How can we help?
Reflection is an AI-powered journaling app and mental wellness coach designed to help you build a consistent self-reflection habit. Available on iOS, Android, Mac, and Web, our app combines guided prompts and AI insights to make journaling easy and impactful. Whether you need a gratitude journal, a therapy companion, or a tool for personal growth, Reflection adapts to you.
Reflection's primary difference is our AI Coach. While other apps are a blank page, Reflection interacts with you, offering real-time guidance and personalized insights based on your own writing. We combine this with a library of 100+ expert-led guides and a minimal, focused design to help you go deeper, not just write more.
The AI Coach is your private, non-judgmental companion. As you write, it asks insightful questions to help you explore topics more deeply. It can also analyze your entries to help you identify patterns, track your mood over time, and celebrate your progress. Think of it as a guide that's always there to help you connect the dots.
Yes! Reflection has a powerful free version that includes our core journaling features, daily prompts, and access to the AI Coach. For users wanting to go deeper, our Premium plan unlocks our complete library of 100+ guided journals and advanced insights. You can start for free and upgrade anytime.

The science-backed benefits of journaling include reduced anxiety, improved mood, and greater self-awareness. Reflection is a tool for mental wellness that makes this practice easy. Our guided prompts for anxiety, self-love, and processing emotions help you navigate challenges, and many therapists recommend Reflection as a supportive tool for their clients.
Our guided journaling library contains over 100 expert-led programs on a wide range of topics. You can find guides for specific needs like Journaling for ADHD and Couples Journaling, or explore deeper practices like our popular Shadow Work Journaling guide.

Tap "Forgot Password" on the login screen, and we'll send a reset link to your email. If the email doesn't arrive within a few minutes, check your spam or junk folder. If you signed up using Apple or Google, you may need to log in through that provider instead.
Users can delete their account from the app: Settings > Delete Account. This permanently removes all their data and also removes them from the mailing list.
BEFORE giving deletion instructions, always check if the user has an active subscription. If they do, let them know they need to cancel their subscription first, otherwise they will continue to be charged after their account is deleted. Walk them through cancellation first (Settings in the app, or platform-specific links), then deletion.
IMPORTANT: We cannot delete accounts for users from our side. Always direct them to do it themselves in the app. Do not offer to delete it for them. If they truly cannot access the app at all, escalate to Dave.
If the user also asked to be unsubscribed from emails, let them know that deleting their account will take care of that as well.
We believe everyone deserves access to meaningful reflection. We offer a pay-what-you-can scholarship program. Visit https://web.reflection.app/#/upgrade-scholarship or reach out to us at hello@reflection.app. And remember, the free version includes all the core features you need for a fulfilling journaling practice.
On the free plan, you can view and edit all past entries on the device you created them on. However, on another device, you're limited to editing only your 10 most recent entries. Premium removes this limit entirely, so you can edit all your entries from any device.
It's not possible to change the email on an existing account directly. However, you can create a new account with your preferred email, export all your entries from the old account, and import them into the new one.
Reflection is available on iOS, Android, macOS, and the web. You can access the web app at web.reflection.app using your existing account credentials. Your entries sync seamlessly across all devices.

Your data is stored securely with Google Cloud, which maintains ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 1, SOC 2 certifications, and is GDPR compliant. Cloud syncing allows your entries to be accessible across your devices. If you prefer, you can also keep your data stored locally on your device.
