Reflective questions that get people writing
A large library of open-ended questions, organized by theme, guides therapeutic writing between sessions. Your patient chooses what to share, and anything they share lands in their record, dated and ready for the next session.
What does success mean to me?
For a long time I thought it was about how others saw me. Writing this, I realize that
1,633 questions, written to get people writing.
Every question below comes straight from the library, exactly as patients receive it. Seventeen themes, so there's always a way in.
“When was the last time I listened to my intuition?”
“What does success mean to me?”
“I forgive myself for…”
“What do I really like about myself?”
“What would I like to say to my best friend?”
“Who deserves a big thank you right now?”
“What topic would I like to know more about?”
“What am I most passionate about right now?”
“What made today a great day?”
“What made me smile today?”
“How do I think my colleagues describe me?”
“What skill would I like to develop if I had the chance?”
“What did I like to do as a child?”
“What memory from last month do I want to share?”
“What does love mean to me?”
“What makes our relationship unique?”
“How are my children like me?”

…and 7 more themes: Travel, Emotions, Nature, Future, Spirituality, Living environment, Humor.
Patients open their journal, and a question is already waiting.
No blank page to face: a question appears, and they write. If it doesn't speak to them, they draw another with a tap.

What would I like to say to my father?
That I'm proud of how far he's come…
Another one?
Need inspiration? Choose a theme!
Swap a question that doesn't fit
A tap on “Another one?” brings up a new question from the same theme. They write about what matters to them today, not about a topic someone else picked.
Themes at their fingertips
Work, emotions, memories, nature… patients choose their topic before they start. It's often the only decision they need to make: the rest is just writing.
Morning questions aren't evening questions.
In the morning, questions look ahead to the day; later on, they help look back on it.
☀️ In the morning
“What was the first thought that came to my mind this morning?”
“What can I do for myself today?”
🌙 In the evening
“What made me happy today?”
“What did I learn today?”
My surprise question
Every morning, a surprise question is waiting, drawn from a theme such as gratitude, self-esteem or the future. For example: “What have I changed my mind about recently?”
No repeats from one day to the next
Wrote about their evening the night before? The morning question won't go back over yesterday: it looks ahead. “What do I expect from today?”
Questions that keep changing
A question they've already answered won't come back for a long time, so writing stays fresh throughout therapy.
Private or shared: the patient decides, entry by entry.
Every answer ends with a choice: “Private” or “Therapist.” What they share lands in the record with its question, dated and ready for the session.

Consent is built into the product, not buried in a clause: an answer only shows up here if the patient chose “Therapist” when finishing it. You start the session with what they decided to share, already dated and sorted.
Assign a question. Or write your own.
Add a question to the homework for the next session, or write your own and set how long you'd like the answer to be.

It's the reflective writing that patients mention first.
Two reviews from users, translated from French.
“Just a huge thank you to whoever created this wonderful app. The questions are open and precise enough to get you reflecting straight away. It's a journal that really helps you move forward!”
Lea, 26
“This app is brilliant. The journal entries help me clear my head and calm my overheated mind a little. The daily questions are so open that it's easy to share what's on my mind. In short, I love it.”
Arnaud, 39
Every question exists in ten languages, from French to Korean, so patients who speak another language can write in their own.
Frequently asked questions
How do I assign a question?
In one click from the library: on its own, as a series, or as part of a program, with reminders.
Where does the patient answer?
On their phone: the question gives their writing a starting point, and they can begin in ten seconds.
Are the answers private?
Yes, unless your patient chooses to share them. Whatever they share goes into their record to inform the session.
How many themes are covered?
Seventeen, each with its own questions: self-knowledge, self-esteem, friends, romantic relationships, gratitude, motivation, work, memories, parenthood, positivity, travel, emotions, nature, the future, spirituality, living environment and humor.
