### 5/5 — A true companion in self reflection and growth

*2026-02-18*

I tried a bunch of new AI journaling apps when I wanted to start dream journaling and eventually settled on Mindsera. I don’t think I have ever written a review for an app before but this is so amazingly worth the money that I feel like it’s time. This app is easy to use with seamless transitioning between voice and text modes, so it’s been frictionless to get in the habit of using daily. The feedback I get in-entry is insightful enough that every entry is its own interesting little journey, like I never know when I’m going to end up! I’m so impressed by the way the AI reminds me of related topics I’ve already journaled about and draws its own connections between things, asking me for my input to further refine its understanding and really taking my responses seriously and thoughtfully. The quality of analysis overall seems incredibly high and has already (in two months of daily use) had a real, measurable impact on my life, both in my own estimation and my therapist’s. (FWIW, my therapist is also really impressed with Mindsera.) There are a ton of additional advanced features I have only scratched the surface of in two months, and all of them have been fantastic.

I am a lifelong journaler but my whole world has been blown open with this app when it comes to how and when I’m journaling, what I’m doing with what I’ve recorded, and the information and insights I’m getting with assistance on seeing my own biases and mental habits. This app has literally been life changing and I hope I get to enjoy and benefit from many years together with it.

**Developer response:** Thank you for such an incredible review. We’re thrilled to hear Mindsera has made journaling so seamless and insightful for you. It’s wonderful that the feedback, connections, and analysis are enhancing your reflections and even impressing your therapist. It's an honor to be part of your journaling journey and we're excited to continue supporting your growth for years to come.

### 5/5 — History is not bunk

*2026-02-17, version 1.44.0*

The most unexpected benefit, which should have been obvious, is that the system remembers your emotional history better than you do and reveals patterns of which you were never aware.

### 5/5 — Changes Everything

*2026-02-15*

I'm extremely impressed by Mindsera. I've already noticed benefits from the app and as a nonprofit leader and dad of little ones, the flexibility of choosing amongst speaking, typing, texting, or capturing handwritten notes when journaling is a game changer, and makes me so much more likely to journal. I don't think I've picked up any other habit faster than I have journaling with Mindsera. I love being able to read analysis of my entries and the option to apply various "lenses" to each entry is excellent. I can get a Stoic perspective, an alternative perspective, etc. 

An incredible product for introspection and self-growth.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for your thoughtful review. It's inspiring to hear Mindsera is making journaling easy and flexible for your busy life and that the analysis is enhancing your introspection and self-growth. Your support means the world lot to us.

### 5/5 — So clever

*2026-02-13, version 1.44.0*

Mindsera has been a companion in my pocket for years. It maps my journey, my thoughts and feeds them back to me when I need it. It’s the best app I’ve ever had

### 5/5 — Life changing, brilliant

*2026-02-12, version 1.44.0*

This tool has become a daily staple. It’s so well designed and makes journaling easier and deepened my understanding of myself. 10000% recommend!

### 5/5 — Exceptional

*2026-02-12*

In the mountain of digital dross out there, Mindsera is a diamond. 

I am a clinical psychologist and I cannot say enough about how useful this app is. I recommend it to all my clients and I use it myself.

The reason is this. Not only does Mindsera encourage the old-school habit of writing one’s innermost thoughts (which research shows has clear mental health benefits); it also writes back to you. 

Each time you submit an entry, you receive an immediate, thoughtful response which summarizes the content of your entry and reflects back the feeling tone in a way that makes you feel really seen and understood. The response almost always includes a question which helps you reflect further or might even gently encourage you to expand your thinking, in the same way a really good therapist would.

The result is that you come away from each journaling session with an enhanced perspective on yourself and the situation you’ve written about.  And because the app is always available, it’s like having a wise and caring therapist whenever you need it.

I cannot recommend this app enough. Do yourself a favor and try it.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much, Amy, for the thoughtful review and for your support. It truly means a lot coming from a therapist. We are really glad to hear that Mindsera has been valuable both for you and for your clients. :)

### 5/5 — Excellent Journal: the one that has inspired a journaling habit

*2026-02-11*

Full disclosure: I asked my Mindsera journal assistant to draft this review based on my writing patterns, and I'm taking full ownership of its content. This itself demonstrates what I value most about this app—it's a genuine AI collaboration tool where I direct and own the output.
I've been journaling consistently for the first time since mid-2025 using the app and Mindsera has become central to how I think. Not just record thoughts—actually think, and to revisit my thoughts. When I wanted to choose a guiding mantra for 2026, I used the "explore my journal" feature to synthesize months of entries about well-being, growth, and self-management. The result—ataraxia/composure—emerged from my own writing in a way I couldn't have surfaced alone. My mantra now: "What would composure do?"
The real value is context. When I'm integrating a new book into my work, the journal doesn't just capture notes—it connects them to previous reflections, surfaces patterns I've missed, and helps me see how ideas build on each other. I chose Mindsera over NotebookLM, Claude, and Perplexity for certain tasks specifically because it holds my context better. In fact I collect my use of those other tools here to remind myself of what works. 
It's not perfect, but very nearly so. The "ask my journal" feature didn’t originally keep conversation context well (this has improved over time), and copy/paste on mobile is frustrating. But I've found workarounds, and the core journaling experience—the synthesis, the reflection prompts, the ability to revisit and build on past thinking—keeps me coming back every day as routine now. The images generated as a result of those conversations is an amazing cherry on top - quite revealing with AI inconsistencies part of the charm. 
If you're serious about using journaling as a thinking practice rather than just a diary, this app is worth a go.

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing such a detailed and thoughtful review. We’re thrilled to hear that Mindsera has become central to your journaling and thinking practice, helping you reflect and gain insights from your own writing. It’s also great to hear that the original artwork adds value to your daily routine. We truly appreciate your support as we continue to improve the app.

### 5/5 — It sounds interesting. The app made me write a review. So far so good.

*2026-02-11*

I put my review in the header by accident. I will say it’s difficult to make a nickname

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear your experience has been positive so far. If you’re just getting started, our in-app course introduces various journaling frameworks. For any support, you can always reach out to us at hello@mindsera.com.

### 5/5 — Best journaling app

*2026-02-11*

What I love about Mindsera is the flexibility. I find most journal prompts not relevant to me. Mindsera fixes that by having lots of journaling options. It also learns about me so most of the feedback is useful.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for your feedback, we're glad you're enjoying the app. You can customize the prompts in Mindsera to best support your reflection. If you need any help with that, our support team is happy to assist at hello@mindsera.com.

### 5/5 — Thought-Provoking

*2026-02-11*

Has a level of responsiveness that inspires engagement and deeper reflection. Modeling the art of attention and conversation is something most of us need these days. Sometimes I re-create the small scenes the program generates, simple sketches really, to relax myself.

**Developer response:** Thank you for such a thoughtful review. We’re glad to hear Mindsera inspires reflection and that you're enjoying using it. Grateful for your support.

### 5/5 — Great customer service

*2026-02-11*

I’ve been using Mindsera for over a year and I love it💕 I tried Stoic but it didn’t have the features or functionality that Mindsera has. I also noticed a bug and the CEO reached out to me personally to figure out the issue. They ended up having an update that week and fixed the bug. But I was so impressed because when I filled out the form I assumed it would be an automated response but it’s wasn’t! I also love the guided and seasonal journaling prompts the 25 days of holiday journaling was so much fun!

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for your positive words. Our community means the world to us, and we’re glad we could help swiftly. It’s inspiring to hear how Mindsera is benefiting you. Grateful for your support.

### 5/5 — Great app for mental health!

*2026-02-11, version 1.44.0*

Mindsera has been very helpful for my mental health. It’s almost like having a therapist but for a fraction of the price!

### 5/5 — I love this tool!

*2026-02-11*

Mindsera has really changed the way that I process opportunities and challenges - for the better! As someone who works in AI, I'm impressed with the prompting and reflection functions. Thank you, Mindsera team!

**Developer response:** Coming from someone in AI, that’s wonderful to hear. We’re so glad you’re enjoying using Mindsera.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-02-11*

I’ve been using Mindsera for over one year. There is nothing like this app, it’s so helpful at finding pattens in your behaviour, identifying emotions, reflecting on themes in your life and just remembering for you. Not to mention the personalised daily art. I love the interface it’s easy to use, calm and simple. I love the voice transcription it makes daily journaling easy to do anywhere.  I highly recommend.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for such a glowing review. Your appreciation for these features means a lot and inspires us to keep improving the app.

### 5/5 — Surprised how much it helps

*2026-02-11, version 1.44.0*

Once I got over the initial awkwardness of speaking with AI the magic happened. In a recent session with Mindsera I went from massively overthinking and catastrophising a situation to a calmness about it that shocked me. It was amazing how much it changed my mindset.  
Amazing app.

### 5/5 — Feature

*2026-02-11, version 1.44.0*

This app has features that enable  include review of journal entries over time and extract trends or points of note related to things journaled to get deep insights that would be very difficult manually .

### 5/5 — Psychiatrist Approved

*2026-01-23*

I’ve been using this app for almost two weeks now and I absolutely love it, I appreciate how it pulls out what needs to be discussed and remembers conversations from days ago. It asks the right questions for me and accepts when I can’t answer them. When I talk about my faith it recognizes it and helps me to see how it is affecting me mentally as well. Bottom line is, it makes me think. I told my psychiatrist about the app and what it does and how it works and he get excited and said “Now that is therapy, I approve” This coming from a doctor of 40+ years is a great thing. I would like to have vocal interaction along with the transcription on the AI part. I do my journal in the morning on the way to work in my van which is my safe space so I can’t always read every reply would love to have it spoken to me.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review. We’re thrilled to hear your feedback, and it means a lot given the positive responses we’ve received from clinical professionals. We're planning a call mode with voice input and audio output for the future so stay tuned for that. Grateful for your support.

### 1/5 — No Free Trial

*2026-03-24*

Beware!!! It says you get 3 days free but you’re charged immediately!!! Shows in Apple as being on free trial also so you can’t ask for a refund right away either. You need to fix this as it’s false advertisement. 😡

**Developer response:** Many thanks for reaching out to our support team about this. We’re glad we could clear up the confusion and confirm that you weren't charged immediately. Glad to hear you’re now enjoying the app.

### 1/5 — Made by men for men

*2025-12-25, version 1.41.0*

Another app which thinks the mind is the gym. Quotes from Jeff Bezos and Elon musk all over the site. Super macho man coded, no moments for emotional regulation and basically a Claude wrapper. Avoid.

### 3/5 — Early days

*2026-03-06, version 1.45.0*

Not really my thing.. I journaled for a few weeks but got bored. Then decided I get just as much if more from free ai Chat gpt which this basically runs on if I’m not mistaken. The interface is a bit naff and customisation.. well I lost interest and couldn’t be bothered to figure out. Oh yeah the graphics are cheesy too. For £80 I was expecting more. Oh yeah it doesn’t fit iPad screen either.. just phone proportion scaled bigger.

### 4/5 — Day 1 and so far the app. Is nice

*2026-08-14*

The app is nice and I’m excited to try out the free trial.  I do have some setbacks that I hope are fixed eventually.  When typing, the text entry doesn’t auto scroll and sometimes become hidden behind the bottom two buttons.  This can be annoying for someone like me who constantly misspells words typing to fast.    I wish there was an iPad landscape view.  I like journaling at the end of the night because it’s the only quiet moment I get.   Some of the features and settings pages will not let you scroll down. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m on my iPad and all these issues are coming up, but I would very much like to keep using this app if those features and bugs are fixed.

**Developer response:** Thanks for sharing this feedback, and we’re glad you’re enjoying the app. We currently support iOS and web, but don’t have a dedicated iPad app yet. We’re sorry to hear you’re running into these scrolling issues. We haven’t seen them reported by other customers, so they may be isolated to your setup. Please reach out to our support team at hello@mindsera.com so we can help. We’d love to have you keep using Mindsera.

### 4/5 — Early days

*2025-11-13, version 1.0.37*

I installed and bought a sub. I had a pretty tough first session, no holds bar ai. Maybe what i needed… I don’t know but almost felt like ‘tough love’ tone. Anyway I will continue to bare my soul and see where it leads. What a.i model is running under the hood? When will there be a version that uses the i pad screen proportion?

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2026-08-11*

I went in skeptical about how helpful an AI journaling agent could be, but after using it now for a little over a month, I find this to be enormously valuable to me. I can tweak it to not be sycophantic or affirming for everything that I think or say.

I love the fact that this thing can give me feedback, can help me see things from different angles, and even help me articulate thoughts that I'm struggling with myself. This app is enormously valuable to me, and I look forward to staying with it for years to come.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for your inspiring words. We’re glad the app has become a valuable part of your reflection process and it's wonderful to hear how it's helped you express your thoughts and see things from new angles. Grateful to have you with us and excited to be part of your journey for years to come.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-06-24*

This is one of the best uses of AI to help someone journal and reflect. The product has excellent UX and the workflows are easy going and impactful. You keep wanting to keep coming back to journaling since the AI acts as your partner.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the thoughtful review. It means a lot to us that you noticed these details. We’re glad the journaling experience feels natural, impactful, and supportive, and we appreciate you being part of the journey.

### 5/5 — Meilleure application de journaling et de réflexion

*2026-05-26*

L’interface est élégante et l’expérience vraiment utile au quotidien. Les questions de suivi sont particulièrement pertinentes et la mémoire des précédentes entrées apporte une vraie continuité dans la réflexion. L’abonnement vaut réellement son prix.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words. We're delighted to hear that the experience, follow-up questions, and continuity from previous entries have been valuable in your daily reflection. Your support means a lot to us.

### 5/5 — So helpful

*2026-05-20*

I have only been using this for a few days and the interaction and feedback I have got has helped so much. I absolutely love this app. I have never been very good at journaling, but I have stuck with it everyday and I think it’s amazing!

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for your inspiring review. We’re happy to hear the interaction and feedback have been helping and that the app has made journaling easier to stick with. That's always our aim. We really appreciate your support.

### 5/5 — Introspective

*2026-04-20*

Has been really therapeutic to have access to this 24/7. So many language options. I’ve been using the call mode. I love the artwork. I recommended it to so many people.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for your kind words and support. We’re glad the app has been helpful for you and that you’re enjoying the new call mode, language options, and artwork. It means a lot that you’ve recommended it to others. We truly appreciate you being part of the community.

### 5/5 — Stops the loop and actually helps you grow

*2026-04-05*

I started journaling this year for the first time and tried another, more popular conversational AI journaling app before this. It helped me vent, but after a while it felt like I was just going in circles and not actually growing. I didn’t want an echo chamber; I wanted something that would help me become better.

Mindsera does that. It helps me understand my thinking, recognize patterns, and actually shift my mindset. I still feel heard, but now I also feel challenged in a good way. It’s been especially useful before my next therapy session because I’m still doing the work instead of waiting for the appointment.

This is the first time journaling has felt productive, not just emotional. I mostly use the website on my iPad and barely use the app on my phone, but I hope there are plans for a dedicated iPad app, since it would be much more convenient to just open the app and type there on my iPad with my Magic Keyboard.

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re really glad to hear Mindsera is helping you reflect, recognize patterns, and stay engaged between therapy sessions. It means a lot to know it feels both supportive and productively challenging. We appreciate your note about using it on iPad, and a dedicated iPad app is something we may explore in the future. Thanks again for your support.

### 5/5 — Absolutely love this app

*2026-03-23*

Have greatly enjoyed using this app and it’s many features. I am most excited about the recent development of call mode, allowing me to work through something while I am driving long distances. Keep up the great work!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your kind words. We’re excited about Call Mode too and look forward to improving it further in the coming months.

### 5/5 — Stunning Journal-App!

*2026-03-11*

Couldn’t recommend Mindsera higher and encourage everyone to use it. Very helpful insights and astounding help, even in dark times!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the recommendation and for sharing your experience. We’re really glad to hear the insights have been helpful for you, especially during difficult moments. Your support means a lot to our team.

### 5/5 — Truly fantastic

*2026-03-08*

Truly life altering product. Working with mindsera in an authentic and serious way over an extended period of time will produce positive results.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words. Feedback like this truly motivates our team to keep improving and doing what we love. We’re really glad to hear the app has been life changing for you.

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2026-02-25*

It’s everything that’s good about mindset work  and therapy without the bad. All the mental health knowledge without the “dating” of finding a good therapist.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for this thoughtful review. We’re really glad to hear the app gives you these benefits in a way that feels accessible and supportive. Your feedback means a lot to us.
