Reflectly uses algorithmic questionnaires and sentiment scores to guide your day. Kept provides a quiet, prompt-free page that stores writing locally and writes you a one-page summary on request.
Overview
Reflectly asks structured daily check-in questions and calculates algorithmic happiness scores. Kept avoids mood scoreboards and questionnaires: you open the app to write freely, your words stay encrypted locally, and you get a structured page when you ask for one.
