We're excited to announce the release of Reflection v6, our most thoughtful update yet. This release focuses on making your journaling experience more intuitive, responsive, and delightful – helping you capture your thoughts with less friction and more joy.
A More Convenient AI Companion
At the heart of v6 is our reimagined AI journaling companion. We've completely redesigned how you interact with AI within entries, making it faster and easier to have a two way interaction and go deeper in your reflection practice.
The new interface makes asking questions more intuitive, with quick AI actions that help you reflect more deeply without breaking your writing flow. Whether you need help processing a difficult emotion, finding patterns in your thinking, or simply want a thoughtful prompt, your AI companion is now more accessible than ever.
Search That Understands Questions, Not Just Keywords
We've transformed search from a simple keyword tool into a powerful way to explore your journal. The completely redesigned search experience now understands natural questions like "When did I last feel overwhelmed at work?" or "What goals did I set in January?"
Even better, you can now create new entries directly from search insights or copy them to reference elsewhere. This makes it easier to connect past reflections with current thoughts – one of the most valuable aspects of a consistent journaling practice.
Smoother Entry Creation
Starting a new entry is now more intuitive with our new quick actions. Add photos, find inspiration, or use templates with just a tap. This streamlined approach not only makes journaling easier today but also lays the groundwork for exciting features like voice journaling coming soon.
Refined Design Language
Throughout the app, we've refreshed our visual language with consistent iconography and subtle design improvements. The updated editor toolbar, splash screen, and welcome experience all contribute to a more cohesive feel.
We've also reimagined how you interact with dates and tags, moving these to spacious bottom sheets that give you more room to select exactly what you need. The calendar, tag selection, and lookback sections all benefit from these thoughtful refinements.
Delightful Details
Sometimes it's the small things that make an experience special. We've added subtle haptic feedback when receiving AI responses, creating a more connected feeling between you and your journal. We've also fixed issues with shareable links and improved hover states for desktop users.
Behind the Scenes
While not immediately visible, we've made significant backend improvements that allow us to refine AI responses more quickly. This means the quality of AI-assisted journaling will continue to improve at a faster pace, with each interaction becoming more helpful for your reflection practice.
A Fresh Digital Home
Alongside our app update, and as you may have already noticed on this blog post, we've completely redesigned the Reflection website to better showcase our refreshed experience. The new site reflects the same design principles that guided our v6 update: clarity, intuition, and delightful details.
Our updated digital home makes it easier for new users to understand the benefits of journaling with Reflection, while giving existing users a clearer path to resources and support. We invite you to explore reflection.app to see how we've brought the spirit of v6 to every touchpoint of the Reflection experience.
