Reflection is the best investment we can make to live a better day. It doesn’t take filling up entire pages in a journal to find insights. Short notes about the moments of life add up to a big picture of where we are and help us see more clearly where we want to go. Hindsight is designed to help forge a new habit of reflection in the day-to-day. Customizable to your priorities but dead-simple so nothing bogs you down. Create categories for anything you want to keep track of and set reminders to help keep yourself consistent. Slowing down for a few seconds to think about the moment and jot down a note can bring a surprising boost of intentionality to our lives, but occasionally read the notes from your past self to get the best perspective. Once you have a Hindsight habit, use that newfound perspective to choose the next habit you want to practice—and you can add a new category for it to keep track of your progress. Customizable color schemes for each category and Dark Mode support make this habit easy on the eyes.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hindsight at none against Funnel's 4. Hindsight also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). Funnel's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (43 vs 5). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Hindsight holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Funnel has 43 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Hindsight ships an update every 15 months, Funnel every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
