WIDGETS Lock screen and home screen. Choose which packs feed the rotation and whether lines stay put or refresh through the day. Favorite straight from the widget. TODAY One affirmation chosen for the day, drawn from the packs you've picked. DAILY REMINDERS Gentle notifications at the times that actually help. SHARE CARDS Turn any line into a soft gradient card and send it to someone who needs it. APPLE WATCH Your packs on your wrist, offline, no phone required. LOVE NOTES Add someone special and hear from them on your home screen. There is a hard season setting for when things are heavy, so the notes hold the difficulty and the love at the same time. SAVAGE MODE Gentle when you need gentle. Punchy when you ask for punchy. Bolder language stays off until you turn it on, with word-by-word control over what can appear. 18+. FIVE THEMES Blush, Serene, Meadow, Golden, and Twilight, each with a warm dark mode for late nights. YOUR WORDS STAY YOURS No accounts. No ads. No analytics. No tracking. Your affirmations are stored on your device and shared only with the widget on the same phone. ALTA'S PLUS Alta's is free to use. Ten packs, favorites, search, share cards, one daily reminder, widgets, and up to three custom lines cost nothing, forever. Alta's Plus is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. It opens all 36 packs, unlimited custom affirmations, reminders at several times a day, the four extra themes, Love Notes, Apple Watch, and Savage Mode. Alta's is a self-care and reflection tool. It is not a substitute for professional care. If a season feels bigger than an affirmation, the app keeps free support resources one tap away.
