Overcome mental blocks and solve challenges.
truly the best app for journaling, it's simple, effective, and well-organised. aesthetically pleasing. truly helpful for someone who likes journaling.
Better than the best journaling app. The interface keeps it distraction-free and makes me look forward to entering my journal entry. The prompts are thought-provoking and helps me reflect deeply. I use the prompts as conversation starters too.
I love this app. Journaling is really important to my mental health, and using Reflection has really helped me to be more mindful and consistent. It has changed the game for me.
Just want to say this app is so refreshingly Simple but effective and behind the scenes, has the most amazing, giant-hearted people who care more about helping people And not fixated on profiting every chance possible. I am beyond impressed and blessed. Thx guys!
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 use this and recommend it to my clients. In combination with voice dictation it’s the most effective way to get my thoughts down.
Spent the last couple of days checking out a lot of journaling aps. Yours is the first that works easily across interfaces- Iphone, chrome book, and work computer. I am so pleased. I have wanted to journal for a while but it seems like my paper journal is always in the wrong place. Now I will always have my journal within reach. ❤️❤️
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!
Incredible app. They helped me get started on my journaling journey, taking it as a habit. It has guides and daily prompts which can be food for thought to write about when the day ends. I love the app
Reflection app is astonishing.
I absolutely love it. I can't explain the benefits it has to really opening a person up their inner existence.
I’m a believer. I was not great at journaling, but this app has made it so simple and actually enjoyable.
The minimalist experience I was looking for! …the Reflection.app mobile app and desktop app are well designed and get out of your way so that can quickly reflect on your day.
This is a powerful tool to help you truly connect with yourself, and decide what you want and need out of your life!
I like the guided programs a lot, they are a good way to jump in to journaling if you don't know where to start…this app has made it easier to make journaling an enjoyable habit!
I look forward to journaling everyday. This takes personal reflection and gives it contextual meaning. Love it!!!
I started using Reflection recently, thinking journaling would help me to cope with a divorce. I have been surprised at how much it has helped. I do know things about myself, but the knowledge is stored in the junk drawer of my mind, making it hard to find useful insight in the chaos and disorganization. Writing it out is sort of like Marie Kondo-ing my brain, not so much to discard the parts that don’t bring joy, but to order it in such a way that it is comprehensible. There actually are insights in there for the finding, but also insights that present themselves in the process of creating a narrative. Thanks for your help with my journey.
I have been journaling for years but needed to find a new app, i came across this and it was perfect! The design interface is beautiful and seamless, I feel at peace even i go into this app. Amazing features for free, like tags for your entry, a prompted monthly review summary. It has light and dark mode and you can book mark entries. Highly recommend!!
Wonderful opportunity to focus on the good. I love the thoughtful prompts that illicit deep reflection. This app offers a wide variety of topics and provides guides as well. Notifications are available to support consistent practice. Highly recommend.
Used the application for awhile and the experience is overall very pleasant. Simple and easy to use ui, great template settings. Very ideal for some shadow work and as the name suggested, reflection.
I am relatively new to journaling and never know what to write. It’s one of the reasons I’ve never journaled before this or never stuck to it. I like that this app has prompts to give you ideas of what to write about and asks questions. I also like the guides. A topic or theme over several days that gives you a question/prompt to answer every day of the guide. Great way to inspire you to journal and keep up with it daily.
I’ve been using this app for 7 days now and I’m still going strong, enjoying journaling everyday. I tried other journaling apps before they had all the bells and whistle’s but did not make me stick to it. I like the minimalist look and feel of the app, and I specially like the guides, these inspired me and motivated me to keep journaling everyday.
Great journaling app. I've been using it for years, and it really helps me track my mood and recall how I think and feel in different situations. I often read important entries to my psychiatrist that I wouldn't have otherwise remembered. The guided courses are cool too, and I love that there's a different thought-provoking quote every day. Really just a great tool.
After a lot of apps, tries and methods I think I found exactly what I need. 🙌🏻 Not too much stuff everywhere, just clean and simple. Perhaps a french translation could be nice. Bravo !
I love this journal because they provide daily motivational quotes and prompts when I'm not sure what to write about….Their customer service is also really nice and accommodating. they helped me with my Reflection app premium subscription without any hassle. It's overall a great app that I love using on my desktop or mobile. I can get my thoughts out and reduce my use of Twitter…
...and I've tried many. Reflection is a simple tool with all the features I need, but without the extra clutter. If you are looking for a solution that has all the essentials in a beautiful design, look no further. I've been using it daily to jot down my thoughts during the day, and when I feel like it, I dive deeper with the Guides or Journal Prompts. I especially like the intiutive design and insights. I'm very picky about which apps I use - thanks you for creating such a good tool for mindful journaling. 💛
A wonderful app and gentle prompts to motivate you to incorporate quiet reflection and thought each day. Making this action a part of our increasingly over busy days is a healthy step to creating and maintaining a calm, disciplined balance to the overtly noisy demands and pollutants of modern life. A brilliant little practice and app!
This is a wonderful app. It’s helped me enjoy daily and twice daily journaling that is focussed around an idea, an inspirational sentence or something else. I felt an increased closeness to and appreciation for myself as a result. I recommend it.
Love this app! It is really helping me to learn who I am find my way because I'm a lost soul helping me deal with my childhood abuse because I basically ran from it now I'm dealing with it. It helps to teach you to understand a lot of things so I highly recommend the premiums in this app
No bs, no too much add-ons, and the premium is very fairly priced. Good privacy. Thanks a lot. You help my mental health a lot.
What I needed was to be prompted to discuss gratefulness. Sometimes you don't realize how vast the topic is, so you write nothing! This tool overcomes that challenge and compiles your thoughts for reflection
I need this app to remind me where I have been and hope to get where I need to be! Truly thankful.
Journaling apps are a little congested these days. Reflection is different. It has a beautiful UI that makes me WANT to open it up. The layout and the themes are awesome, and clean. I’m personally making it my manifestation journal, and writing down all that is to be. I just downloaded this app today and am very pleased. I plan to purchase the premium to get the full experience, however there is more than enough for free to keep you going. There’s also a section of workspaces and articles to help with personal development. I recommend downloading it and seeing for yourself.
It’s great to have a daily nudge to not only take a minute to reflect, but to reflect on JOY! Even a seemingly small thing - a neighbor’s wave, a child’s giggle, the perfect piece of pie, or that holiday update letter someone took the time to write- makes the day better.
I don’t utilize the app nearly enough, but it’s always been a positive result when I have used it.
Next best thing to a physical Journal and therapist
I love how clutter-free this app is. It's pushy enough to make me want to do the work, but gentle enough that I feel like I'm in control.
I’ve always struggled with maintaining a journaling habit until I discovered Reflection.app. The seamless integration of journal prompts and gratitude exercises has made journaling a joy rather than a chore. It’s like having a personal diary and life coach rolled into one convenient app. Kudos to the team behind this phenomenal tool!
This is the best gratitude journal app ever. It's by far my favorite! I love the prompts and how it inspires me to write again!
The thought of writing with a black canvas was very daunting and, honestly quite weird to me until I realized there was such a thing as "prompted journaling" and found the Reflection.app in my research of a good prompted journal to use. I love that it is available across multiple devices, so I can journal when I have a thought while I'm on the move, or when I'm seated in front of my desktop... or even in bed on my iPad. I also love the prompts that I can choose from. I now feel like I have a good way to self-regulate before I can get my thoughts and feelings out through words and make sense of them... or just let them out. Thank you, Reflection.app!
I haven't been using this app long but I am in love with it. It helps a lot with my anxiety and depression and the fact I love writing. [...] I would give this app a 10 star rating if it was possible.
It’s good to use to get your mind off things.
This app has changed my life. I can write down what I'm thinking and feeling and then look back at it later. to me it is more organized than writing it in a journal that can be thrown away.
Love it. Extremely feasible. I've been using it for almost 2 years now, and it never disappoints me. Love how it's so minimalist yet so efficient.
A charming, interesting and thoughtful reflection space to provoke ones inner being.
I simply love this journal. I've been using this app for about 2 years. It has many added features that I found helpful, e.g., journal prompts by the experts and lovely quotes that are carefully curated to help you go deeper with your reflection. Thank you to the team!!
I am blown away by the quality of this app. The prompts, the interface, everything is perfect.
...This app ticks all the boxes. I can share entries, tag them, sync across devices, and the minimalist style makes it easy to journal. I absolutely love the end of month review. It really helped me assess where I'm at and also see how I overcame obstacles earlier in the month, things I'd already forgotten about. Completely satisfied.
A life changer. I’ve been going through much and this app has helped so much. I no doubt take it as a blessing ❤️
This app makes it very easy to journal digitally! It’s helped me get back the habit of doing this daily!
This is a real gem. It's so easy to use and has everything ready for you to start writing. I started with their free version and am very happy with it. I may go Premium one day. :) Great job, Reflection team.
This is THE perfect journaling app.
I am the pickiest person to have ever walked this planet and need things done to my liking. This app absolutely exceeds my expectations and I recommend it to everyone!
This app is exactly what I was looking for, and I absolutely love all the personal guides and the peaceful design!!! they have truly thought of everything and can’t wait to work on my personal growth!!!! 10/10
Tried so many ways to stay on task and move forward. This app works.
This app helps me so much. I’ve been getting better in my mental health and it just been the greatest!
So good! I love it!
Absolutely love this app, hands down one of the best apps to help with mental health
It has only been one day, but this app is going to allow me to become a better version of myself
Since I started using the app, I couldn’t put it down. I write the journal almost daily except for some rare days when I couldn’t write once. The app is so easy and convenient to use. Highly recommend!! 😊😊
I LOVE the guides. The hardest thing for me is that I need to work through my thoughts or situations but have no idea where to begin and the guides are incredibly helpful. You will not regret this!
I only used this app one day, and I'm in love!! I can't get off this app. I feel like a new person after just one day! I know it's crazy to say, but this app was sent from heaven! I never knew or understood how to journal and could never write it on paper, but this was next-level amazing! ❤️
For years, my role models have mentioned that they write often. It’s one of those things you can do to sort yourself out and clarify your thoughts, beliefs, values, goals, etc. I had put it off for so long but finally decided to give it a shot. This app has tons of prompts and guides that take the pressure away and make it easy. Only 3 days in, but feeling really positive that I can make this a daily habit for the first time in my life.
Great app to help improve yourself and become a better and happier person.
It's helping already on my first day. I feel like I'm talking to someone and it gets it out!! Bravo!!
This came along when I needed something to help me focus on healing from a traumatic work experience. I couldn't afford to go to a therapist, and this has helped me a great deal.
I've done one entry and I can really tell that I'm going to enjoy this. After one journal entry on self-reflection, I can honestly say I actually feel somewhat better about my journey to self-love!
I am delighted because this app has been like having a personal Therapist for the last week or so. I have found it very, very helpful, and it's opened up my thoughts and feelings and challenged me. I've taken huge steps forward in a couple of aspects of my life, and I don't think I could have done it had I not had this app.
Self-reflection is a powerful tool. Reflection.app makes it easy to utilize this tool.
Reflection.app is an excellent journaling tool, especially for individuals looking to cultivate mindfulness and improve their mental well-being. Its thoughtful design, privacy focus, and guided prompts make it a standout among personal journal apps.
It is the best and easiest way to write everything down that is on your mind. You can use the speaker to make it easier, upload pictures, and more! Plus, if you don’t know what to write about they have templates you can use!!
Simple and pretty journaling app! Not bogged down with millions of things or ads, pop ups, whatever. Non-distracting and not straining on the eyes. I've used it since last December (a year now) for nightly reflections, and it's been wonderful! Very reliable and comfortable. Also, their customer service is very good, and they helped to resolve a bug I had been having that made the app a pain to use sometimes, and it has since been fixed! Would definitely recommend this app.
Guys, I’m dead serious. I love this app, and so will you. It's super helpful, and it really helps in ways you would not understand. Please give it a try. You won't won't regret it.
For the first time in a long time, I am hopeful about a journaling app.
So far I have genuinely enjoyed using the Reflection Journal & Prompts app. It has given me the outlet I didn't know I needed. Now I have been able to explain my feelings, my emotions and my side to any story with out any feedback from anyone else. I have enjoyed it very much and would highly recommend it to friends and family!
Amazing app- helped me start my journaling habit and stick with it.
I leave many reviews, but very rarely do I give a 5-star rating as nothing in this life is perfect... but this app comes very close to it. Reflection has guided me through many trials and tribulations over the last 4 years and for that, I am forever indebted. You all are a great group of people who are selfless geniuses to have come up with such an extraordinary app. If I should ever have any suggestions (at this point there are NO complaints), I will humbly pass them on to you all. Thx a million
This app is amazing. It's helped me get to know myself better, helped with my relationships, and gave me a better insight on how to find healing through my past trauma.
Literally such a therapeutic relief!Literally such a therapeutic relief!
I was searching everywhere for a journaling app that fit my needs. This is it!
This app has been extremely helpful in having somewhere to put racing thoughts and express myself in other ways. Great app!
If you need a safe place to collect your thoughts or to write them down, this is the app for you!
I love using this app to journal. I love how easy it is. You can use the app or a desktop, which makes typing easier, or you can just use the voice-to-text feature. I love the AI features. I use Coach Me the most because I want some guidance usually. Even if I don’t follow it, it gets me thinking and writing about more aspects of what is on my mind that day.
This app is perfect for my daily journaling- it's simple and easy to use.
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.
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.
It’s only my first week using AI Journal Daily, and I’m already amazed by how much I’m learning about myself—what truly motivates me and what makes me come alive each day. The prompts are insightful, the reflections are engaging, and the process feels both personal and inspiring. Every entry helps me uncover something new about what really makes me go. Highly recommend to anyone wanting growth, clarity, and a daily boost of purpose!
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!
I love this app. It is making me deal with things in my life that could be causing me stress that I had never thought of or realized
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. The app (both macOS and iOS) is well-made and straightforward. The layout is simple. For folks who simply want to write and reflect, this is perfect. It isn’t overwhelming to use. Missing a day doesn’t feel like a failure.
So I got this app on my iPad a few months ago and fell in love so much so that I now have the app on my iPhone it’s great for you if you have writers block and can’t think of anything it gives you detailed insights based on your own entries which I Love and it also gives you guides of questions for you to answer and it keeps track of how many days you write and it’s great if you just need a place to relax and release pain or problems of any kind so as a writer this helps a lot and if you’re looking for a app that helps you this is the best one in my opinion!! ✨
This app makes journaling easy and fun by encouraging you to write as often as you like, letting you add photos, giving you inspiring prompts when you’re stuck, and even summarizing your entries so you can see your personal growth. At the end of the year, you can turn your journal into a beautiful keepsake book or even use it as the foundation for writing your own. Whether you’re brand new to journaling, a seasoned pro, or someone who’s always worried about privacy, this app is your safe space, your creative spark, and your biggest cheerleader. Invest in yourself and get ready to fall in love with thus awesome way of journaling ❤️
Just got this app and I love the Ai aspect where you can elaborate and go deeper with your prompts. Reminds me of How We Feel
I was unsure on journaling with being stuck what to write but this gives prompts then helps dig deeper the AI even analyses your input to be even more reflective.
This was made just for me I’m in love and if u write or use to write or just starting to write this is the boom.com and I TOTALLY RECOMMEND 100% you will LOVE IT SO MUCH AND REAL BAD…..🫶🏽😍😘🥳.
Sometimes I don’t have the words… but this app helps me find them.
I'm a big "pen and paper" kind of person. And while I will never stop doing daily journaling in my Bullet Journal, I've been wanting to add in some kind of digital voice journal for catching thoughts on the go or on walks. In comes Reflection! The prompts and the AI helping to summarize your thoughts has already captured my interest on day one, and I 100% plan on adding this app to my daily mindfulness practice!
This Journaling App is an excellent value! With thought provoking prompts and questions, my writing has become a river of daily insights. I look forward to the next day’s session. There are many categories or “guides” designed to give fresh context to your writing, and I look forward to exploring more of these. If you want a pleasant user experience, try this app on your phone or desktop and see how writer friendly it is! Kim at customer support provides outstanding service. Best app I’ve used for stimulating deep insightful reflection and creative writing!
I've only signed up 30minutes ago, and I'm already enjoying this app so much! I'm definitely grateful for the option to pay what you can afford, because as a struggling mother with mental health diagnosis, it's hard to find a real good app to help. So glad I found this app! I'll be sure to tell everyone I know!
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.
I'm just beginning my journey with this app and the process of journaling, but I'm hopeful that it will be a positive one. And even after one session working with it, I feel less overwhelmed by the things bothering me, just through the thoughtful prompts and ability to spill my feelings onto the page.
Reflection goes one step beyond journaling by providing rich guides, prompts, and insights that help you learn from your past and chart your course ahead.
In addition to offering the world's largest curated library of guided journaling practices from wellness and personal growth experts, Reflection.app offers weekly, monthly, and annual reviews to help you find peace, foster gratitude, and grow with intention.
Short answer: Yes and yes! Your entries are visible only to you and stored securely with encryption. As long time journal-writers ourselves, we know how important it is that personal entries are private and secure. All users have access to app-level Pin Code or Biometric (ie. FaceID) locking, and beyond that, Premium users can add additional entry-level privacy settings.
Long answer: All user-generated application data is stored in a secure, encrypted database. All sensitive data (like journal entries) are fully encrypted before they are ever stored. This means that in the extremely unlikely chance our database is ever compromised, a hacker would only find encrypted text (aka, a whole bunch of random characters) rather than any sensitive information. Our application is served via TLS (the successor to SSL), which means that all communication between your device and Reflection.app is also secured and encrypted.
We do use third-party software tools for notifications, analytics, and customer support. The data provided to these third parties never includes the contents of your private entries, and are used to provide you with a better user experience. For example, an email that notifies you that you have completed ten entries only tracks the number of entries completed, but has no access to the content of them.
Our goal first and foremost is to build an app that you love to use and provides an delightful, meaningful, and valuable experience. If at any time you are not fully satisfied you can can cancel at any time.
You can try Reflection.app Premium for free for 7-days. If you don’t love it, you can easily cancel with no charges. After 7 days your Premium plan will begin. But at any time if you aren’t finding value in the experience you can cancel your subscription easily through the app.
And if you ever have questions or suggestions our support team is just an email away and typically responds within 24 hours during the work week.
Reflection.app is available with native apps on iOS, Android, and macOS. You can also access Reflection.app via any browser with our Web app.
Windows support is on our roadmap. If you are interested please reach out and we will let you know as soon as it is available.
