Exactly what I was looking for in a journaling app! I use the journal prompts daily. Love that I can use it for my gratitude journaling but also can use the guides for deeper reflection. Generous free offering, and the premium is a great value. Bonus: The support team is quick and friendly!

I find myself being able to journal almost every day now with the app. I am 50 years old I am set in my ways I love the smell of paper and I love the way the pen flows and I love to see the ink marks on my hand. But in this busy world that we are in I don’t get time to fully write what I want to write whereas this way I’m actually not even writing when I’m journaling I get to talk and express my thoughts through words with the app. The guides that they offer wonderful for when you just wanna journal about something the insides are amazing the membership is invaluable and the community of people are just amazing people get the app become a part of the community you will not regret it.

I rarely leave reviews, mainly because not all applications are life-changing, but this one definitely is life-changing and worthy of one. The app's mechanism allows you type out all of your thoughts and feelings in a very clean, blank screen that is quite peaceful, conducive for reflection, and not hurtful to the eyes (as it is in, well, plain back). The default font style is not heavy on the eyes to read, and it seems rather fancy when I first encountered and used this app (great job on this by the way). This usually prompts me to leave more comprehensive details on my experiences, which are essential for more effective personal reflections. Furthermore, after having typed down your reflection for a certain day, a monthly review will be made available to you after, well, a month. This allows you to have a greater view of what had happened in the past, and how you may have changed your attitude or tune about your past experience. In short: it is a FANTASTIC reflection application. I fell in love with this application the first time I used this, and will continue to do so until the end of my journey in medical school. Kudos to all behind this application!

I tried another AI Journaling app but this app has been the absolute best experience of the various apps I have tried. It is simple and easy to use, and I can easily just dump my thoughts onto the page if I want to or I can get specific with guides or the use of AI tools. The AI tool within an entry already helped me to think through the situation better that I was writing on and to walk away feeling calmer and more at peace with what happened. I am really looking forward to continuing.

Some apps feel limiting when premium/subscription isn’t purchased. This one embodies how premiums are add-ons/bonus features that add sparkle to its already wonderful feature list.

I'll keep this short and sweet. I don't think I've been this excited about an app or an AI product in quite a while. This thing is beautifully designed, it operates just the same. They have Mac and an iOS application, and I think that the AI "journaling" is poised to become lot more purposeful than "note-taking" - if you appreciate the distinction & nuance there. If you're looking at this, understand it does cost, but they offer a "scholarship" so that you can pay what you can in the first year and get the full benefit. Incredibly gracious & how it should be. I support the heck out of Reflection; I've got it front and center, and can't wait to see what unfolds along the journey with it. Thank you guys so much!

Highly recommend to anyone wanting growth, clarity, and a daily boost of purpose!

I’ve got to start out with saying that I think this app was made for me. It checks all of the boxes for the experience I was looking to have in journaling, which included harnessing AI for in depth self discovery. It’s aesthetically pleasing and I enjoy using it very much. This app has already changed in the short time I’ve been using it, and every new implementation makes me feel even more seen, and reaffirms that I’ve found a true gem, that will only continue to get better over time. Thank you! The subscription is worth it for me, to get more use out of the AI. I might even buy the lifetime membership when my financial situation is more stable. There are just so many applications for use of the AI in this app. I have been mostly using it for dream analysis, and keeping track of my goals. Highly recommend.

To Dave, Mike, and your Team- Thank you for this. I’ve journaled in the past, but this is different. Having your thoughts and feelings summarized and sent back to you in a structured way, along with reflective questions and coaching rather than just dumping everything and leaving it there, is a game changer. Especially if you experience any kind of mental overload that leaves you feeling lost and exhausted. I feel the free version gives you enough to truly help and build on, and, while I’ve not purchased it at this time, I feel the cost to upgrade is reasonable and worth doing, so I will be doing this.
