Frequently asked questions

What is the best alternative to I Am?

If you want lines written from your job, relationships and goals instead of I Am’s category library, Orly is that alternative. Both are mobile apps on the App Store and Google Play. I Am still wins if you want to browse ready-made lines by topic. The sourced comparison is Orly vs I Am.

How is Orly different from Stella?

Stella is a manifestation app on the App Store and Google Play that turns goals into narrated stories. Orly is also on both stores and writes short affirmations from your life, with widgets and an AI coach. The two apps are unrelated.

How is Orly different from Aya?

Aya is on the App Store and Google Play and generates a narrated 3 to 5 minute Dream-Self Moment from a questionnaire. Orly is on both stores and writes 10 short affirmations a day from what you tell it.

What is the best free daily affirmation app?

There isn’t one best app. Unique Daily Affirmations says it is free on iPhone and Android. My Affirmations says the app is free, with optional premium. Daily Affirm says it is free to use with no account, and a one-time purchase from $4.99 unlocks the full library. Orly is free to download, with every Premium feature on the first day, then one personalized affirmation a day. Pick by format, not by the word free.

What is the best positive affirmation app?

ThinkUp is for recording affirmations in your own voice. I Am is a pre-written category library with widgets. Orly writes the affirmations from your life and reads them aloud, so you do not record them and you do not browse a library. Pick the format you will still open next month.

Is there a free daily affirmation app for iPhone?

Yes. I Am, ThinkUp, Unique Daily Affirmations, Daily Affirm and Orly all offer an iPhone app. Orly requires iOS 15 or later and is free to download. “Free to download” is not the same as every feature staying free; check each app’s purchase screen.

What is the best app for personalized affirmations?

If personalized means written from your job, relationships and goals, that is what Orly does: 10 new lines a day. If it means you type or record the lines yourself, My Affirmations and ThinkUp are built for that, and Daily Affirm lets you add your own lines after a one-time purchase. I Am personalizes by category, theme and widget, not by writing from your story.
