Worth

Nobody is going to say this to you

Five of the six categories are about effort. This one is not. You pick the times, and these arrive.

08.00
Your value is present the moment you open your eyes.
13.00
You are capable in a way that survives your own opinion of it.
15.00
Tiredness passes through you. You stay.
21.00
You already are someone worth being. That was true before today.

The Worth lines are written for the app rather than quoted, so they carry no author. Forty of them, ten for each part of the day.

Quotes

Choose what you hear, and when

You set the times. The app sends one line at each of them, never the same one twice in a row, drawn from the categories you have switched on. All 240 ship inside the app, so it works with no signal and nothing is fetched.

  • Worth

    You are already enough to start.

  • Discipline

    Doing it when you do not feel like it.

  • Confidence

    Acting before the doubt clears.

  • Focus

    One thing, all the way down.

  • Resilience

    Getting back up faster.

  • Ambition

    Refusing a small horizon.

Goals

A week, a month, a year

Write down what you intend to finish and mark it done. Each period closes on its own and the next one starts empty. Nothing carries over unless you write it again, which is the point.

Worth is the floor. Goals are what you do above it. Missing one does not lower the floor.

Weekly
Free. The scope most things actually fit in.
Monthly
Part of Pro. For work that needs more than a week to show.
Yearly
Part of Pro. The one you will be glad you wrote down.

Privacy

We cannot see any of it

Your goals, your saved quotes and your delivery times are stored on your iPhone. There is no account, so you never give us a name or an email. There is no analytics and no advertising.

One thing does leave the device. If you buy Pro, Apple takes the payment and our payments provider confirms the purchase is still valid. Neither of them receives anything you have written. The Privacy Policy sets out exactly what each one gets.

  • No account and no sign-in
  • No analytics and no crash reporting
  • No advertising and no ad identifiers
  • No tracking across apps or websites
  • Export everything to a file, free tier included
  • Delete everything from inside the app

Pro

Free is a real tier

2 delivery times a day, one category and weekly goals, with no time limit and no advertising. Pro opens the rest. If it ever lapses, nothing you made is deleted.

  • Up to 8 daily moments, not 2
  • All 6 categories at once
  • Monthly and yearly goals, not only weekly
  • The full history of every past period
  • Save the lines that land
  • Share any quote as an image

Monthly, yearly or a one-time purchase. Prices are shown in the app in your own currency. Up to 8 delivery times is a ceiling set by how many notifications iOS will hold for one app, which is why it is not described as unlimited.

Start from where you already are

Available in 22 languages. Requires an iPhone.
