About this app
Reflection is a journal that writes back: a private diary for self-reflection, mental health and personal growth.
Write or speak about your day, and Reflection's AI Coach replies right inside your entry with a question that helps you go a layer deeper. Over time your journal becomes something you can ask: what has been weighing on you, what brings you joy, how your mood has shifted since spring.
NEW IN REFLECTION 7
A complete redesign. The journal is calmer and more spacious, with nine color themes, a rebuilt Coach, one + button for everything you add to an entry, and Focus Mode for longer sessions. It's faster, too.
A COACH IN EVERY ENTRY
• Instant Chat: press Enter and the Coach replies on the next line.
• Go Deeper, Get Perspective, Coach Me and Action Items when you want more.
• Voice Call (Premium): talk it through out loud. When you hang up, the conversation is written into your entry.
ASK YOUR JOURNAL ANYTHING
Search by meaning, not only by keyword. Ask "What have I been grateful for lately?" and get an answer drawn from your own entries, with the dates you wrote them.
WRITE, SPEAK OR SCAN
• Voice journaling with accurate transcription
• Scan a handwritten page into text
• Add photos, and catch up on missed days from your photo library
• Templates and daily journal prompts for when you don't know where to start
SEE HOW YOU'RE GROWING
Track your mood and emotions over time, keep a writing streak, and get weekly, monthly and annual reviews that show where your head has been.
100+ GUIDED JOURNALS AND PROMPTS
Gratitude, anxiety, self-care, shadow work, relationships, work and more, including multi-day programs like the 14-day Reflect & Reset. A fresh prompt is waiting on your Today page each morning.

I like this app alot but there are 2 things i wish they would do is make the voice coach only have a maximum of 15-20 minutes. I love the voice of the voice coach too. Brilliant app. The second thing i wish is that the guides were audio guides or that the experts had a 2 minute meditation practice to reflect abit like insight timer. Other than those two points reflection is a brilliant app. I have heard Rosebud also has a voice coach but I prefer yours just make it longer in its time frame pls

thanks rachel, both of these are written up and with the team now, the longer voice coach sessions and the audio guides. i can't promise a timeline yet but they're on the list. so glad the coach's voice is landing for you 🙏

Capturing my reflections and seeing the AI patterns and themes is a huge upgrade from just journaling. What could be better? It has huge potential in the corporate sphere where a World Economic Forum survey sees self-awareness as one of the Top 5 skills needed but with only 1 in 10 possessing it. How to get it? A reflection practice of course. That is the best springboard for the experimentation companies need. This app is missing the corporate angle. I have ideas if anyone wants to talk 🤘

I have just started using the App and found it engaging. It has a number of features which I will explore as time goes on. At the moment it has aleady started me thinking about my life and how it inflences my relationships with my close family and friends
