Make meaningful reminders that appear at random during time periods of your choosing. Reminders can sync across devices & display images. Add widgets! Create reminders that mean a lot to you, that bring you joy, comfort and rest. You choose the time frame, and a number of reminders that you select will appear randomly during that period. You can even choose an image to go with your notifications, which can sync across devices. Enjoy a beautiful tong notification sound and your hand-crafted reminder. Reminders can sync across all of your devices, and they can include an image of your choosing to help brighten your days and nights. You can also get widgets, and an Apple Watch app with a widget complication! The background animates subtly as you create your reminders, all while respecting your system-wide accessibility choices regarding reduced motion and transparency, as well as text size. Available in both light and dark mode. Create widgets to see the things that mean so much to you right on your home screen, chosen at random in a way that doesn't simply show the last reminder. The app also has the ability to disable suggestions and word count. Choose from multiple app icons. And you can choose the title for your notifications. No third-party tracking or analytics. No data collected. For terms of use for in-app purchases and subscriptions, see https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

My phone buzzes 100 times a day. Too often the notifications I get – whether they’re from work, the news, or social media – are just a distraction from the moment. When I get a notification from Pearl it reminds me to be *in* the moment. Some of my pearls are just about being present. Other pearls are about gratitude or social connection. But unlike other notifications, Pearl is showing me messages from myself. It helps me focus on the things that matter most. On top of that it’s just a beautiful app! Super easy to use and every bit of it feels just right.

What I love most about this app is that I get to decide all the messages that pop up on my phone. I used other affirmation type apps before and didn’t always want to affirm the message that was sent, or it wasn’t relevant to me. Now whenever I see a quote or someone tells me something meaningful, I add it to the Pearl app and it makes it way back around to me so I don’t forget it. That’s so good for me! Thank youu 🫶🏼

Exactly what I was looking for but limited.

I needed a widget exactly like this to deal with cptsd. I have a lot of goals and a bad and worsening, very very foggy memory as a symptom. Reminding myself of things I need to remember is really hard. Sometimes months will go by. And I can't deal with flowery language and cookie cutter positivity. I needed something customizable and on my desktop at all times REAL bad!This app fully gets the job done.However, besides the ability to use images, editing wididgets is limited and rigid. You can put images in using Photos if you make a folder to import them from your computer. But just selecting the folder itself directly from the computer would have been easier. The text can't be formatted. If you try to format it, the app will glitch. So the font doesn't match my other desktop widgets.I think I will eventually upgrade anyway. It works well enough and the user can tailor the app to their own usage. Thanks for not making me put flowers on my desktop!

So many affirmation apps are.1. A subscription 2. No custom affirmations.3. No random notifications. This app is subscription free with a 1 time purchase. Has custom affirmations. It also gives me random notifications that sync across devices.
