Reflecto
AI-Powered Personal Diary for Mental Wellness
A React Native mobile app for mood tracking with personalized insights, reflection prompts, habit tracking, and Azure AI-powered task prioritization.
The Challenge
Mental wellness apps often lack personalization and privacy, forcing users to choose between AI-powered insights (cloud-based) or privacy (local-only), but not both.
• Generic mood tracking without personalized pattern recognition
• Privacy concerns with cloud-based AI analysis of personal thoughts
• No actionable insights from diary entries
• Difficult to maintain consistent journaling habits
• Task prioritization doesn't consider mental state

Key Features:
Daily mood tracking with emotion intensity scales
AI-generated reflection prompts based on mood patterns
