FAQ
Short answers to the things people ask most. If yours isn’t here, email us — a real person reads it.
What is Soul Lift for?
One affirmation a day, chosen around what you said you want to work on. It’s deliberately small — a moment you can keep, rather than another thing to fall behind on.
How do I get a new affirmation?
Swipe right on the affirmation for a new one, and swipe left to go back to the previous one. Double-tap it (or tap the heart) to save it to your Favourites.
When does the affirmation of the day change?
At 7am Melbourne time, every day — the same moment for everyone, wherever you are. What differs between people is the topics they’ve chosen, not their clock. You can still swipe for as many more as you like; it’s the one you open to that changes each morning.
How does the streak work?
Opening Soul Lift and reading your affirmation counts as that day’s practice — there’s nothing to tick off. The streak counts consecutive days, and it resets if you miss one.
I missed a day and lost my streak. Can I get it back?
No, and that’s deliberate — a streak you can restore isn’t really measuring anything. Your total days practised and your longest-ever streak both stay on your Profile, and those don’t reset.
What are the glowing numbers and the popups?
Your streak counter picks up a stronger glow as it grows, and you’ll get a short congratulation at 3, 10, 20, 30 and 50 days, then every 25 days after that. There’s nothing to unlock — they’re just a marker.
Do I need an account?
No. Soul Lift works fully offline with no sign-up at all. Adding an email and password only does one thing: it backs your streak and favourites up so they survive a lost or replaced phone.
Will I lose everything if I delete the app?
If you never added an email, yes — everything lives only on that device. With an account, sign in again on the new phone and your progress comes back.
How do I change my daily reminders?
Profile → Reminders. There are three, each with its own switch: affirmation reminders (you choose how many, the window they’re spread across, and which days of the week), a daily guided-session reminder, and a streak reminder. Reminders are an iPhone and Android feature — browsers can’t schedule them.
How do I change the background photo?
Tap the wallpaper button in the bottom-right of the Home screen, or go to Profile → Themes. Six backgrounds are free; the rest are part of Soul Lift Premium. You can also add your own photo from your camera roll — those are always free, and you can keep up to 20 of them on the device.
What’s free, and what’s in Premium?
Free covers the app’s daily habit in full: an affirmation every day, unlimited swiping, favourites, your own written affirmations, streaks, reminders, six topics, six backgrounds and two app icons. Premium opens the remaining 90 topics, all 108 backgrounds, every app icon, and the guided sessions. Subscriptions are billed through your App Store account, and you can cancel there at any time.
What are guided sessions?
A few quiet minutes where the affirmations are paced by your breath — a breathing circle to follow and the words arriving one at a time. Nothing is read aloud, so a session works just as well with the sound off. Three are offered each day, chosen around the topics you’ve picked, and the set changes every morning. Guided sessions are part of Premium.
Where do the affirmations come from?
They’re a written, curated library — not generated for you on the fly. Which ones you see is shaped by the focus areas you picked, and you can change those any time in Profile → Focus.
What is the short message that sometimes appears at the top of Home?
An occasional nudge, written from your practice history — how many days you’ve shown up and which topics you read. It appears once there’s enough history to say something true, shows at most once a day, and quietly stays away when there isn’t.
Why does an affirmation I’ve already saved keep coming back?
Saving one mostly steps it out of the daily rotation, but not entirely — a favourite resurfaces every so often on purpose, so the lines that meant something to you come back around rather than disappearing the moment you save them.
Can I write my own affirmations?
Yes — Profile → My affirmations. Those stay on your device and aren’t uploaded anywhere.
How do I delete my data?
Two options, depending on how much you want gone. Profile → Settings → Reset app clears everything on this device and resets your progress. Profile → Settings → Account → Delete account goes further: it permanently removes your whole account and every record attached to it from our servers, immediately and for good.
