Daily Affirmations vs Ripple

Your voice is your most powerful tool. LoopAffirm lets you record affirmations in your own words, in your own voice, and play them on repeat, so the message you choose is the one you hear again and again. RECORD IN YOUR OWN VOICE • Say your own affirmation, or choose one of the suggestions to read while you record. • Name your recordings so you can find the one you need. LOOP IT IN • Play once, loop for a set time, or loop all night with 8-hour and "Until I stop" options. • Keep listening with the screen locked, using Lock Screen controls. CALMING BACKGROUND SOUNDS • Play a sound softly under your voice: brown, pink or white noise, a 432 Hz tone, nine Solfeggio tones, or binaural beats. • Set the background volume to sit just right under your voice. WATCH IT WORK • A rep counter shows every repetition as you listen. • Fill two daily rings, one for reps and one for minutes listened. • Keep your streak going. Any listening counts. • See your progress at a glance: current and best streak, a calendar of the days you've listened, and all-time totals. RIGHT THERE, EVERY TIME • Pin an affirmation to your Home Screen with a widget, in the colour you like. • Daily reminders show one of your own affirmations, on the days and at the time you choose.

Ripple is a calm sensory surface that answers when you touch it. Tap, and a wave spreads outward through a grid of cells - lighting each one as it passes, fading as it reaches the edge. Open it, and it responds. No score, no streak, and no timer running somewhere measuring how long you managed. It asks nothing back. TWELVE SURFACES, FOUR WAYS IN Ripple's experiences are grouped by how you arrive rather than by what they are called. Ease In - for when you're flat, foggy, or not quite started. Settle - for when you're alright and want to stay there. Breathe - for when things are climbing. Ease Out - for when everything needs to slow down. Each surface is a finished thing with its own grid, pace and colours. Shimmer is light scattered across water. Meadow is light through long grass. Still is slow water with no edges. START WHERE YOU ARE If choosing is already too much, four Quick Starts choose for you. Tired. Overwhelmed. Calm. Worried. Tap one and you're in. SILENT BY DEFAULT Ripple makes no sound at all. It works on a bus, in a meeting, in a classroom, at three in the morning. Nothing to mute, and nothing to explain to the person next to you. A light haptic answers each ripple you make, so it still feels like something happened. LEAVE IT RUNNING Autoplay keeps the surface moving with nobody touching it - for a shared iPad, a quiet corner, or just to watch. FOR THE GROWN-UPS Two optional controls, both off by default, both needing Face ID or a passcode to change. "Ask before leaving" keeps a child in the experience you handed them instead of back on the home screen. "Ask before buying" means nothing can be purchased without you. Neither ever locks anyone in: if the device has no passcode, both open rather than trap. GENTLE BY DESIGN The light stays even and the movement stays slow. Ripple follows the accessibility settings you have already set on your device - turn on Reduce Motion or Dim Flashing Lights in Settings > Accessibility, and it adjusts without being asked. Every palette is contrast-checked, and nothing relies on colour alone. Dynamic Type is supported throughout, up to the largest sizes, with a full light and dark appearance. The ripple surface works with VoiceOver: double-tap to send a ripple, or activate it for direct touch and draw freely. ANY SCREEN On iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo, Ripple fills the window it is given. Rotate, fold or unfold, and the surface keeps its place, ripples and all. NO ACCOUNT Ripple works with aeroplane mode on. There is no account, so nothing to sign up for and no name or email to give. It measures a little about how the app is used - never anything you draw, never your precise location, and never to advertise to you. Settings has the full list in plain English. WHAT'S FREE Bloom, Flow, Blush and Still are free - one from each of the four groups, chosen because they are good, not because they are samples. A single one-time unlock opens the other eight. It is a purchase, not a subscription, and it works with Family Sharing.
