About Reflectly
Reflectly was one of the first journaling apps to use artificial intelligence to guide entries. Rather than a blank page, it walks you through a short conversation: how your day was, what influenced your mood, and follow-up questions depending on your answers, then saves the result as a structured entry. Over time it shows mood trends and what tends to come before good and bad days, with daily quotes and reminders to keep the habit going. The tone is upbeat and aimed at people who want a light, positive check-in rather than deep writing. It is made by a small team in Copenhagen. The app is free to try, and most of its guidance, statistics and extra prompts sit behind a premium subscription. It runs on iPhone and Android. Since its early success, newer AI journals with large language models have overtaken it on depth, and the free version is limited enough that most regular users end up subscribing or moving on.
Best for: People who want a short, upbeat guided check-in each day instead of free writing.
