A private, structured reflection system. Nothing leaves the device unless you bring your own key. Reflection Space turns the questions you choose into patterns you can trust. Build a template from your own prompts, put a 1–5 scale or a yes/no on the answers that matter, and reflect on a schedule that fits your life. Because every answer is to a question you chose, the patterns are about you — not about journaling in general. YOUR QUESTIONS, YOUR STRUCTURE Start from a ready-made template or write your own, question by question. Each template is an ordered set of prompts with a metric on any of them, so a weekly review, an evening check-in, or a morning intention becomes something you can actually compare over time. A RHYTHM THAT FITS YOUR LIFE Give every template its own schedule — daily, certain weekdays, monthly, quarterly, or yearly — with a reminder at the time of day you want it. A weekly review on Sunday evening, a quarterly check-in, an annual review: a calm home screen shows what is next and how your week has been. WRITE IT, SAY IT, OR PICTURE IT Answer one question at a time. Write in a clean editor, add photos straight into the text, or record a voice memo with transcription. Some thoughts don't fit a template, so free writing is always one tap away. PATTERNS YOU CAN TRUST Our Patterns engine correlates the metrics you defined to show what connects. Does a short night show up in your mood the next day? Are you more grateful on weekends? Trends, charts, and word clouds from your writing, explained in plain language and never oversold. CONSISTENCY WITHOUT GUILT Milestones and streaks that meet you on your own schedule. Every saved reflection ends with a quiet summary of what you captured. Encouragement, never pressure. PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE No first-party servers, no accounts, no analytics. Syncs via your personal iCloud. Back up in full and export your data anytime, always whole. Share a reflection or a template only when you decide to — a shared template link carries your questions, never your answers. INSIGHT ON YOUR OWN TERMS Optional summaries can run with on-device Apple Intelligence. Bring your own key: OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Grok — and get one thoughtful follow-up question while you write. Your key stays in your Keychain. We never train models on your entries. REFLECTION SPACE PRO Reflection Space works without an account or payment, with one active template. Pro unlocks unlimited templates and the optional insight features — as a subscription or a one-time lifetime unlock. MADE FOR People who reflect on purpose: weekly and monthly reviewers, structured check-in keepers, and anyone who wants the why behind their numbers. Make space to reflect. Grow a little every day.

Joey MCP Client Lite is an open-source AI chat app that lets you connect to any AI model and extend it with powerful tools and services — both remote and right on your device. Chat with any AI model Bring your own AI in whichever way suits you: ▶ OpenRouter — access hundreds of leading models including GPT, Claude, Gemini, Deepseek and more. Connect via OAuth with configurable spending limits, so you stay in control — no surprise bills. ▶ Any OpenAI-compatible endpoint — point Joey at your own base URL and API key to use OpenAI directly, a self-hosted model, Ollama, or any compatible provider. Connect your tools and services Joey supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard that lets AI models interact with external tools and services. Connect to remote MCP servers over HTTP, giving your conversations access to services like Google Drive, Slack, email, calendars, CRMs, and more. On-device tools Give the AI safe, built-in access to your device — no server required. Ask it to check the time anywhere, get your location, look up contacts, draft a message or email, start a call, or search and create calendar events and reminders. Actions that leave the app (like sending a message or placing a call) always require a tap from you. Image support Send images to vision-capable models directly from your camera, gallery, or clipboard. Great for asking questions about screenshots, documents, and photos.
