About Reflection.app: Guided Journal
Reflection.app is uniquely designed to make both journaling and regular reflection accessible for all.
With Reflection.app you can begin a meaningful reflection practice with a journal that helps you:
+ Foster Gratitude: Identify and celebrate what brings you joy with Highlights
+ Accept and Grow: Learn from your challenges and setbacks with Lowlights
+ Find Clarity: Let your authentic voice shine with Free Writes
WHY CHOOSE REFLECTION.APP?
Unlike other note taking, journaling, mood-tracking, or diary apps, Reflection.app is based on a tested framework that guides both your journaling and reflection. It is designed to help you build a journaling habit and makes learning from your past simple, easy, and enjoyable.
HOW REFLECTION.APP WORKS
+ Enter your daily Highlights (things you are grateful for), Lowlights (setbacks or challenges), and Free Writes (whatever else is on your mind).
+ Your daily entries then resurface into a Monthly Review.
+ Your Monthly Review will also help populate your Annual Review at the end of the year.
YOUR DATA IS PRIVATE AND SECURE
+ Your account is only accessible by you; you are the sole owner of your data.
+ Your entries are protected in transit with SSL and encrypted at storage.
AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE
+ Access your journal anywhere there is an internet connection using your phone, tablet, or computer.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
+ Inspiring Prompts: Get access to hundreds of free writing prompts to help kick-start your writing journey.
+ Effortless Search: Quickly find any entry with Reflection.app’s powerful search.
+ Data Portability: It’s easy to export your journal as JSON or CSV file at any time.
+ Gentle Notifications: Customize the timing and frequency of reminders to keep you on track with your journaling goals.
+ And more!
All of the core features above are—and always will be—free for you to use. There are no ads in the free version. However, if you love the app, and would like to support its future development, there is a Premium option with additional bonus features available.

User reviews
It's a good app. Shout out to the team for prompt response.
I love this app! It's the second journaling app I've tried and what makes it so special is that the team frequently contacts you to find out how they can improve the service.
so far it's great. of course some functions are limited to full version but I get more than enough to help me. might even purchase full version at some point. 👍👍
I highly recommend this app. I love the interface as a UX designer and software engineer. And even more as a user, the simplicity and yet poweful UI thst lets you do what you need to, but also gets out of your way so that you can just write. I have been journaling more than ever and am grateful for a great product. ...
An easy way to do a journal (my first attemptat one), and very rewarding.
Love the simplicity of this app. It does 1 thing and it does that really really well. I was new to journaling when I started using Reflection. It has really helped me make journaling a more regular habit. Also, thir monthly reviews are a great feature.
