Frequently Asked Questions
-
OUTLT is a quiet, anonymous space for releasing thoughts. You write something, others may witness it, and then it disappears. There are no profiles, no history, no metrics.
-
Identity changes how we express ourselves. When you know no one will trace your words back to you, the pressure to perform disappears. Anonymity is the foundation of honesty here.
-
Impermanence is intentional. When something can't be kept, archived, or resurfaced, you're free to be honest. Ephemerality removes the weight of permanence from your expression.
-
A simple, binary action — someone saw your post. It isn't a like, a reaction, or a metric. It cannot be counted publicly. It exists only to say: someone was here.
-
No and yes. You cannot edit a post once it is uploaded, but you can delete a post from the My Posts page.
-
No. OUTLT is not therapy, not crisis support, and not a substitute for professional help. It quietly lists mental health resources, but the app itself is simply a space for release.
-
Responses change the nature of expression. When you write knowing someone might reply, you write differently. OUTLT protects the purity of release by removing the possibility of interaction beyond witnessing.
-
No. There are no accounts, no identity systems, no analytics, and no tracking. We don't know who you are, and that's by design.
-
The feed is finite. You reach the end. This is intentional — OUTLT is not designed to keep you here. You arrive, you read or release, and you leave.
-
OUTLT is designed for stability, not iteration. Fewer features means a safer, calmer space. We resist the urge to add, optimize, or grow. The system is intentionally minimal.
-
They are deleted completely. No archives, no backups for content recovery, no way to retrieve them. When a post's time is up, it's gone.
