Steep vs Reflectly: which daily reflection app fits?

We make Steep. The better fit depends on what someone wants to make room for each day.

The daily practice

Steep offers one thought a day. Steep saves it and Pour lets it go. There are no streaks. A kept thought can lead into Pull the thread, a Premium feature with up to three reflections saved as they are revealed.

Reflectly may suit someone starting a mood diary who would rather answer questions than find a first sentence. It combines daily entries and personalised AI-guided prompts with morning quotes and evening insights. It also uses streaks. As of November 2026 · Reflectly · App Store

Steep is for iPhone, with iOS 18.0 or later. There is no account and we don’t track how you use the app. Your archive syncs privately through iCloud.
