Spills

Everybody saw it.
Nobody heard you.

A spill is the post you'd never put anywhere else. Say the real thing under an alias, and people who get it answer with a hug, a heart, or a same.

Dear stranger, I hope your tea is still hot. Today I told my manager I was struggling and she said "me too." I didn't know how much I needed that. Passing it on.

Mine is hot, thank you. I've been the "fine" one at work for a year. Reading this on the bus home made me cry, the good kind.

House rules

Four things keep it kind.

They're short on purpose.

Use an alias.

People see a name like QuietOtter and your city. Never your real name or your face.

Support, don't fix.

A hug, a heart or a same often says more than advice. Replies that aren't supportive can be reported.

Your words, your clock.

Every spill lasts 24 hours, 7 days or forever. You choose, and you can delete it whenever you like.

No scoreboard.

There are no follower counts. Nobody here is building an audience.

Questions

Good to know.

What is Spillr?

Spillr is a free iPhone app for saying the real thing. You post a spill under an alias, and people who get it answer with a hug, a heart or a same. You can also write one letter a day to a stranger, check in with how you feel, and play small quiet games.

Is Spillr really anonymous?

Yes. You post under an alias like QuietOtter, and people see that and your city, never your real name or your face. There are no follower counts and no audience to build.

Do posts disappear?

You decide. Each spill can stay for 24 hours, 7 days or forever, and you can delete it whenever you like.

What are Scrolls?

A Scroll is a letter to one stranger, one a day. They can reply once within seven days, and if you both want to keep going, it opens into a chat. Nothing is shared unless you both say yes.

Is Spillr free?

Yes, Spillr is free to download and free to use.

Is Spillr safe?

Spillr is built to keep it kind: aliases instead of names, no follower counts, and reactions instead of arguments. Any spill or reply can be reported, including a reply that simply is not supportive.

Is Spillr a substitute for therapy?

No. Spillr is a place to let something out, not treatment, and nothing on it is medical advice. If the same weight is there most days, please talk to a doctor or a therapist, and if you are in crisis, contact a crisis line or your local emergency services.

Come as you are.

For the feelings you never shared.
