your whole life.
Meridian is revolutionizing journaling by turning reflection from a passive chore into an active habit that finally gives you something back.

The details
Everything you need to know.
Completely. Your entry content is never visible to anyone — not your friends, not our team, not the public. Friends only see your streak count. What you write is yours alone.
When your chosen wind-down time hits, Meridian quietly pauses your distracting apps and presents a journaling prompt. Write a few sentences, and the apps unlock. It pulls you out of autopilot and into reflection.
Constellations are groups of related entries our AI maps automatically. If you write about project stress three times this week, those entries physically link together in your 3D night sky to form a Work constellation.
Free gives you unlimited journaling, the 3D galaxy view, streaks, and circles. Pro unlocks the AI-powered weekly recaps, advanced emotional analytics, and custom constellation themes.
Yes. You can export a single entry or your entire journal history as plain text or a PDF at any time. You own your data.
Currently, Meridian is iOS only because we utilize Apple's native Screen Time API. Join the newsletter to be the first to know about Android.
Your first entry becomes your first star.
Start tonight. Three honest minutes is all it takes to step out of autopilot.
