Help & FAQ

Manifest: Affirmations is a clean, distraction-free app designed to support your daily affirmation and manifestation practice. Create unlimited affirmations, organize them into categories, practice with background audio, track your progress with streaks, and journal your journey - all while keeping your data private and secure.

After downloading the app, you'll be guided through a simple onboarding process. Tap the "+" button to create a new affirmation, write your positive statement, select a category (like Wealth, Health, or Love), and save. You can create as many affirmations as you want - there are no limits.

The app comes with 5 pre-loaded categories: Wealth, Health, Love, Career, and Personal Growth. You can also create unlimited custom categories with your own colors and icons to organize your affirmations exactly how you want.

Yes! The core features are completely free: unlimited affirmations, unlimited categories, all 16 audio tracks, unlimited journal entries, progress tracking with streaks, iCloud sync, and data export. Premium features like voice recording and subliminal audio are available as an optional subscription.

Manual Mode: You tap to advance to the next affirmation. This gives you full control over your pacing and is great for deeply focusing on each statement.

Auto-Repeat Mode: Affirmations automatically advance after a set time (1-10 seconds). This is ideal for a more meditative, hands-free experience.

Yes! Choose from 16 included spiritual audio tracks, including 8 tracks featuring 432Hz healing frequencies. You can adjust the volume independently from your affirmation audio, and sessions continue playing even with your screen locked.

432Hz is known as the "natural frequency" and is believed by many to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance meditation. We include 8 tracks specifically tuned to this frequency. Note: These are for relaxation and motivation purposes only, not medical treatment.

Yes! Background playback is fully supported. Start your session, lock your screen, and your affirmations and audio will continue playing. This is perfect for relaxing sessions before sleep or during meditation.

The journal lets you record your thoughts, insights, and experiences on your manifestation journey. Each entry is automatically timestamped, and you can add mood tracking (amazing, good, okay, tough, or difficult), link entries to specific categories, and search across all your entries.

No limits at all! Write as many entries as you want, with no character restrictions. Your entire journaling history is stored securely and can be exported anytime.

Yes! Filter by date range, category, or mood. You can also use full-text search to find specific entries. This makes it easy to review your progress and reflect on your journey over time.

Manifest includes three widgets:

• Affirmation of the Day - Shows a daily affirmation from your collection. Available in small, medium, large, and Lock Screen sizes.

• Quick Start - Launch a session with one tap directly from your Home Screen. The medium size also shows shortcuts to your top categories.

• Streak & Stats - Keep your streak visible! Shows your current streak, today's sessions, total practice time, and all-time stats. Also available on Lock Screen.

Press and hold on your Home Screen until apps start jiggling, then tap the "+" button in the top corner. Search for "Manifest" and choose from the available widget sizes. Tap to add, then position it where you like.

Press and hold on your Lock Screen, tap "Customize", select your Lock Screen, then tap the widget area above or below the time. Search for "Manifest" and add the Affirmation or Streak widget. Perfect for a quick glance without unlocking your phone.

The Affirmation of the Day widget shows a new affirmation each day. Stats widgets update after each session you complete. iOS manages widget refresh timing to preserve battery life.

Complete at least one session per day to build your streak. Your current streak shows how many consecutive days you've practiced. We also track your longest streak ever, so you can always try to beat your personal best!

We track: current streak, longest streak, total sessions completed, total affirmation repetitions, weekly activity chart, category breakdown (which categories you practice most), today's summary, and your recent session history.

Your data is always safe. With iCloud sync enabled, your statistics sync across all your devices. You can also export your data at any time. We're committed to never removing features or deleting user data.

All your content is stored locally on your device using Apple's secure Core Data framework. This data is encrypted by iOS and protected by your device passcode, Face ID, or Touch ID. If you enable iCloud sync (optional), your data is also stored in your private Apple iCloud account, encrypted end-to-end. We never have access to your iCloud data.

Yes! Go to Settings > Export Data and choose your format: .txt (human-readable) or .json (machine-readable). Your affirmations, categories, journal entries, and statistics can all be exported. Your data belongs to you.

We use "soft deletion" - when you delete an affirmation, category, or journal entry, it's moved to a recovery area where it can be restored for 30 days. After 30 days, it's permanently deleted. Go to Settings > Deleted Items to restore anything you need.

Absolutely not. We have a strict no-data-selling policy. We don't track your behavior, we don't show ads, and we don't share your information with third parties. Your manifestation practice is private and personal.

Premium includes: voice-recorded custom affirmations, subliminal audio layering (your affirmations played under ambient sounds), advanced statistics (time patterns, mood correlations), custom app themes, upload your own audio (up to 10 tracks), smart reminders based on your patterns, session templates, and CSV export.

Premium is $4.99/month or $29/year (save 51% with yearly). Both options include a 7-day free trial so you can try all premium features before committing.

Subscriptions are managed through your Apple ID. Go to Settings on your iPhone > [Your Name] > Subscriptions > Manifest: Affirmations > Cancel Subscription. You'll continue to have premium access until your current billing period ends.

Refunds are handled by Apple. Visit reportaproblem.apple.com to request a refund for any recent purchase. We also offer a 7-day free trial so you can try premium features risk-free.

Make sure iCloud sync is enabled: Settings > iCloud Sync > On. Also verify that iCloud is enabled for the app in your iPhone Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > Apps Using iCloud > Manifest. Sync may take a few moments, especially with a large amount of data.

Check that your device isn't on silent mode (flip the switch on the side of your iPhone). Also check the in-app volume controls - both background audio and affirmation audio have separate volume sliders. Make sure your device volume is turned up.

Try these steps: 1) Force close the app and reopen it. 2) Restart your device. 3) Make sure you have the latest version from the App Store. 4) If issues persist, contact us at support@vandenbogert.software with details about what happened.
