  1. 5/5A real treasure of an app that brings me peace every day

    I absolutely love Clearful. As a developer myself I can tell they put a lot of time and care into creating a simple yet well thought out experience. I love the variety of prompts and templates to choose from. I can write for a few seconds or much longer depending on how I’m feeling that day. The features of the app are great- easy to use, useful, but not overwhelming or distracting. The fact that they offer quite a bit of free content is a breath of fresh air compared to the state of many other in-app purchases today. I will definitely consider trying the paid version as I continue to go through the free prompts. Thank you, Clearful for putting together an app that has helped me a lot through the last couple of tough months in life.

  2. 5/5The Best. Period! Full stop!

    Clearful is a phenomenal multi-functional application for journaling, archiving the traces of one’s past, promoting creative thought experiments, self-reflection, and healthy daily habits. The interface is user-friendly and turns your phone into a tool for use rather than a cluttered distraction from one’s life. The templates provided and continuing to be added are well thought-out, diverse, and offer something for potentially anyone. Clearful provides a multiplicity of templates and guides to the user and allows the user to craft their own experience each day by journaling about a problem you are currently facing, the events planned for your day, the goals you want to accomplish, archiving one’s significant memories, sleep patterns, relationships, and the list goes on and on. I love the app and recommend it highly.

  3. 5/5Finally a habit

    There is something about journaling that makes you feel validated. No one can understand you better than yourself. I highly recommend this app. The free version works just as good as the pro version. In my opinion, I think the paid version is just to change the color template of the entries 🤷‍♀️ I love this app so much that I took the time to leave a review & paid for it just to show support and in hope people will start journaling themselves instead of turning to social media like they are going to make a difference in other people lives. The only way to make a difference is to start with yourself ✌️

  4. 5/5Clear and Concise

    I’ve been looking for a good journaling app, at least until Apple brings their app to Mac. And Clearful seems to be just perfect for my wishes. The app itself is very clear, as you might expect with that name. I’m able to get in and do my journaling without a lot of fuss. It’s simple to use, and I appreciate the privacy options greatly. I have no complaints so far, it meets all my needs and I recommend giving it a try. I appreciate all the templates and different kinds of entries I can make as well. When the trial was over, I was all too happy to become an annual subscriber.

  5. 5/5I love this app so far

    I have tried a few journaling apps and Clearful has been my favorite so far. It’s so simple and easy to use. Other apps don’t feel as intuitive to use. I love the prompts, and different options to help me provide a structure if I need it so that I feel motivated to journal each day. Sometimes it’s hard to process through things so the prompts really help ask me the right questions and give me a starting point to begin my entry for the day. Other days I love to just open a blank journal entry and free write my thoughts. Amazing app, I would highly recommend
