### 5/5 — Give it a shot

*2026-06-12*

I started using Glimpse bc I struggle to take the time to write, and I struggle with what to write. Glimpse lets you get the thoughts out in real time. Transcription needs some work, but you can review before you save. For $40 I recommend to any man struggling to take that first step.

### 2/5 — Glitchy

*2026-01-02*

This app doesn’t always record you and often changes how long it will record you for. Now I’ve got two blank entries and lost a bunch of info.  Also the AI tool that gives insights is shallow and obvious. 

I’m going back to the old school way of journal with a pen and paper, or my audio recorder, because it feels like this app has been dumbing me down. Save your money and your brain!

### 5/5 — Best app for keeping track of thoughts

*2025-12-13*

Use it all the time to quickly get down some thoughts whenever I have them

### 5/5 — I’ve been looking for something like this

*2025-06-14*

Enjoying how simple glimpse is - thanks for helping me keep track of my life :)

### 5/5 — So long lost thoughts

*2025-06-14*

Every new year I pledge to myself that it’ll start journaling. I give it max a month before my fingers cannot possibly keep up with my mind. Glimpse gave me an outlet to let it out without a worry of phrasing things correctly (getting caught in the unnecessary stressors that I’m oh so prone to) and speaking to a neutral source. Good luck to my therapist, my notes are thorough now.

### 5/5 — AI Journaling at its best

*2025-06-06, version 1.0.7*

I’m a huge AI adopter and always found the current models to be subpar for journaling. The UI for Glimpse feels super intuitive and like the perfect blank slate to brain dump. Love it.

### 5/5 — Best journaling app

*2025-05-15*

Best journaling app ever! I’ve always journaled in a physical book but this app has completely replaced it. I love getting prompts to help me reflect in different ways  that I wouldn’t normally think of. Super simple to understand how to use.

### 5/5 — Love the features

*2025-05-14*

Makes journaling easy! I also like how I can customize the way the AI interacts with me. Great app for daily journaling

### 5/5 — Reflective journaling made SO easy

*2025-05-03*

Really makes you creative and  encourages stream of consciousness writing. This captures so much more than a regular journal!

### 5/5 — Easy to start a new habit

*2025-05-01*

Glimpse made it very easy to start daily journaling, I’ve tried a lot in the past to create this habit but have failed to get it to stick. With Glimpse’s daily reminders and easy to use voice enabled to journaling I’ve finally been consistent.
