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.

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.

I do like the app. It just sucks that most everything is stuck behind a yearly pay wall. Make it a 1 time payment, heck double the yearly payment for the lifetime payment, and people would still probably pay it if there was a month trial period with everything unlocked so they could see if it helps them.

I'm trying to cancel my subscription because I don't use it much, yet after multiple emails, no response and nothing has been done. Disappointing support and soon I'll have to contact my credit card provider to report it if nothing will be done. App is great, unfortunately the lack of respect and support is unacceptable. Please don't reply again saying to contact support, just reply to the emails and act on them.
