What is Clearful?

Clearful is a journaling app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android and the web built around guided journals: a library of more than 400 prompts and templates, a daily question and a builder for your own templates. Entries are written in a rich-text editor and resurface later through a Rediscover view. It is free with unlimited entries on up to two devices and no ads; Clearful Pro adds photos, AI-written reviews, locked entries, themes and unlimited devices.

Clearful has a free plan. Paid plans start at $9.99 per month, or $59.99 per year (US App Store description). See every plan

Good for

  • People who want prompts and guided templates instead of a blank page
  • Journaling across phone, tablet, Mac and browser with one account
  • Free text journaling with unlimited entries and no ads

Worth knowing

  • Photos in entries, AI Reviews, custom templates, themes and locked entries need Clearful Pro, and the free plan connects only two devices.
  • There is no bulk import: the help center says no CSV, Day One or one-click migration tool exists.
  • The interface is English only, and audio journaling with transcription is still marked as coming soon.
  • The vendor's site lists no prices. The App Store description gives $9.99 a month or $59.99 a year, while its in-app list also shows $14.99 and $89.99.

Key features

Guided journals library
More than 400 guided journals, prompts and templates cover topics from gratitude to work decisions, with a Discover Daily question each day. Some guided journals are reserved for Pro.
Flow Editor
A rich-text editor with 14+ formatting options, including headings, bulleted and numbered lists, checklists, quotes, dividers, links and text styles.
Rediscover
Past entries resurface from set points such as 1 month, 6 months, 1 year and 3 years ago, so you can look back at how things have changed.
AI-Enhanced Reviews
Weekly, monthly, quarterly, bi-yearly and yearly reviews use AI to summarize themes, moments and patterns from your own entries. AI Reviews are a Pro benefit.
Privacy controls
The vendor says entries are encrypted on the device, in transit and at rest. Face ID or Touch ID locks the app, a device manager revokes sign-ins, and Pro adds a lock for single entries.
Sync across devices
One account syncs the journal between iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android and the web app. The free plan supports up to two connected devices and Pro removes the limit.
