Speak with more calm. Bring the Toltec agreements into the moments that matter. Reading an agreement can inspire you. Toltec helps turn it into a practical reminder through small guided practices for everyday life. • Your first reminder: choose a goal and a context, try a practice, and keep an intention in your own words. • Morning: prepare for your day and adapt your intention. • Evening: reflect on what happened and write down what you want to remember, even if you skipped the morning ritual. • Your journal: revisit dated intentions and reflections, edit them or delete them. • The five agreements: reread their principles and explore daily inspirations. • At your pace: choose optional reminders and keep your personal intention close with a widget. • Your own atmosphere: choose a theme, save favorite inspirations with Premium and share the words that speak to you. Your personal reminder, rituals and journal stay free. Toltec Premium unlocks favorites and all themes. Choose an annual or weekly subscription. The annual free trial depends on Apple eligibility. Prices, periods and renewal terms are shown before purchase. Restore purchases and manage your subscription in Settings. Available on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Your personal writing is stored locally. No account is required. Inspired by the Toltec agreements presented in Don Miguel Ruiz’s books.
