Make daily reflection a moment you look forward to. Start with a thoughtful question, or write freely about a thought, a memory, or the seed of a story. Echo gives your words a place to begin. YOUR WORDS. YOUR PACE. Choose At my pace to edit freely and submit when you’re ready. Prefer a challenge? Flow keeps the original forward-only writing experience: no backspace, with automatic submission after a ten-second pause once you reach 50 trimmed characters. Shorter drafts pause so you can continue. Save untimed writing for later and return to today’s draft. KEEP YOUR VOICE See your original words first. Explore AI polish and translation when available, or make your own edits. Choose exactly which version to edit or share. MAKE FLOW YOUR OWN Optional personal Flow records estimate typing accuracy and writing pace in your own reflections. Try to beat your best, with records kept by language and scoring rules. These estimates have no effect on daily streaks. NOTICE YOUR PATTERNS Echo Pro offers personality insights drawn from your reflections and more ways to guide your questions. A little writing can reveal what keeps showing up in your life. Available on iPhone and iPad, with 23 app languages.
