Who—or what—needs a letter?
You do not need the whole story or the right explanation. Bring the grief, anger, longing, uncertainty, or unfinished goodbye. Choose the closest starting point and let one honest sentence begin.
An example letter
To someone I missDraft
What I still reach for my phone to tell you…
Today something small happened, and for a second I forgot I couldn't send it to you. I think that's the part I haven't known how to say.

See the practice
Start with the words. Decide what comes next.
Begin with a prompt, follow the sentence where it goes, and choose whether the page is something to keep, burn, or release. For breakup letters, a private no-contact counter can help you stay with the choice you made.

Write the unsent letter
Choose who—or what—you’re writing to, then pick the moment you’re in. Rescript opens the page with a starting prompt so you do not have to find the first sentence alone.
The research behind the writing
A little structure for
what feels difficult.
Expressive writing has a long research history. Healing draws on that approach with four guided sessions, an optional breathing exercise, and AI feedback at the end of the cycle.
The evidence is worth understanding, including its limits. Read how the Pennebaker method works, what studies found, and how to choose a practice that fits today.

A few things you might be wondering.
How does an unsent letter work?
Choose who or what the letter is for, select a starting point, and write in the editor. When you are finished, you choose what the letter becomes: save it, burn it, or release it. Rescript never sends the letter to its subject.
What do save, burn, and release mean?
Save keeps the letter in your desk. Burn and release are deliberate closing actions with their own visual moments in the app. The confirmation screen explains the consequence before either action is completed.
Can I add a photo to a letter?
Yes. The current Letters editor supports adding a photo, and the closing scene can include the letter and its image. Photos are optional. Read the Privacy Policy before adding personal material, and check your app version if its screen differs from the website demonstration.
How does the no-contact tracker work?
In a breakup letter, choose the date you stopped reaching out. The no-contact count appears with the letter and on The Desk. It records time since the date you chose; it does not monitor your ex or measure how well you are recovering.
Does burning a letter help me move on?
Burn is an optional symbolic ending. Research on writing and physically disposing of paper provides related context, but it does not prove that a digital burn scene treats grief, anger, or heartbreak. You can keep the letter, choose another ending, or stop without a ritual.
