About

I Will Be

Features
Read full description

IWillBe is a daily affirmation practice built around one simple question: Who are you becoming? You write a single identity anchor - "I'm becoming the calm parent" or "the writer who shows up" - and the rest of the app personalizes around it. Affirmations call you by name. Practice sessions are framed by who you're becoming. Every meaningful action counts as a vote toward that identity. WHAT'S INSIDE • Daily affirmation feed with 5 personalized cards each morning • Personalized AI affirmations generated from your identity statement • Practice mode with optional narration in a calm, natural voice • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets that show your identity anchor and vote count • Solid, gradient, photo, and video themes • Streak counter (streak is consistency; votes are commitment) • Favorites, history, and custom collections • Share affirmations as image cards PREMIUM ($47.99/year, 3-day free trial) • Unlimited custom affirmations • Premium photo and video themes • AI affirmation regeneration • Ad-free forever PRIVACY • Your identity statement and answers stay on-device unless you use AI generation • AI generation sends your identity statement, optional first name, pronouns, and topic preferences to our server and Anthropic; it does not send your email, contacts, or precise location • PostHog provides pseudonymous product analytics with no named profile and no cross-app tracking Privacy policy: https://iwillbe.illustrious.dev/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
