Most journaling apps just store your words. Lyfted actually reads them. Write a few honest sentences and Lumie, your companion, answers with a real insight about what is going on underneath. Not a summary. Something you did not already know. WHAT LUMIE DOES (LYFTED PRO) - Reads every entry and answers in her own words - Finds your patterns week by week and calls them out gently - Tracks the mood behind what you write, not just a number - Turns each insight into one small step you can actually take - Keeps your streak alive with a nudge when you need it HOW IT FEELS One tap to log how you feel. A few lines when you have more to say. Scan a page of your paper journal with the camera and Lumie reads that too. LYFTED PRO (SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED) Lyfted requires a Lyfted Pro subscription. It includes Lumie's insights on your entries, weekly patterns, journal page scanning and unlimited chat with Lumie. New subscribers can start with a free trial. Lyfted Pro is billed weekly or yearly to your Apple ID at the price shown in the app before you buy. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Where a free trial is offered, it becomes a paid subscription when the trial ends unless you cancel before then. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. YOUR PRIVACY Your entries are yours. Encrypted, never sold, never used to train anything. Delete everything from Settings whenever you want. Lyfted is not a replacement for professional mental health care. If you are in crisis, please reach out to a licensed professional or call or text 988.

About

PsycheGlow

PsycheGlow is your daily companion for personal motivation — a warm, uplifting message written just for you, every single day. Instead of generic quotes, PsycheGlow crafts each message around who you are: your name, your age, your stage in life, the goals you're chasing this year, and — most importantly — how you actually feel today. Tap your mood in the morning and receive a message that meets you exactly where you are, whether you're energized, tired, stressed, or somewhere in between. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • Truly personal — messages are shaped by your mood and your life, not copied from a list. • Right for the moment — the tone shifts with the time of day, from an inspiring morning start to a calm note before bed. • Listen, don't just read — a gentle built-in voice reads your message aloud in Arabic or English. • Fully bilingual — enjoy PsycheGlow completely in Arabic or English, with beautiful right-to-left support. • Keep your streak — build a daily habit and watch your streak grow. • Share the light — send today's message to someone who needs it. • A calming design — a soft dawn-inspired look that feels peaceful every time you open it. HOW IT WORKS 1. Tell us a little about yourself once. 2. Choose your morning message time. 3. Each day, pick your mood and receive a message made for you — read it or listen to it. SUBSCRIPTION PsycheGlow is a subscription app that starts with a 7-day free trial. • Monthly: $3.99 / month • Yearly: $29.99 / year Your free trial lets you experience everything before you pay a cent. Cancel anytime from your Apple account settings. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your account settings after purchase. ABOUT AI AND YOUR PRIVACY PsycheGlow uses AI (Anthropic's Claude) to write each message. Messages are motivational content only — the app does not provide medical or psychological diagnosis, treatment, or therapy. Your profile stays on your device: there are no accounts and no user database, and your details are sent securely only to generate each message. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://inaya-proxy.inaya-taghrid.workers.dev/privacy Start your day with a message that feels like it was written for you — because it was.
