If you’ve ever just wanted to vent online, but worried about how your true feelings might be perceived, now there’s an app for that. Air Out! is now available across Canada and the United States, giving users a place to put their thoughts in a quick, easy-to-use platform that provides instant emotional relief. Initially conceived to support mothers in sharing unspoken challenges, the app has evolved into a dynamic space for anyone to vent, confess, and brag, with true anonymity.
How does Air Out! work?
With a 100-character count limit, no user names, no interaction between users, and minimalist design, Air Out! provides an exciting and fresh take on how we express ourselves. The app features six chat spaces: Moms, Dads, Work, Love, Vent, and Brag.
“We don’t always want solutions or advice. Often, we just want to feel heard,” says Air Out! Founder, Canadian broadcaster, and mom of three, Courtney Stanfield. “I realized there wasn’t a space where you could unload the heavy stuff without someone making you feel bad about it.”
Is AirOut! a safe space?
With language filters and privacy protocols, Air Out! strives to be a welcoming place for all users, offering a refreshing change from the often volatile and aggressive comments on traditional social media.
“As an advocate for robust mental wellness, I recognize the critical importance of having a safe space for emotional expression,” states Holistic Stress Management expert and award winning executive coach Mitchell Creasey. “This app is an invaluable resource, thoughtfully designed to ensure that personal thoughts do not transform into personal burdens. It’s more than an app. It’s a pivotal mental health resource for our times.”
The idea for the app came to Stanfield in a dream in March 2024, she recalls it being so profound she started emailing app development companies in the middle of the night. “There isn’t a person in America that wouldn’t benefit from an outlet like this,” Stanfield says, “Air Out! is a way to simplify your life by giving your thoughts a place to go without judgement.”
Release your thoughts to strangers and feel better instantly, no guilt. Air Out! Is available for free download across North America on the Apple Store and Google Play. Or learn more at AirOutApp.com .
