How the options compare
- Apple's Journal app: Offers suggestions based on moments from your day, such as photos and places, which you choose to include. Good if you want to write about what you did.
- Prompt lists and books: Free ones are everywhere. You pick, copy and carry them yourself.
Where Reflect Daily fits
