Overview

Reflection is a journaling app from Journal Better Inc. for people who write for gratitude, personal growth or as a companion to therapy. The sheet row for this entry was named Depth, which is only the address of the AI feature page on the company’s site; the product itself is Reflection, which the company calls a journal that listens and talks back. The App Store listing is Reflection: AI Journal and Coach, last updated in September 2026.

The AI features are listed individually. The AI Coach reads the entry being written and asks a follow-up question drawn from it. Voice Call is a spoken, real-time conversation that is saved to the journal as a transcript. Ask Your Journal searches past entries and answers questions about them in plain language. Scan Written Text turns a photo of handwriting into an entry, and the coach can point out patterns and track mood over time, with an insights page covering sentiment and growth areas. The company’s FAQ says the AI is powered by Google Gemini.

The free tier covers core journaling, daily prompts and access to the AI Coach. On the US pricing page Premium is $8 a month or $5.75 a month billed annually, with a 7-day free trial, and adds 100-plus guided journals and advanced insights. The app is not a medical or therapy service, and the site presents the AI as a writing companion.

Key features

  • AI Coach follow-up questions drawn from the entry
  • Voice Call conversations saved as transcripts

  • Scan Written Text from a photo of handwriting
