Reflct is a free AI-powered journaling & self-reflection app that guides you through a two-minute evening reflection and then analyzes your entries over time to surface emotional patterns you’d never spot on your own.
Answer three questions, log your mood, and receive an AI-generated acknowledgment of your entry. Over time, the app connects these data points to show you trends you would otherwise miss.
Features (Free Tier)
- Questions span eight categories and rotate daily so the same prompt rarely repeats back-to-back.
- Each session is anchored to exactly three prompts, keeping the habit short and predictable.
- Tap the microphone and speak your reflection out loud. Your words are transcribed immediately in any language.
- After the guided questions, a blank field lets you add anything else on your mind.
- A single tap captures your emotional tone for the day and feeds into the mood heatmap.
- After each reflection, the AI returns a short personal note that responds to what you wrote.
- Visualizes your mood scores over the past 30 days in a color-coded calendar view.
- Tracks your daily reflection streak to reinforce the habit.
- A push notification nudges you to reflect at a time you set.
- Once you have seven entries, the app starts surfacing basic behavioral patterns from your data.
- Export your data to JSON or CSV format.
Use Cases
- Identify stress triggers.
- Track how different wind-down activities impact your sleep quality and morning energy levels.
- Vent frustrations and receive an objective, neutral acknowledgment from the AI.
- Review your monthly mood narrative to see how your emotional resilience changes over several months.
How to Use Reflct
1. Go to reflct.co and sign up with Google, LinkedIn, X, or email.
2. On your first login, set a reminder time that matches your actual evening routine. The app sends a notification at that time each day. Pick a time you’re consistently home and winding down.
3. Each evening, the app presents three guided questions. Read the first prompt and type or speak your response. Tap the microphone icon to use voice entry. Your spoken words are transcribed in real time. After the three prompted responses, the free-write field lets you add anything additional with no structure required.
4. After writing, rate your day on the 1–5 scale. This takes one tap. The number feeds directly into your heatmap.
5. The app generates a short personal note in response to your entry. It reflects the specific content of what you wrote. Read it, then close the app.
7. After 7 entries, check the “Patterns” section for basic behavioral stats. The 30-day mood calendar shows color-coded mood scores across the month.
Pro users: Every Sunday, a weekly AI summary lands in the app covering your emotional threads from the past seven days. After 20 entries, the deeper pattern detection layer activates.

FAQs
Q: Is Reflct actually free?

Q: How does the AI acknowledgment work after each entry?
A: After you finish your three questions and mood log, the app sends your entry to an AI model that reads your specific responses and generates a short personal note in reply.
Q: What’s the difference between the AI acknowledgment and the AI weekly summary?
A: The AI acknowledgment is a free-tier feature that responds to a single entry right after you write it. It’s brief and personal to that session. The AI weekly summary is a Pro feature delivered every Sunday that synthesizes your entries across the full week, identifies emotional threads, and frames the period as a narrative.
Q: Is Reflct suitable for mental health support?
A: Reflct is a journaling and self-reflection tool. It does not provide therapy, diagnosis, or crisis support. The AI features are analytical and pattern-based. If you’re dealing with serious mental health concerns, a licensed therapist or counselor is the right resource.
