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 0.00 USD per free and includes writing, prompts, aims, and day summaries.
Who it is for
Inlet suits people who want to record journal entries by voice or text and revisit them with quizzes and summaries. It may also suit users who want optional group activity visibility while choosing when to share individual entries.
What is good
- Voice entries become editable text before saving.
- Entries support photos and videos up to 30 seconds.

- Account deletion is available, with permanent erasure after 15 days.
What to know first
- Aims and notes are beta features.
- Android is in open testing on Google Play.
- The maker says it cannot protect data on a compromised device.

Verdict
Inlet pairs guided journaling with tools for revisiting personal entries, while leaving sharing of an entry to its author. Its privacy notes include limits around compromised devices and infrastructure providers, so those details merit attention.
