Clearful is a digital journaling app for personal growth, mindfulness, and mental health. It includes more than 400 guided journals, prompts, and templates, plus a Flow Editor with over 14 formatting options such as headings, lists, checklists, quotes, dividers, and links. Users can make custom templates and organize guided journals into collections. Rediscover brings older entries back into view, while AI-enhanced reviews summarize journal activity and insights. Clearful has apps for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android, and web, and the maker says entries sync across devices. On iOS, Apple's on-device Journaling Suggestions API can add suggested moments to entries. The maker says entries are encrypted on the device, in transit using TLS, and at rest by its cloud computing platform. It also says the app shows no ads and does not sell data. The free plan offers unlimited entries indefinitely; Pro costs 9.99 USD per month, and a 7-day trial is listed.
