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! ❤️
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!
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!! 😊😊
It has only been one day, but this app is going to allow me to become a better version of myself
Absolutely love this app, hands down one of the best apps to help with mental health
So good! I love it!
This app helps me so much. I’ve been getting better in my mental health and it just been the greatest!
Tried so many ways to stay on task and move forward. This app works.
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
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 is THE perfect journaling app.
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 app makes it very easy to journal digitally! It’s helped me get back the habit of doing this daily!
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 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.
I am blown away by the quality of this app. The prompts, the interface, everything is perfect.
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!!
A charming, interesting and thoughtful reflection space to provoke ones inner being.
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.
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.
It’s good to use to get your mind off things.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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 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.
Next best thing to a physical Journal and therapist
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.
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.
I need this app to remind me where I have been and hope to get where I need to be! Truly thankful.
truly the best app for journaling, it's simple, effective, and well-organised. aesthetically pleasing. truly helpful for someone who likes journaling.
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
As a mental health therapist I’m always looking for new tools to help clients process their experience. I try each tool myself before recommending to anyone and this is by far my favorite so far. I like that it is web based as well. It’s easy to use and has fantastic prompts to help folks begin the writing process. I highly recommend this app for anyone looking to use writing as a tool to reflect or process their thoughts and experiences. Truly well done.
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
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!
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. ❤️❤️
...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. 💛
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.
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…
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!
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 look forward to journaling everyday. This takes personal reflection and gives it contextual meaning. Love it!!!
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.
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.
This is a powerful tool to help you truly connect with yourself, and decide what you want and need out of your life!
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 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.
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 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!
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.
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!!
I’m a believer. I was not great at journaling, but this app has made it so simple and actually enjoyable.
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 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.
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.
