Changelog

A Faster Web App — Reflection on the web is now compiled to WebAssembly and running on the latest engine, so it starts up faster and stays smoother as you write, scroll, and move between entries.

AI That Rides Out a Bad Connection — Personalized prompts, your Today page, and AI Coach now retry on their own when the network drops, instead of stopping at an error. Fewer dead ends on a train, on a plane, or anywhere your signal comes and goes.

Search Built for Bigger Journals — Journal-wide Search is far steadier on large journals, so years of entries return an answer instead of timing out.

Coaching in Your Language and Your Tone — One consistent language rule now runs across every AI feature, so responses come back in the language you write in and match the tone you set.

And more...

• AI Coach responses keep their paragraph breaks and bulleted lists intact
• Signing in lands you on your journal reliably, with clearer errors if Google Sign-In can't complete
• Entries land on the right day on devices using older timezone names
• The in-app Shop link resolves again
• Bug and crash fixes throughout

The All-New Insights Page — Your Insights page has been rebuilt from the ground up to show you what your journaling is actually revealing. Pick any time range and explore your Sentiment over time, your Emotional Landscape — a map of how you've been feeling by energy and positivity — and the Life Domains your writing keeps returning to. A Journaling Consistency view shows your practice at a glance, alongside the themes and tags running through your entries.

Add Your Photo — You can now add a photo to your account and see it across Settings. Take one on the spot or pick from your library, and swap or remove it whenever you like.

Search From Your Home Screen — Press and hold the Reflection icon on iOS or Android to jump straight into Search, so finding that entry from last spring takes one step instead of three.

And more...

• Every subscription option — monthly, annual, and lifetime — is now reachable from the paywall
• Long entries save more reliably, with a clear explanation on the rare occasion one is genuinely too large
• Dividers and bulleted lists stay intact in your entries and in Depth responses
• Short Android voice recordings are better protected when a call or alarm interrupts you
• Quick templates, the web editor, and premium status are all more dependable, plus bug and crash fixes throughout

iOS Delights— Create a new entry straight from iOS Spotlight — just search and go, before the thought slips away. You can also share text from any app right into Reflection to turn it into an entry, not just photos.

Smoother Voice Journaling — Voice coaching now handles longer sessions, the "Upload audio" option is back in the recorder, and desktop dictation no longer repeats paragraphs. We also fixed a crash that could interrupt the voice coach on iOS.

More Reliable Exports and Imports — Moving your journal in and out of Reflection is more dependable now, including CSV imports — so your entries come through complete and intact.

And more...

• Change your account email right from Settings, with secure verification
• Name your quick templates when you save them, and rename them anytime
• Native pull-to-refresh on your Journal
• Journeys now offer a gentler, alternate prompt on emotionally heavy days
• The editor's text-scale control now shows its current value
• Smoother sign-in, plus bug and crash fixes throughout

The Reflection MCP — Connect your journal to Claude and turn it into something you can build on. Save a conversation or thread straight to your journal, ask Claude to surface patterns and insights across your entries, and bulk import, tag, and organize past writing — all from your AI client. It's the foundation for a whole new way to work with your reflections. Read the announcement and setup guide, or start with our guide to AI journaling with MCP if you're new to the protocol.

A Smoother Inline Coach — The inline coach feels more responsive: a cleaner loading animation, a keyboard that stays put while you type, and voice dictation that works just like it does everywhere else in the app. Responses across coach, voice, insights, and search now share one consistent, calmer design.

Voice Journaling That Understands You — Spoken formatting now works the way you'd expect — say "new paragraph" and you get a paragraph break, not the words typed out. Plus more reliable recording and transcription, and the return of free-form voice journaling for when you just want to talk.

Sharper Handwriting Scan — Improved scan-to-text accuracy, so your handwritten pages come through more faithfully when you bring them into Reflection.

And more...

• More reliable templates and daily prompts — saved templates stay put, and your daily prompt and calendar stay on the right day

• Smoother animations, and refreshed icon set
• Major sign-in, sync, and stability improvements
• More dependable upgrades and checkout across web and the app stores

Smarter, Smoother Sign-In — Reflection now remembers and labels the last method you used to sign in on each device, so getting back in is faster. Empty-password attempts surface Forgot Password right away, and confusing account-linking conflicts now show clear guidance instead of failing unexpectedly.

A More Reliable App — Big improvements to startup and reinstall reliability, plus safer entry saving and sync: failed saves keep your page open, offline edits no longer risk wiping your local entries, and download hiccups no longer crash the app. Notifications and guides also load more dependably.

A Sharper Coach and Depth — The inline coach feels less repetitive across turns, and Depth now resolves relative dates more reliably and answers clear perspective questions directly instead of asking unnecessary follow-ups. AI coaching also follows your device language more consistently.

Consistent Daily Prompts on Web — Your daily prompts and questions now stay the same all day instead of reshuffling every time you refresh.

And more...

• Fixed several feedback and reporting flow issues, including keyboard overlap and input handling

• Stability and maintenance improvements throughout

Inline AI Coach — Like texting with a coach while you journal. Get instant responses as you write, switch between text and voice, and weave coaching insights directly into your entry.

Private Entries Now Excluded from AI — Mark any entry as "Private" and it goes beyond just blurring and requiring a passcode to view — it also won't appear in AI search, insights, themes, or any of your reviews. You'll see a clear indicator so you always know which entries are fully excluded.

Cleaner Writing Experience — On desktop and web, the editor toolbar now gently fades while you're typing, so you can focus on your thoughts without distraction. It reappears instantly when you need it.

More Reliable Voice Journaling

We’ve made significant under-the-hood improvements to our voice engine. While mostly invisible to the eye, these updates make recording longer entries, syncing, and error recovery much more robust and reliable.

Updated macOS Icon

We've updated our app icon on Mac! It features a fresh, modern look that feels right at home in your dock and is compatible with a wider range of operating systems.

Alongside these deeper insights, we’ve polished the interface and squashed several bugs to ensure your quiet moments of reflection remain uninterrupted.

Here is what’s new in this release:
