AurePsi helps you build a simple daily habit of self-awareness through quick check-ins, private journaling, and AI-powered reflection. Most of us track productivity, fitness, sleep, and habits. But we rarely track how we are actually doing. AurePsi makes self-reflection simple. In less than a minute, you can check in with yourself, capture how you feel, write what is on your mind, and start noticing patterns over time. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, focused, stressed, calm, motivated, or unsure, AurePsi gives you a quiet space to pause, reflect, and better understand yourself. Key Features Daily Check-Ins Take a quick moment each day to record how you feel, why you feel that way, and what is shaping your day. Mood Tracking Track your emotional state over time so you can notice patterns, shifts, and recurring themes. Private Journaling Write freely in a calm, distraction-free space designed for clarity and self-reflection. Guided Journaling Prompts Use thoughtful prompts when you want help reflecting, processing your thoughts, or understanding your emotions. AI Reflection Insights Receive AI-powered insights that help surface patterns, emotional themes, and recurring thoughts from your check-ins and journal entries. Streaks and Milestones Stay consistent with light progress markers that encourage reflection without pressure. Why AurePsi? A bad day can make it feel like everything has been off for weeks. A good day can make it easy to forget what you have been working through. AurePsi helps you see the bigger picture. By checking in consistently, you can better understand your emotions, recognize patterns, and build a clearer relationship with yourself over time. AurePsi is designed for people who want to feel more aware, more grounded, and more connected to themselves without complicated tracking, overwhelming dashboards, or pressure to be perfect. Use AurePsi to: Track your mood and emotions Build a daily self-reflection habit Journal privately Notice emotional patterns Understand your thoughts over time Reflect on stress, focus, motivation, and personal growth Create more clarity in your daily life AurePsi is not therapy and does not replace professional mental health care. It is a self-reflection and emotional awareness tool designed to help you check in with yourself more consistently. Build awareness. Notice patterns. Understand yourself over time.

79% of couples fight over text. It's called fexting — and it makes everything worse. You type something hurtful at 11 pm. You hit send. You spend the next two hours escalating. By morning, a small misunderstanding has become a full-blown fight. Softly stops that cycle — right inside your keyboard. HOW IT WORKS Softly is a keyboard for iPhone that works in every messaging app. Type what you feel. Tap "Soften." See a kinder version that says the same thing without the blame. • Works in iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram DMs, Slack, Email — everywhere you type • One tap to soften — no copy-pasting, no switching apps, no awkward AI workarounds • Your feelings stay. The blame disappears. • Based on Nonviolent Communication (NVC) — the same framework therapists use WHAT MAKES SOFTLY DIFFERENT Unlike couples apps that require both partners to sign up, Softly works for you alone. It's your personal communication tool — like Grammarly for your relationship. No shared accounts. No partner onboarding. No one needs to know you use it. WHO IT'S FOR • You've been in therapy and know "I feel" statements work — but can't access them at midnight when you're exhausted • You've caught yourself using AI to rewrite messages — but it's awkward, and your partner might find out • You fight over text 3-5 times a month and regret what you send minutes after • You're in a long-distance relationship where 90% of conflict happens in chat BUILT ON SCIENCE Softly uses principles from Nonviolent Communication (Marshall Rosenberg) and research by the Gottman Institute. Studies show text-based conflicts resolve only 35% of the time vs 85% face-to-face. When you can't talk in person, Softly bridges the gap. PRICING Free: 5 message transformations per day. Softly Premium: $9.99/month or $59.99/year — unlimited transformations, full history, priority speed Your words shape your relationship. Make them count.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: AurePsi at free against Softly's freemium. AurePsi also leads on ratings volume (9 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Softly's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. AurePsi sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Softly sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Softly holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AurePsi has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
AurePsi ships an update every 3 weeks, Softly fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
