Read full description

"If you knew the magnificence of 3, 6 and 9, you would have a key to the universe." - Nikola Tesla This app turns the viral 369 manifestation method into a structured 33-day program. Not another notes app: a guided ritual with a day counter, smart reminders and a completion ceremony. Write your affirmation 3 times in the morning, 6 times at midday, 9 times in the evening. 594 repetitions over 33 days. The app keeps you on track so you actually finish. HOW IT WORKS - Guided affirmation builder: turn what you want into a present-tense, identity-level affirmation - Two ritual styles: Classic (write your affirmation each session) or Structured (desire 3x, intention 6x, feeling 9x) - 3 daily writing sessions with reminders timed to your day - Day counter, a 3-6-9 triangle that fills as you go, and a 33-day grid of your journey STAY ON TRACK - Streaks with premium streak freeze - Milestone days 3, 9, 11, 18, 22 and 27 with shareable progress - First-week badge and a Day 33 completion ceremony - Signs journal: log the synchronicities and small wins you notice along the way - Doubt screen: when practice gets hard, see the days you completed and the signs you logged - Weekly summary of your sessions, best time of day and mood - Past cycles: every finished 33-day cycle stays in your journey DEEPEN THE RITUAL - Record your affirmation in your own voice and play it back before writing - Solfeggio frequencies while you write: 528 Hz, 639 Hz, 963 Hz - Vision board for the life you are writing into reality - New moon reminders: the strongest day to start a new 33-day cycle - Mood check-in after each session, with your emotional arc in the journey view YOUR PRACTICE, YOUR DATA Everything stays on your device.

About

If/Then Habits

Features
Read full description

Most habit apps ask you to track. If/Then asks you to rehearse. You know what you want to do. At 11pm you reach for your phone anyway. If/Then works on that moment. THE METHOD An implementation intention is a plan shaped like "if X, then I will Y." Gollwitzer and Sheeran reviewed 94 studies in 2006 and found that writing out the when, where, and how of a behavior produced a medium-to-large improvement in follow-through. If/Then builds the whole app around that one mechanism. HOW IT WORKS - Write the rule. Pair a cue you already hit ("if I feel bored at my desk") with a response you can picture ("then I stand up and stretch for one minute"). - Rehearse each morning. Run the plan in your head before the cue arrives, so the response feels familiar when the real moment shows up. - Check in each evening. Say whether you followed through. If you didn't, reword the rule, rehearse it again, or retire it. - Watch it compound. Your plans climb mastery tiers as the evidence builds. - Get reminders written from your own wording, not a generic "don't forget." WHO IT'S FOR You have a habit you have tried and dropped: your phone in bed, the workouts you skip, the procrastination that starts at 10pm, the way you snap at people when you are stressed. If/Then targets the moment the habit fires rather than the goal behind it. If you have read about implementation intentions and wanted an app built around them, you have found it. MEMBERSHIP 7-day free trial, then $6.99/month or $39.99/year. Apple charges your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews on its own unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in Settings > Subscriptions.
