Reflect Today
Calendar-driven personal video journaling for Windows. Record short sessions against any day, transcribe them on your own PC, and keep every clip on your machine.
Why Reflect Today
Most journalling apps live on a phone or in the cloud. Reflect Today lives on your PC and stays there — including the transcription.
Local-only by design
No account, no cloud sync, no servers. Your entries live in a folder you choose. Back them up to OneDrive or a USB drive yourself if you want. Even the transcription runs on your PC.
Built for Windows
Native desktop app. Opens fast, runs on a single window, works with any webcam Windows recognises. No browser, no Electron, no Java runtime.
Yours forever
A one-time purchase of £14.99 on the Microsoft Store, no subscription. Entries are saved as standard MP4 files you can play in any video player, with or without Reflect Today installed.

Frequently asked questions
Does Reflect Today upload anything?
No. There is no server component. Recordings, settings and your timeline data live in a folder on your PC. Transcription runs locally too. The app only contacts the Microsoft Store for licence checks and updates, nothing else.
What video format are entries saved in?
Standard MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio. You can open and play any entry in Windows Media Player, VLC, or any other video tool, even without Reflect Today installed. When you export, your title, description and transcript are written into the MP4 itself.
Will it sync across PCs?
Not directly — that would mean running a sync service we do not want to operate. Point Reflect Today at a folder inside OneDrive, Dropbox or any sync tool you already use, and it will sync that way.
How much is it?
