AffirmCount is a free affirmation counter app for iPhone and iPad: you say your affirmation out loud, and voice recognition counts each repetition for you. "I can do this" — how many times do you say it each day? When you repeat affirmations, keeping count pulls your focus away from the words. AffirmCount counts for you. Hands-free, so you can stay with your affirmation. When you can't speak up, tap to count instead. Every count is saved. How it works 1. Write your affirmation and set a daily goal, for example 30 times. 2. Tap the mic and say it out loud. Each time you finish the sentence, the count goes up by one. 3. Reach your goal, see today's total and keep your streak going. Key features • Voice counting — speak your affirmation and it is counted automatically, even when quotes, numbers or currency are written differently. • Tap counting — count by tapping when you are somewhere you can't speak. • Affirmation Check (new) — on-device AI checks whether your Korean or English affirmation is in the first person, positive and in the present tense, and suggests a better version (iOS 26+, Apple Intelligence devices). • Goals, statistics and streaks — set a daily goal for each affirmation and track your progress over days. • Daily reminder — a notification at the time you choose. • 45 languages — the app follows your phone's language. • iPad and iPhone Duo — your list and the counter side by side. Made for • People practicing the law of attraction, manifestation and self-affirmation • Anyone who repeats affirmations, mantras or gratitude phrases every day • People building a meditation and mindfulness habit Privacy No account is needed and your affirmations stay on your device.

TRACK WORKOUTS HOW YOU LIKE ------------------------------------ Workout Lock supports multiple ways of tracking your workout sessions: 1. Timed (simplest) You define a plain time block for your workout. Distracting apps stay blocked until your workout time is up. 2.
