Common questions
How is this different from a journaling app?
No blank page, no prompts to answer. One tap logs the moment; an optional voice note adds detail only if you want it to.
Can I use Mendly and Reflectly together?
Yes — Mendly for in-the-moment logging, Reflectly for end-of-day reflective writing, is a reasonable pairing.
Does Mendly use AI to generate prompts?
No. Mendly doesn't prompt you at all — it's a single tap, on your terms, whenever a thought shows up.
What does the free trial include?
Mendly's 7-day trial includes full access to every feature before any charge.
