Writing an entry in Reflect: 'The house is quiet. I made chai and sat by the window for a while before opening the laptop. Today I want to go a little slower.'

Inside Reflect

The Journal tab in Reflect: a search box, a calendar and list toggle, and October's entries with their moods.

Reflect's weekly view: each day of the week as a soft colour swatch named by mood, such as calm, anxious and happy.

Frequently asked questions

Is my journal private and secure?

Yes. Your entries are stored with row-level security at the database level, not just app-layer filtering, so other accounts can't reach them. There are no social features, no content sharing, and no analytics on what you write, and your entries are never used to train AI models. Reflect isn't end-to-end encrypted; we commit never to read entry content.

Do I need to write every day?

No, and that's by design. Dandelion Reflect has zero streak counters and no guilt-based engagement. Write when you feel like it. Your journal is a calm space, not another obligation.

What wellness features are included?

10 guided breathing exercises (4-7-8, box breathing, physiological sigh, coherent breathing, nadi shodhana, and more), mood tracking with a weekly mood view, a drawing pad, and an On This Day feature to revisit past reflections.

Is Dandelion Reflect free to use?

Your first 100 entries are free, with mood tracking, all 10 breathing exercises, and search. No credit card, and the free plan never expires. If journaling becomes part of your life, the Unlimited plan (billed monthly or yearly) removes the entry limit and adds handwriting, voice notes, and every guided pack.

What happens after my 100 free entries?

Nothing you wrote goes anywhere. You can still open, read, search, edit and export every entry, and nothing is deleted. Only entries with words in them count toward the 100. Once you reach it, you can't save a new entry, including a photo or drawing page, until you upgrade to Unlimited.

Can I lock Reflect with a PIN?

Yes. Open Me, then Privacy, and turn on App lock. You set a 4 to 6 digit PIN, and if your phone supports it you can unlock with your fingerprint or face. Reflect locks when you leave it, or after 1, 5 or 15 minutes away, so someone who picks up your phone can't take a quick look. It's a screen lock for that device and doesn't encrypt your entries.

Can I use a journal online for free?

Yes. Dandelion Reflect is free to start with no credit card. Your first 100 entries are free, including mood tracking, 10 breathing exercises, drawing canvas, and full-text search. You can also unlock everything free for 7 days, once, with no card. Sign in with a magic link or Google and start writing immediately.

What is the best private online journal?

Look for row-level database security (not just app-layer filtering), no AI training on your entries, and no third-party analytics on your content. Dandelion Reflect meets all three. Day One turns on end-to-end encryption by default for new journals. Avoid apps with AI coaching features that require reading your entries.

When writing isn't enough

Reflect is made by Dandelion Psychotherapy, an online therapy practice for adults across India and internationally. If writing brings up more than you want to hold alone, you can start with a free 15-minute call with a psychotherapist there.
