breakup
when you want to text your ex
i miss you and i hate that i still check if you're online
you can miss them and still leave your phone alone tonight.
sample text. not a real user.
your thumb is
over send.
write the 2am text here instead. get a reply, keep it or burn it, and it never reaches them.
the inbox for the texts you'll never send.
write the one you can't sendfree. no account, no app. your words stay on your device unless you choose to sync.need to stop right now? →
what it helps with
see the text before it costs you.
unsend is for the text you probably should not send tonight. Write the raw version here, read it back, and let the heat come down before you decide anything.
work
when the meeting followed you home
you made me feel invisible in front of everyone today
write the angry version here. decide tomorrow what needs to be said at work.
sample text. not a real user.
family
when saying it out loud would start a war
i need you to stop making every boundary sound like betrayal
get it out here first. the real conversation can wait until you are less charged.
sample text. not a real user.
the five doors
there is usually one text you know you should not send.
sometimes there are five.
pick who it's for. the app changes the prompt, the reply, and the tone depending on the person. grief gets handled gently. an ex gets the no-contact tools.
the panic button and crisis links stay free. you do not have to pay to use the part that helps you stop for a minute.
to: my exthe 2am text. the paragraph you rewrote four times and almost sent.→to: my bossthe resignation speech. the thing you swallowed in that meeting.→to: my familythe thing you can't say at the dinner table without it becoming a war.→to: someone i lostthe conversation that didn't get to finish.→to: my past selfeverything they didn't know yet.→

how it works · 90 seconds
0:00
write it exactly how you'd send it
the 2am version. the angry version. the one you've rewritten four times. it goes in the inbox, not to them.
0:45
read a reply before you do anything
you get a short reply that slows the moment down. no lecture, no fake calm voice, no one on our side reading over your shoulder.
1:30
then keep it, or burn it
keep it in your private vault, or burn it when you are done with it.
quick answers
what is unsend?
unsend is a private inbox for messages you should not send yet. write the raw text, read it back with a reply, then keep it or delete it.
is it just for breakups?
no. the ex door has no-contact tools, but there are also doors for work, family, grief, and your past self.
can anyone read what i write?
not by default. your words stay on your device unless you choose to sync. if you sync, they are encrypted before storage.
what is free?
the inbox starts with three replies a day. the panic button and crisis links are free whether you pay or not.
keep it
save it for later
kept messages go into a private timeline. It lives on your device, and follows you to a new phone only if you ask it to.
encrypted if you sync it. never read by us.
burn it
delete it for good
burn the message and it disappears from the app. useful when the point was getting it out, not keeping it.
before you trust it with the real thing
not therapy
we say what this is
unsend is a private writing tool, not therapy or crisis care. if someone needs a real person, the crisis links are easy to find and never paid.
an old tool, a new address
it is the unsent letter, made for texting
people have written letters they never send for years. unsend puts that same idea where the urge usually happens now: in a message thread.
yours alone
no account needed
your words stay on your device unless you choose to sync. if you sync, they are encrypted before they are stored. burn a message and it is removed.
and when it's an ex
no-contact tools for the hardest door.
your streak
count the days you leave them alone. day one is usually the hardest.
the panic button
hand already on their name? press this instead. it gives the urge a minute to pass.
the 30-day detox
one check-in and one small task a day. built around no contact, not generic motivation.
what it costs
free forever
three replies a day, your vault, the panic button, and crisis links one tap away. no card.
three is enough for a lot of nights. membership is for the nights where it is not.
start tonight, freethe urge lasts twenty minutes.
what you send in it can last years.
unsend exists for that gap between feeling it and sending it. write it here first. your morning gets a better chance.
don't send it. write it here.
