Reflection is a private journaling app for personal reflection and mental wellness, with an AI coach that can ask follow-up questions about entries and help identify patterns. Its library contains more than 100 expert-led guides and programs. Users can dictate entries for transcription or have spoken conversations through Voice Call, with transcripts saved. The app imports journals from Day One or CSV and exports to PDF, JSON or CSV. Its maker says entries are encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.2 or greater, and are not used to train AI models. Users can switch off all AI features while continuing to use the rest of the app. The free plan includes private entries, prompts, reminders and import and export, but limits cross-device syncing and allows one photo per entry. Premium adds unlimited syncing and multiple photos, along with AI search and writing support. Premium costs $5.75 per month when billed annually at $69 per year, or $8.00 per month. A seven-day trial is listed. Reflection runs on Android, iOS, macOS and the web.
