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.

Respect Privacy
Your reflections are private. Your journal entries, voice recordings, and images are stored securely in private cloud storage. We use industry-standard encryption to protect your data both during transfer and in storage. You can delete your data anytime.

Your emotional wellbeing starts with one small reflection.

Theoretically, the app is great and I would love to use it (paid version). BUT: Nowhere does it say where the data goes or with whom it is shared. But the data I enter is very personal – I simply need to know what happens to it. AND: I can't find any way to export my texts (i.e., the daily journal entries). You can't even select and copy the text. Since those are MY texts, this is a deal-breaker for me. That's why I canceled my purchase. It's a pity, I would have really liked to use the app.

I have been using this app for 3 days now and honestly (hehe), I am really impressed. It helps me sort out my thoughts when my brain's a total mess. The AI gives daily prompts that really help me reflect without pressure. The mood tracker is amazing - it automatically tracks your mood based on your entries, so you can see patterns and hopefully improvements over time. Super helpful for my anxiety and getting clarity when your mind feels messy. Feels like a safe space. Highly recommend!

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.
