Prompts and templates
Never stare at a blank page — 140 prompts and 59 templates
Somewhere to start when the page is blank: a question chosen for what you have been feeling, or a structure to fill in. On Pro, the question can be written from your own reflection.
An example
“Name three people who shaped this month and how.”
- Category Relationships
- Kind Prompted entry
She wrote about three people and three uncomfortable conversations: a therapist who made a pattern clear enough that doing nothing became harder than doing something, a partner who needed her present rather than perfect, and a father who had changed years before she noticed. The entry is kept as a prompted one, with the question above it.
What you can do
- Write from today’s prompt
- Start Writing on the dashboard card opens the composer with the question above it. The entry is kept as a prompted one.
- Say more like this, or not for me
- The two thumbs under the card. Each one moves that category up or down for the next seven days.
- Browse all 140
- The Prompts page leads with one question and says why it chose it, then lists every prompt by category. Another gives you a different one.
- Start from a template
- Fifty-nine built-in structures, from the Five-Minute Journal to a habit tracker. Pick one on the Templates page and the composer is pre-filled with its sections.

Prompts and templates make journaling accessible — even on days when you have nothing to say.
Daily reflection practice
Use the 5-Minute Journal or Evening Reflection template to build a consistent daily journaling habit. The structure removes the friction of starting.
Overcoming writer's block
Never stare at a blank page. Prompts give you a starting point — and because they are informed by your recent writing, they feel relevant, not random.

Mindfulness and gratitude prompts help you slow down and notice what matters. Combined with emotion tracking, they create a powerful self-awareness practice.
