Choose a mobile platform to see its current release, beta, or waitlist option. [Android Beta](https://www.moodwell.ai/beta/android) [iOS Waitlist](https://www.moodwell.ai/waitlist/ios) Questions, answered ## Journaling, _explained_. Write in your own words. Here is how to start, when AI is optional, and how to use a reflection thoughtfully. [Explore all FAQs](https://www.moodwell.ai/faq) **What can I write when I do not know where to start?** Begin with one concrete moment: what happened, how it felt, or a question that stayed with you. A few sentences are enough. You can write freely about experiences, decisions, or mood context without choosing a prompt or asking AI to respond. [Build a small reflection habit](https://www.moodwell.ai/use-cases/build-a-reflection-habit) **Do I have to use AI to journal?** No. You can write, save and revisit entries without asking for AI reflection. AI support is a separate choice. **How does AI journal reflection work?** It uses the entry you provide to offer a reflection. The response uses AI credits and can misread your meaning, so treat it as a prompt to consider rather than a conclusion about you.
