Reflection Partner vs Council

Reflection that stays true to your experience. Write or speak about what’s on your mind. Reflection Partner helps you make sense of your experience, hear how its different parts relate, and find words that feel accurate. A small detail can change what an experience means to you. A response can sound almost right and still miss something. Reflection Partner is designed to attend to what you bring, including the qualifications, mixed feelings, and parts that are easy to overlook. That attention can make room for something new. Recognizing an experience more clearly can open the way to a new understanding, possibility, or next step. There is no need to force a conclusion for reflection to be useful. DESIGNED TO CONTRIBUTE WITHOUT TAKING OVER The app listens for the invitation in your message. It can help untangle an experience, explore what it is like to live through it, offer a bounded reading, or help put something into words. When you ask simply to be heard, it should let listening be enough. YOUR EXPERIENCE REMAINS YOURS Reflection Partner can contribute without deciding what your experience means, what it proves about you, or what you should do. If a response misses something, your corrections come first. WAYS TO BEGIN If something is present but you do not know how to start, optional starting points can help you find an entry. KEPT Save the parts of a response worth returning to and organize them into threads. EARLIER CONTEXT Reflection Partner can use relevant earlier conversations when they help with what you are saying now. The present message and your corrections come first. TYPE OR SPEAK. READ OR LISTEN. Sometimes it’s easier to think out loud. Speak your reflection or type it, then read the response or hear it aloud. SEE THE THREADS OR SEE THE STORY See the threads separates and names what you bring, so you can see what stands out. New and reopened conversations start here. See the story (beta) explores each detail of your message, looking for the relationships between the parts and their relationship to human experience. Responses can take up to 3 minutes. Still a work-in-progress, so expect varied results. You can leave the app and choose to be notified when a response is ready. Reflection Partner uses AI to form its responses. AI can get things wrong. The app is a reflective tool, not a therapist, diagnostic service, crisis service, companion, or substitute for human relationships. The interface is in English. Responses adapt to the language you use. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Ten quiet voices to help you think — not tell you what to do. Council is a private journal where ten archetypal voices read what you wrote and reflect it back, from angles you might not reach alone. They don't advise. They don't remember. Your writing stays on your phone. Most journaling apps add features — streaks, prompts, an assistant nudging you toward action. Council subtracts them. You write when you want, and you summon the voices when you want. The rest of the time, they stay quiet. THE TEN VOICES The Critic, the Dreamer, the Worrier, the Caretaker, the Rebel, the Pleaser, the Protector, the Skeptic, the Joker, and the Sage — drawn from archetypes that recur across psychology, narrative, and Internal Family Systems work. Each reads only the single entry you bring to the table. None of them see your other entries, the other voices' replies, or anything about you as a person. No profile, no memory, no learning. HOW IT WORKS • Write or speak what's on your mind. One screen, no prompts, no scoring. Voice memos transcribe on your device. • Pick the voices you want to hear from — three on Free, up to six on Pro. • Read the replies back, or tap to hear any voice read them aloud. The audio is made on your phone. • Return to any session whenever you like. The reflections are generated by AI. When you consult the council, only that single entry is sent — securely — to an AI service to generate the replies, then discarded. Your writing is never used to train any model, and nothing else ever leaves your phone. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No cloud sync. Your entries live on the device, encrypted — there's nothing on a server with your name on it. Your writing is not a product; nobody is reading over your shoulder, and nothing you write is ever sold or turned into an ad. A JOURNAL, NOT A THERAPIST Council reflects your own words back through ten voices. It can ask good questions, but it can't diagnose, treat, or replace a trained human. If something feels acutely heavy, please reach out to a person — the in-app safety resources are a place to start. Council is a tool for thinking with yourself; therapy is a relationship with someone trained to help. They're complementary, not interchangeable. FREE & PRO Journaling is always free and unlimited.
