In their own words
Clearful
Clearful is a digital journaling app for personal growth, mindfulness, and mental health. It offers more than 400 guided journals, prompts, and templates, plus a Flow Editor with over 14 formatting options, including headings, lists, checklists, quotes, dividers, and links. Users can make custom templates and organize guided journals into collections. Rediscover brings older entries back into view, and AI-enhanced reviews summarize journal activity and insights. Clearful runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android, and the web, with entries syncing across devices. On iOS, Apple's on-device Journaling Suggestions API can add suggested moments to entries. The maker says entries are encrypted on the device, in transit using TLS, and at rest by its cloud computing platform. Privacy tools include biometric authentication, entry locks, and device access management; the maker also says it does not show ads or sell data. The free plan is available indefinitely with unlimited entries. Clearful Pro costs $9.99 a month, and a 7-day trial is listed.
