Master your inner voice. Conquer your outer world. Maxims writes daily affirmations for you — not for everyone. Most affirmation apps hand you the same library as a million other people. Maxims starts with a short profile: what you want to build, what you're working through, and how you've been lately. Then it writes affirmations that speak to that. Short, direct, and yours. A maxim is a rule you live by. That's the bar for every line in this app: no fluff, no filler, nothing you'd be embarrassed to say out loud. Just words that straighten your spine and put you back in charge of the voice in your head. ## MAXIMS FEATURES WRITTEN FOR YOU Maxims Pro generates an endless feed of affirmations from your goals and your profile. No repeats, no generic lists. Every line is built to sound like something you'd actually say to yourself on a good day. DAILY AFFIRMATIONS, MAXIMS & QUOTES A clean, swipeable feed of affirmations, timeless maxims, and quotes that hold up. Save the ones that land. Share the ones worth passing on. HOME & LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS Keep your maxims in front of you every time you pick up your phone. A quiet reminder of who you're becoming. GUIDED PRACTICE SESSIONS Morning, Energy, and Relax sessions led by professional voice actors. Start the day steady, get fired up, or wind down — a few minutes at a time. STREAKS & MOMENTUM Track the days you show up. Small reps, stacked daily, are how the inner voice changes. THEMES Pick from our themes, edit the font, size, and color, or build your own with a background of your choice. Turn on background motion if you want it. SOUNDSCAPES Rain, ocean, forest, creek, and more. Ambient sound to quiet the noise and keep you present. Plays with the app closed. SHAREABLE AFFIRMATIONS Turn any affirmation into a graphic sized for Instagram, TikTok, or your home screen — on your current theme, a photo from your library, or a selfie. REMINDERS THAT FIT YOUR DAY Set how many affirmations you want and when. One a day or one an hour, morning practice reminder included. Your call. WHO IT'S FOR Anyone who wants to be stronger, calmer, and more sure of themselves. Building confidence, handling stress, staying focused on a goal, getting through a hard season, or just done being your own harshest critic — Maxims meets you there. ## SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION A Maxims Pro subscription is available to access additional features and remove ads, but a subscription is not required to use the Maxims app. Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account upon confirmation. - Your subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. - You can manage your subscription in your App Store account settings. - If you subscribe during a free trial, the trial will end when your purchase is confirmed.
