Twenty Knots

Twenty Knots is a quiet companion for Émile Coué's method of conscious autosuggestion. Coué asked people to say a simple, hopeful phrase twenty times on waking and twenty times at bedtime, counting on a cord with twenty knots so there was nothing to keep track of. Twenty Knots does the counting for you. RECORD ONCE Say your affirmation once, in your own voice. The silence at each end is trimmed for you. Or begin with Coué's own formula: "Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better." PLAY TWENTY Each repetition ties one knot on the ring. Choose any number from 1 to 100, and the pause between repetitions. PLAYLISTS Chain affirmations together, each with its own count. Three starter playlists are included: Coué's Morning, Coué's Night and The Drive. WORKS EVERYWHERE, WITH NO SIGNAL Everything is stored on your iPhone, so it plays on a plane, underground or in the countryside. It keeps going with the screen locked, with the knot count on the Lock Screen. APPLE WATCH Keep your affirmations on your Watch and play them through AirPods with your iPhone left behind, or let the Watch tap your wrist for each knot while you say the words yourself. CARPLAY Start a playlist or an affirmation from your car's screen and keep both hands on the wheel. The knot count shows on the car's display, and the steering-wheel buttons pause and skip. A DAILY READING A short passage from Coué's own writing each day. CALM BY DESIGN Gentle morning and night reminders, a dark night mode, and a simple calendar of your sessions. No streaks and no scolding. APPLE HEALTH AND ICLOUD, IF YOU WISH Add your sessions to Apple Health as Mindful Minutes, and keep your recordings in step across devices through your own private iCloud. Both are off until you turn them on. FREE AND PRIVATE No price, no ads, no in-app purchases and no account. Nothing you record leaves your devices unless you turn on iCloud sync, and then only into your own private iCloud. Twenty Knots supports a habit of positive self-talk. It is not a medical treatment.
