Hi Hunters! We're Vishruth and Faraaz. We built Spill as an extended release of Farza's Freewriting app with a voice mode to reflect on your thoughts. Freewriting is super powerful if you’re looking to unclutter your thoughts and make decisions quicker and better. Using this app is super simple: 1. Think of a topic to write about (ex. a breakup, a struggle at work, a new idea) 2. Click fullscreen 3. Click the timer 4. Start writing. No backspaces allowed. Don’t stop writing. 5. Once the timer runs out, click on "Reflect" and start talking to the AI that has full context of all your journal entries.

Spill gives your thoughts the space they deserve no clutter, no judgment. Just a clean canvas to write freely, followed by a voice mode that helps you reflect without overthinking. It’s like journaling meets introspection, minus the noise.

Congrats! I really appreciate the minimalist design. It's so clean and focused. One feature I'm hoping to see is ability to import journals from other apps. This would make it so much easier to switch over and keep all my thoughts in one place.
Awesome work so far!

Whoa, this is exactly what I need—my writing always gets tangled up with distractions. A minimalist space to just let ideas flow? That’s genius. Does it support offline mode too?

Itching for this on Windows, this is genuinely such a breath of fresh air. As a writer, it feels so rare to find ways to enable unfiltered thinking when everyone censors themselves constantly in most environments, especially with AI.

Super cool how there's zero concerns with privacy with the writing since it's local since that would have been my first concern as a user but I'm curious, what about privacy regarding conversations with the voice agent?

Tried Spill and really love the simplicity — feels like the kind of space your mind can actually breathe in. The voice reflection mode is a smart twist I haven’t seen done this well before. Excited to see where this goes!

Minimal design, a must-have requirement for a distraction-free space. Looking forward to use it.

Hi Vishruth and Faraaz!

Thank you for creating such an outstanding application. After testing it thoroughly, I'm impressed with how well it works as intended, and it's actually inspired a new idea for my personal project.

I've always struggled with maintaining a consistent journaling practice and daily reflection, so I'm excited to try the format your app provides. Like other reviewers have mentioned, I'd love to see text formatting options added to journal entries.

I also see your product as great for freewriting, and later I can polish my drafts with Raycast AI to fix errors and improve structure. However, integrating this capability directly into your app would be valuable, as not everyone uses external AI services.

This wouldn't interfere with adding organizational features like text highlighting, list creation, and content structuring. You might even consider developing an AI feature that automatically suggests structural improvements for entries.

Looking forward to seeing how the app evolves!

Congrats on this approach, I like it! I really do! Very cool, would love it for iOS just saying, 9/10 times when I'm walking my dog is usually when I am able to just record/type stuff out its my time for a full-on brain dump. But have always loved the freewriting mindset.

Love the concept, especially the “no backspace” rule to encourage unfiltered thinking. Curious, how do you handle privacy and data retention for users who are sharing deeply personal thoughts over time? Is any of the data stored for training, or is everything kept entirely local or encrypted?

Yeah! Fresh air when I see minimalist solution like this. Freewriting can be an enjoyable task again because of this and hope many writers can see the same. All the best here!

“No Backspaces” is a simple yet powerful tool for training critical thinking. Especially in an era where GPTs have led to a decline in deep thinking, it could serve as one remedy to help reverse that trend. I revised this sentence using ChatGPT though 😂

Love the minimalist, no-backspace approach — it forces true stream-of-consciousness writing, which is so rare in today’s over-edited world. The voice reflection mode is such a thoughtful addition too — it feels like having a conversation with your inner self, but smarter. Can totally see this becoming a daily ritual for clearing mental clutter and making better decisions. Curious how you’re thinking about privacy for sensitive entries?

Congrats! The app seems great for emotional writing and brainstorming, but how do you plan to support users who need more structure, like outlines, task lists, or business writing?

I downloaded it. Will there be a possibility to format things? (like bold, italics etc.)?

+ if users could create an account related to Gmail to not lose their writings, it would be cool (just in case that the notebook will be stolne or so) :)
