Affirmpad guide — put your own affirmation up fullscreen and count reps by tapping, favorites, dark mode, JSON backup

What this app does

Affirmpad is a small pad for repeating affirmations out loud. Write lines like “I am doing enough today” in your own words and file them under topics such as Confidence, Gratitude or Calm. Pick a line and it appears large in the card at the top; each time you say it, press the round Tap button and the number goes up. A bar fills towards your session goal, and Undo takes one back if you pressed by mistake. A few starter lines in your language are there on the first open, and you can edit or delete every one of them.

Every tap gives a soft click and a short buzz, and each has its own switch at the top; on a device without vibration it simply stays quiet. The Fullscreen button leaves only the sentence, the number and the Tap button on screen, and the count is still there when you come back with Exit or the Escape key. Dark mode turns the cream paper deep indigo and is remembered next time. There is no account, no subscription, no ad and not a single locked feature.

What is on the screen

• The amber strip at the top: a note that your data stays on this device and that there is no subscription and no ads.
• The header: the app name, the language picker, and three toggles for dark mode, sound and vibration.
• The practice card: the topic pill, the sentence set large, the rep count with its goal bar, the round Tap button, Undo and Reset, previous / next arrows, and the Fullscreen button.
• My affirmations: chips to filter by All, Favorites or a topic, and each row has a star (favorite), the sentence (tap to practise it), and edit / delete. “Add affirmation” and “Manage topics” underneath create new ones.
• Settings: the session goal and text size A / A+ / A++.
• Backup: Export JSON, Import JSON, and Delete all data.

How to use it

Tap “Add affirmation”, write the sentence and pick a topic if you like. Short, present-tense lines are the easiest to say aloud. Tap a line in the list and it rises into the practice card. Say it once, tap once. When you reach the session goal (10 by default) “Goal reached” appears, and the previous / next arrows move to another line. With the Favorites chip selected, the arrows cycle through favorites only.

For a distraction-free run, tap “Fullscreen”. Where the browser refuses fullscreen (some iPhones) the same stage still fills the screen. Exit or the Escape key brings you back with the count intact. Add the page to your home screen and it opens like an app and works offline. Before switching devices, export JSON from the Backup card.

How it avoids the usual failures

• A free trial that becomes $47 a year: none. There is no trial, no charge and no price list. What you see is all there is, free forever.
• A subscription you cannot cancel: none. There is nothing to cancel, and every feature is open from the first open.
• “Free” but topics or reminders sit behind a purchase: none. Topics are unlimited and free, and so is every setting.
• Ads popping up mid-practice: none. The app ships no advertising script at all.
• Everything gone after a reinstall: export JSON from the Backup card, and “Import JSON” on the new device brings back every affirmation, topic and setting.

FAQ

Common questions are about where data lives, why the click or buzz is silent, and what happens to the count when you leave fullscreen.
