Most journaling apps give you a blank page and wish you luck. Reflct gives you a mirror. Every evening, answer three guided questions from 120+ rotating prompts. Log your mood in one tap. Then let AI do what humans can't - connect the dots across weeks and months of entries to reveal patterns in your mood, energy, and thoughts you'd never notice alone. Free to start. No credit card required.
Reflct
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Mark, a solo builder.
I built Reflct because I genuinely couldn't stick to journaling. Every app I tried either gave me a blank page (intimidating) or required twenty minutes of deep reflection I didn't have energy for at 10pm. I wanted something that fit into real life, quick, guided, and actually useful over time.
So I built it. Three questions every evening, under two minutes.
The AI isn't gimmicky. It genuinely analyzes your entries over weeks and surfaces patterns you wouldn't notice yourself. Things like "your mood consistently drops mid-week" or "you feel most settled when you protect your evening routine." Stuff that takes a therapist months to observe, surfaced automatically.
What's live today:
Free tier:
120+ guided questions across 8 categories
Mood tracking with a visual heatmap
Voice entries (speak instead of type)
Streak tracking
AI acknowledgment after every reflection (a quiet personal response to what you just shared)
Genuinely useful without ever paying
Pro at $7.99/month adds:
AI weekly summaries every Sunday
Deep pattern detection at 20+ entries
AI monthly mood narrative
Full-text search across all entries
Unlimited history
Question swapping with preference learning
Sign in with Google, LinkedIn, X, or email.
I'd love honest feedback, especially from anyone who has tried journaling and quit. That's exactly who I built this for.
Happy to answer anything 🙏

I like the approach of AI reflecting rather than advising — with data this personal it is the safer path. But I am curious where the line is. When the AI sees mood dropping for several weeks in a row does it just surface that or does it suggest a next step?

@klara_minarikova
Really good question and it's something I thought hard about while building this. Right now Reflct surfaces the pattern and stops there. So if your mood has been dropping for several weeks, it will name that clearly in your weekly summary or pattern detection. Something like "your mood has trended downward over the past three weeks, most noticeably mid-week."
The next step is intentionally left to you, the user. My reasoning: for data this personal, unsolicited advice can feel intrusive or even patronizing. "Your mood is low, here's what to do" assumes the AI knows your context, your life, your reasons. It doesn't. That said, I've had a few people suggest a softer version of this, not prescriptive advice but something like "others in similar patterns have found X helpful." That's a direction I'm genuinely considering.
The line I want to hold: Reflct should always feel like a mirror that occasionally points something out, never a coach telling you what to do.
Still figuring out exactly where that line sits.
Thanks for mentioning this 🙏
How does Reflct’s AI ensure the privacy and security of sensitive journal entries while processing them to identify long-term emotional and behavioral patterns?

@mordrag
For AI features, Reflct uses Anthropic’s API. Only the data needed for each feature is sent (e.g. that week’s entries for your summary, or the last few weeks for patterns), never your full journal. Anthropic doesn’t use your content to train their models, and your entries aren’t read by humans for training or review (per their stated policies). Reflct doesn’t sell or share your data; you can export or delete it anytime from Settings. Full details are in the Privacy Policy.
I treat this as an ongoing priority and I’m open to ideas on how to improve safety and transparency when AI processes user input. If you have suggestions, I’d love to hear them.
Thank you!
Would be cool if you added a feature where after a journal entry, it pulls up a random journal entry you made a while ago to show you how your entry / mood has evolved over time. - This would also match the name "Reflct".
Great idea though! Wishing you the best with this 🍃

@minhajulll This is a genuinely great idea and honestly you're right that it fits the name perfectly. "On this day a year ago you wrote..." is something I've seen done poorly in other apps but the way you're describing it, tied to mood evolution and not just nostalgia, is actually meaningful. Seeing that you were anxious about something that no longer affects you at all is a powerful moment of perspective. Adding this to the roadmap. Thank you for the kind words.
As it analyses patterns and sort of voices them out I think it would be nice to include suggestions and advices of what to do and how to improve your overall mood

@viktorgems Thanks for the idea!
I’ve thought about this a lot. Right now Reflct is built around reflection and acknowledgment rather than advice: the AI reflects back what it sees in your entries: themes, mood shifts, what connected your days, so you can notice patterns yourself. I’ve kept it that way so it feels like "being heard", not like a coach telling you what to do.
I’m still trying to figure out what people who journal actually want: whether most prefer just being heard, or also want some pointers and direction. If it turns out a lot of users expect something like that, I’d seriously consider adding it. At the same time, it feels like a sensitive area, if we lean on the AI for full-on advice, what if it sometimes steers someone the wrong way? So I’m balancing "should I add this?" with "how do I do it in a way that’s helpful and safe?".
Your feedback helps a lot, it’s something I’m actively thinking through. Thank you!
@viktorgems @embico Keeping Reflct in reflect mode makes sense, especially if weekly summaries and pattern detection stay descriptive. The hard product choice is what happens after the same low-mood signal shows up for a few weeks, because that is when people start expecting a next step. Maybe that next step is just an optional, softer suggestion after the pattern is surfaced, with reflection first and any suggestions kept careful and non-prescriptive.
I'm exactly the person you built this for—I've quit journaling many times because of that intimidating blank page. Does the AI 'acknowledgment' after each entry feel like a real conversation, or is it more of a summary?

Journaling apps live or die by habit formation — smart that you built the prompts and mood tracking into the core loop rather than leaving people with a blank page. Congrats on the launch!

@lev_kerzhner I agree. Thank you very much!
