## What is Daily Affirmations?

Create reminders that mean a lot to you, that bring you joy, comfort and rest. 

You choose the time frame, and a number of reminders that you select will appear randomly during that period.

You can even choose an image to go with your notifications, which can sync across devices.

Enjoy a beautiful tong notification sound and your hand-crafted reminder.

Reminders can sync across all of your devices, and they can include an image of your choosing to help brighten your days and nights.

You can also get widgets, and an Apple Watch app with a widget complication!

The background animates subtly as you create your reminders, all while respecting your system-wide accessibility choices regarding reduced motion and transparency, as well as text size.

Available in both light and dark mode.

Create widgets to see the things that mean so much to you right on your home screen, chosen at random in a way that doesn't simply show the last reminder.

The app also has the ability to disable suggestions and word count. Choose from multiple app icons. And you can choose the title for your notifications.

Create strands of Pearls, some that automatically offer advice based on information you choose to give, which is all kept private and on-device. Other strands come from curated authors!

### 5/5 — Great app for emotional and soul growth!

*2026-08-08*

Great app across all platforms to remind yourself of things when growing or changing. I use it for mantras to remind myself of things, like “slow down”, “take a deep breath” or to fix my posture’s. Can completely customize and have only yours, unlike other apps like “I am” and works with Mac, Apple Watch and iPhone unlike “customize it”

### 5/5 — I LOVE the idea of this

*2026-07-06*

I’m so bummed that I can’t get my pearls to show up on my watch. I’m going to have to cancel my subscription😔

Update: working now. THANK YOU! This app is a game changer for me. I am able to be reminded of the things that God has spoken to me. My husband asks,” who is texting you?” And I reply, “Jesus”😂

**Developer response:** Oh no! If you want please send us an email at hello@cephalopod.studio and we’ll see if we can get the pearls on your watch.

### 4/5 — I have 1 pearl and the app is almost 60mb

*2026-04-03*

Is a great little app, I just don’t see how is this app so large, I only have 1 pearl and is almost 60mb , makes no sense

**Developer response:** Hi, glad you’re enjoying the app! The size of the app is from just our code to manage things, like on-device pearl generation in some cases, code to manage purchases, etc. you should be able to have lots of Pearls and the app size should stay about the same. Thanks again!

### 5/5 — Does what I want.

*2025-02-03*

So many affirmation apps are.
1. A subscription 
2. No custom affirmations.
3. No random notifications. 
This app is subscription free with a 1 time purchase. Has custom affirmations. It also gives me random notifications that sync across devices.

### 5/5 — Personalized

*2024-09-27*

What I love most about this app is that I get to decide all the messages that pop up on my phone. I used other affirmation type apps before and didn’t always want to affirm the message that was sent, or it wasn’t relevant to me. Now whenever I see a quote or someone tells me something meaningful, I add it to the Pearl app and it makes it way back around to me so I don’t forget it. That’s so good for me! Thank youu 🫶🏼

**Developer response:** This is wonderful! Glad we could help.

### 3/5 — Exactly what I was looking for but limited.

*2024-07-02*

I needed a widget exactly like this to deal with cptsd. I have a lot of goals and a bad and worsening, very very foggy memory as a symptom. Reminding myself of things I need to remember is really hard. Sometimes months will go by. And I can't deal with flowery language and cookie cutter positivity. I needed something customizable and on my desktop at all times REAL bad!

This app fully gets the job done.

However, besides the ability to use images, editing wididgets is limited and rigid. You can put images in using Photos if you make a folder to import them from your computer. But just selecting the folder itself directly from the computer would have been easier. The text can't be formatted. If you try to format it, the app will glitch. So the font doesn't match my other desktop widgets.

I think I will eventually upgrade anyway. It works well enough and the user can tailor the app to their own usage. Thanks for not making me put flowers on my desktop!

### 4/5 — Doesn't come with photos

*2023-06-28*

I thought it was going to come with pretty nature photos, but it doesn't. You can add photos, but it's not built in or automatic. Otherwise I like it so far.

### 5/5 — Incredible, better than expected

*2023-03-01*

This app is now a life staple. I’ve been using it to remind me of scriptures in the Bible throughout the day. God has been using it to keep me encouraged and focused on Him.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words. I hope it continues to be a boon for you. Best, Matt the developer

### 5/5 — UPDATE: MORE ROOM

*2022-05-29*

developer is super responsive & even took my suggestion and implemented it (more text)! super happy with the new product, looking forward to this.

**Developer response:** Yay! So glad you noticed before we even pinged! Glad to have you aboard :)

### 5/5 — Distraction free wellness

*2021-10-25*

What I really like about Pearl is it’s commitment to its purpose for a wellness app focus is crucial and that’s what I have found in Pearl a distraction free Wellness to remind you of important things in your life

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words! And I hope the app continues to be meaningful for you.

### 3.1 — 2026-10-16

### 3.0 — 2026-10-06

We have a huge release! Now you can create Pearl Strands. These are groups of Pearls, separate from tags, that put your Pearls into these collections. Each collection even has its own time range so that you can specify when to get your Pearls, still at random times, or at just a specific moment. There are three kinds of Strands:

1. Your own written and edited Pearls. You can still get recommendations and fill out templates, but these are all completely yours.
2. A generated Pearl. If enabled, on-device, private generator will send out a Pearl at your specified time as a surprise. And you never need to re-edit these Pearls. It receives only the information you tell it, and a Pearl pops up with the encouragement or topic you selected.
3. Curated. These will be groups of Pearls, with new ones rotated in. These can be quotes from a selected historical author, or sayings from a region or culture, or even cheese jokes. These are available for you to select, as well as edit at will.

We hope you enjoy!
