Where Reflectly excels
To be fair, Reflectly does some things really well.
Where Daylogue is stronger
For users who want both AI depth and true encryption.
Encrypted storage by default
Your journal content is end-to-end encrypted at rest. We literally cannot read it, even if we wanted to.
Zero staff access to content
Reflectly uses standard cloud storage. Daylogue's architecture makes staff access impossible.
Deeper AI conversation
Our AI asks follow-up questions and builds context over time. Reflectly's AI is more limited to mood-based insights.
Voice journaling
Speak your thoughts naturally with multi-language voice input. Reflectly doesn't offer this.
Better data portability
Full export of your journal data. Reflectly has limited export options.
Sophisticated, adult design
Warm, journal-like aesthetic. Reflectly's playful design isn't for everyone.
