FAQ
Questions about WithinYou
A few simple answers about how WithinYou works, what reflection means here, and how your data is handled.
What is WithinYou?+
WithinYou is a simple daily reflection app. Each day, you receive one thoughtful question to help you pause, reflect honestly, and better understand yourself over time.
Do I need to write every day?+
No. There are no streaks or pressure to stay consistent. Some days you may write a lot, some days only a sentence, and some days you may skip entirely.
What if I skip a question?+
Nothing bad happens. Questions expire after a while so each day can feel fresh, but missing a reflection does not reset anything or punish you.
Why only one question a day?+
WithinYou is intentionally slow. Instead of endless prompts or feeds, the goal is to create one small moment of attention and honesty each day.
How are reflection insights generated?+
Over time, WithinYou may look across your reflections to identify recurring themes, patterns, emotional directions, or tensions. Insights are generated with AI and are meant for reflection only — not diagnosis, therapy, or professional advice.
How many reflections do I need before insights are generated?+
After your first 5 reflections, WithinYou will generate an initial gentle insight based on early patterns in your writing. You can learn more about future insights in WithinYou Plus.
Are my reflections private?+
Your reflections are stored securely and are never sold to advertisers or third parties. Access is limited and only used when necessary to operate and improve the service.
Is WithinYou therapy?+
No. WithinYou is a self-reflection tool, not a mental health service or replacement for professional support.
Where can I see my reflection history and insights?+
Your previous reflections and available insights can be viewed from your profile page.
Can I delete my reflections?+
Yes. You can delete individual reflections at any time.
Can I delete my account?+
Yes. You can permanently delete your account and associated reflections from your profile settings.
What is WithinYou Plus?+
WithinYou Plus is an optional subscription for people who would like deeper insight into their reflections over time. It includes ongoing reflection insights, monthly reflective letters, full reflection history, reflection statistics, keyword search, category filters, and access to experimental features as they become available.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes. You can cancel your subscription at any time. Your Plus features will remain available until the end of your current billing period, and your subscription will not renew.
Will my reflections and insights remain available if I cancel?+
Yes. Your reflections and insights are never deleted if you cancel. Reflection insights remain available, and your reflections remain in your account. After cancellation, free plan limits apply, including access to only your most recent two months of reflections.
What are Reflection Journeys?+
At the end of each quarter, Plus members receive a Reflection Journey — a journal-like look back at their time with WithinYou. It combines reflection statistics, patterns, categories, and gentle observations to help you understand how you have been using reflection over time. Rather than focusing on individual answers, Reflection Journeys look at broader tendencies and habits, offering another way to learn about yourself through your own reflection history.
