Reflection

What is Reflection?

Reflection is a comprehensive journaling application designed to help users build meaningful self-reflection practices and improve mental wellness.

Beyond basic journaling, Reflection offers a curated library of over 100 expert-led guides created by therapists and wellness coaches, covering topics from anxiety management and self-love to ADHD journaling and couples reflection.

The platform prioritizes user privacy with military-grade AES-256 encryption for stored entries and TLS 1.2+ encryption for data in transit, while maintaining a minimalist interface designed to remove distractions and foster deeper reflection. A robust free version provides access to core journaling features, daily prompts, and the AI Coach, with Premium unlocking advanced insights, photo support, rich text formatting, custom tags, and deeper analytics.
