About this app

Lightly is everything your mind needs. Lightly helps you release stress, clear your head, and understand what really affects your mood. Spend a few minutes each day writing or speaking, and Lightly will guide you with gentle prompts and turn your reflections into helpful insights.
It’s like having a caring coach in your pocket, helping you make sense of how you feel and building habits that support your mental health.

Feel more in control
Take a few mindful minutes each day to pause and check in with yourself. Lightly helps you release stress and build inner calm—one small step at a time.

Understand what’s really going on inside
Go through a wellbeing plan with personalised insights about you. Just 5 minutes a day for a lasting change. Lightly’s carefully crafted bite-sized lessons and guided prompts help you slow down, notice your emotions, and build deep self-awareness one step at a time.

Unlock personal growth through reflection
Based on what you share, Lightly reveals helpful patterns in your mood and behavior—so you can better understand what helps or harms your wellbeing.

Talk it out. We’ll do the rest
Lightly listens, summarizes, and organizes your voice reflections so you can focus on how you feel, not what to write.

See how far you’ve come
Your weekly reflections show emotional trends and recurring themes, helping you spot growth, triggers, and what truly matters to you.

Was there a recent update?? Suddenly there isn't any way to add to my journal, opening the tab just shows my last entries but there's no way to compose a new one. I thought the Reflecty icon on the home screen was maybe the new way to journal, loved the AI questions to help me delve deeper, but when I accidentally tapped back on my phone, the whole conversation just disappeared! It wasn't even added to my journal at all. Please fix or tell me what's happening! Will update the stars if needed.

I loved this app when I first downloaded it. It was perfect. Love how the AI gives reassuring feedback and capturing what mood you had for the day. I was able to capture my day in writing and photos. I am on a weight loss and health journey so the photos meant a lot to me. That core feature I loved has been removed. Now I am not as interested to use the app. Will be on the hunt for one that allows Journaling and photos.

I originally gave 5 stars, but now I discovered that there's no way to backup or download your entries. If you lose your phone, or the app fails in some way, that's it! All your thoughts, feelings, experiences are gone. Here's what I originally wrote: I've been using this for a week now and I love it. It summarizes my entries well and gives a great picture of where I'm at. The prompt are great and it's really encouraging. I do miss having a pen in my hand though.
