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 maker says user data is stored in an encrypted database, photos in secure object storage, and app secrets separately. Inlet says it does not sell content, though it uses AI on content for summaries, prompts, and maintaining a throughline. The Free plan costs nothing and includes writing, prompts, aims, and day summaries.
