This free (and ad-free) journaling app uses AI to weave together your daily thoughts and reflections to provide a helpful big-picture perspective.

What we love: When you respond to five or more of Storia’s journaling prompts each month, it creates a summary for you to reflect on. The more you share (by typing or speaking), the better the app’s insights become. Complete the daily mood and gratitude check-ins to update the ever-evolving summary in your profile.

Quick tip: The app’s Community tab can be a powerful tool. According to Storia, users who journal alongside a friend are 65 per cent more likely to stick to the habit.

Meet the creator: Elizabeth Uviebinené, co-author of Slay in Your Lane: The Black Girl Bible, created Storia to help “the dreamers and the doers connect with their future self, process emotions and find gratitude.”
