Sometimes you don't need to send the message.
You just need somewhere to put the first version.
Writing things down can help you pause before reacting. Burn After Chat gives you a private space to put your feelings into words, then delete them.
How it works
Open a private chat
Tap "Start a private dump". A fake chat opens. No account needed.
Write the raw version
Say everything you want to say. The raw, unfiltered version. Void listens and responds calmly.
Delete it when ready
Tap "Delete chat". Messages are gone. They were never stored anywhere. Then decide what to actually do.
For the message you'll regret later
Before texting an ex
Write the message here first. Then delete it.
Before emailing your boss
Get the emotion out. Then write the professional version.
After a family argument
Say what you couldn't say out loud. Then let it go.
Before replying on social media
Draft the response you should never post. Burn it.
After a breakup
Write what you wish you could say. Then decide if you should.
Before a stressful meeting
Put the anxiety into words. Clear your head first.
Local by design
Your messages stay in your browser memory only. No account. No server. No AI. No message history. Reloading or deleting the chat removes everything permanently.
