Problem
Journaling apps store text. They don't read it.
Most journaling tools are blank pages with a save button. ReflectLoop reads between the lines — surfacing cognitive biases, thinking patterns, and recurring beliefs as you write.
AI reads as you write
Cognitive distortions are highlighted inline — overgeneralization, should statements, catastrophizing — with gentle labels, not clinical jargon.
Patterns emerge over time
Weekly and monthly views surface recurring themes. Are you always catastrophizing on Mondays? The data knows before you do.

What I’d revisit
The inline highlighting works well for awareness but needs a 'so what' layer — actionable suggestions or reframes, not just labels. Also needs offline-first architecture for private journaling.
