Description

A minimal private journal with powerful prompts and guides to help you grow into your best self. Start today!

Journaling has been shown to improve the quality of your life — from your mood and mental health, to your emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and cognition. Writing turns your thoughts, emotions, and experiences into words. And through reflection, you can find meaning, clarity, gratitude, and ultimately grow into your best self.

// “The best app for journaling...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, and when I feel like it, I dive deeper with the Guides or Journal Prompts. I especially like the intuitive design and insights. I'm very picky about which apps I use - thank you for creating such a good tool for mindful journaling.” - Nicolina //

Whether new to the practice, or a seasoned ‘journaler’, Reflection.app is designed to meet you where you are. From our minimalist editor to our Guided practices, Reflection.app has all the features you need, without the clutter.

Flexible enough to be your private diary but not confining like other prompted journals limited to a specific theme like gratitude, CBT, shadow work, mindfulness, morning pages, or ADHD only. Through our expansive Guide Library, Reflection.app embraces and supports all journaling modalities so it can grow with you.

Tay_2023 ,

Just started using this app

I really like this app. I believe I downloaded it a few days ago. I came across it in my apps and decided to open it. I really like how thought provoking it is, I really like the different guides that are available. I find the information really interesting and I got that motivating, engaging, passionate feeling that I get whilst learning something new. I download alot of apps in the hopes that it will allow me to maybe journal, or have features that I will find useful and in the end I just end up deleting them. I'm glad I've found this app. The only thing I can think of that could improve the app, is if there were more guides. I don't know if the subcription version has more, but it would be nice to have more added every so often so there are new ones to do.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the great review Tay! So happy to hear Reflection.app seems to be the journaling app sticking for you! We will absolutely be introducing more guides and also have our Meet Your Guide series on our website and social channels which will be integrated into the app soon! Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn to get access to those now or you can find them on our website at https://www.reflection.app/category/guided-journaling-journeys — hopefully these additional options help turn your 4 stars into 5! 🤩

Powerful journaling app

This is a sleek, streamlined journaling app. Underneath it’s elegant minimalist UI is a powerful way to focus on what matters: writing and then reflection. I am astonished at how good it is at this! For me, it provides a safe space to write without distraction. It feels private and secure and is surprisingly enjoyable to use, almost like a form of meditation. I also draw comics about my life - I now combine this with my journaling. The ability to create tags and add photos makes this a real joy to use. There’s also plenty of free prompts to use if you are feeling you need some inspiration. I highly recommend their 14 day “Reflect and Reset” as a starting point. Customer support is excellent and staff have been very friendly and helpful. Everyone interested in a quality journaling app should check this out.

Developer Response ,

It means the world to us that you've found it to be a safe, enjoyable space to write and even combine with your awesome comics (which we love!). Your kind words about the design, features, and prompts are so appreciated. Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback!

Would highly recommend

I’ve not tried journaling before but I listened to a podcast recently on well being & it was recommended as a strategy.
I’ve been using the app every day for around 3 weeks now & I’m finding the process illuminating.
The app is very well designed. The layout is very clear and it’s easy to use. I completed the 14 day ‘reflect & reset guided journey’ which included very interesting & thought provoking prompts to write about.
You can categorise your journal entries which helps to spot patterns, eg in your mood. The monthly review enables further reflection on potential thought patterns which can be insightful.
All in all, an excellent app!

Developer Response ,

So wonderful to hear this! 🙌 Thank you for sharing your experience and congratulations on making the habit stick - not easy to do. Honoured to know Reflection.app played even a small role in that! 🙏
We've been dreaming up the details of this app for years. We're so glad to be able to share it with you and that it's been such a useful tool in your self-discovery toolkit 😁
