Local profile prototype: These settings work only in this browser. A separate early cloud account and private manuscript workspace is now available; these settings and drafts still remain local to this browser. “Deactivate account” and server-side account deletion are not available until secure accounts exist.
🌐 Create Your Real App Profile
Want a pen name other members can see and a way to publish writing in the app? Sign in, save your cloud profile, then publish explicitly to Kindred Voices. The local profile editor farther down this page is only for this browser.
⚙️ Your Settings at a Glance
Jump directly to the options you want to change.
🔐 Cloud account and private manuscripts
Sign in and manage private cloud manuscripts →
The cloud workspace is separate from local drafts. Nothing is uploaded automatically.
🔐 Your Manuscript Key
See how our planned 12-word recovery phrase and everyday password will work. The proposed recovery-phrase system is not live; use the email sign-in on the account page.
📷 Identity & Profile
Nothing is uploaded. Photo is stored locally only if the browser has space.
🛡️ Safety & Privacy
Control profile visibility, who can message you, blocked writers and private or public favorite pen names. Private and messages-off are the defaults.
✉️ Private Messages
Connect directly with another writer using their pen name. Messaging requires a signed-in account and respects blocks. This is an early feature without end-to-end encryption or full moderation tools.
📚 Your Reading Life
Keep track of favorite books, books you have read, and books you hope to read. Your lists are private on this device for now.
🔥 Community & Connection
Discover the Campfire, Kindred Voices, and other spaces where stories can bring people together. These rooms are previews until safe public posting is ready.
🔏 Privacy & Comfort
Public-ready is only a local label. It never publishes a reflection. The Scripture Room can use this default when composing new reflections.
📦 Take Your Words With You
Export the locally stored pen name, bio, settings, original Ink Room draft, Writer's Studio manuscripts and Scripture reflections into one JSON backup. Your local profile photo is included if saved.
Export is a browser download, not an account transfer. Store your backup somewhere safe. The file contains your private writing and is not encrypted.
🚪 Leaving the Community
Leave and leave your writings: You can simply stop using the app. Your existing browser data remains on this device unless it is cleared. There is no public community account to deactivate yet.
Deactivate account: Coming with authenticated accounts. A future deactivation must preserve or unpublish content according to the writer's explicit choice, with a clear reactivation policy.
Change password: Not available yet. No password is stored or accepted by this prototype. Future password changes must happen through a secure identity provider.
🔥 Burn the Manuscript
Some stories are meant to be told and then never told again.
Delete local writing and profile: Permanently clears this app's known local manuscript, draft, reflection, highlight, pen name, profile, and settings keys from this browser. This cannot be undone without a backup. It does not erase downloaded exports, other devices, browser backups, or any future server data.
No harm, no foul. Leaving is always your decision.
