What we won’t add.

Every product accumulates feature requests. Yewmark has some too. Here’s what we’ve decided not to do, and why we wrote it down.

No streaks. See: Why slow.

No public sharing. Every word in your journal is for you. The product collapses if you write for an audience — performance is the opposite of reflection.

No emoji reactions, hearts, or scoring. The AI’s job is to ask one good question, not to clap.

No training on your entries. None. Not anonymized, not aggregated, not for “model improvement.” Your words don’t enter our pipeline.

No notifications you didn’t ask for. The only emails Yewmark sends: the welcome, an optional daily summary, an optional Sunday thread, and a single note when you write your first entry. All toggleable in Settings.

We may add things later. But the absence of a feature is usually a decision, not an oversight.
