What it does

AnchorMind brings emotional support and inner growth into everyday life. It includes 20 core emotional-support topics and more than 100 topics across ten areas of life: Emotional Support · Relationships & Connection · Health, Body & Mind · Learning, Focus & Personal Growth · Inner Child & Reparenting · Career, Wealth & Abundance · Life Stages & Specialized Support · Meeting Your Future Self · Manifest the Life You Desire · Daily Abundance & Gratitude. Altogether that's more than 30,000 affirmations.

Most affirmation apps just have you repeat a line. We built something different: a full practice modeled on how the subconscious actually takes in new beliefs. It gives you three ways in.

1. Immersive guidance. Press play and let a narrator walk you through the whole session. You picture scenes, notice what you feel, and reflect, with no scrolling through affirmations one by one. You can reparent your inner child, have a conversation with your future self, step into the feeling of a wish that's already come true, or get gentle support when anxiety, heartbreak or grief hits hard.

2. The six-step deep practice. It starts with relaxation, breathing and a body scan. Then it follows a six-step psychological path:

  1. Notice. See the roots behind your emotions and old patterns.
  2. Understand & accept. Understand yourself, and accept who you are right now.
  3. Release. Let go of beliefs that don't fit you anymore.
  4. Build. Build new beliefs that support the person you are today.
  5. Act. Make new choices and take action, so the change shows up in your life.
  6. Integrate. Let the new belief, feeling and action become one, naturally.

The six steps stay the same and the sentences change every time, so it never gets stale.

3. At your own pace. Skip straight to steps 4–6 and move through the affirmations one line at a time. You can pause, reflect, or save the ones that hit home.

Where to start: begin with immersive guidance, go deeper with the six-step practice, then keep it going at your own pace.

Support around the clock

  • 3-minute resets. Pick one of ten feelings (overwhelmed, lonely, down, anxious, and more) and get back to calm fast.
  • 10-minute morning alignment. Start the day clear, focused and in a good headspace.
  • 10-minute evening wind-down. Reflect, shake off the day, and come home to yourself.
  • Today's Picks. Fresh affirmations three times a day, morning, afternoon and evening, based on the topics you follow.

Make it yours

Tell the AI guide what you need and it writes affirmations just for you, up to 60 words in English or 130 characters in Chinese. Or write your own. Mix those with lines you've saved from your practice, then pair them with original frequency music and a moving background. You end up with a practice that's completely yours.

Growth you can see

Every journey is made of three topics. Each time you finish a practice, AnMi, your companion, waters your growth tree in My Place. When the tree is fully grown, you unlock a reward. Growth feels light and fun, and it's easy to keep going.

Pass the warmth on

When you share an affirmation, AnMi delivers it for you, and you get an anime-style thank-you card back. Kindness keeps moving.

Designed to feel like home

The colors of the app follow the real time of day, the moon is drawn at tonight's actual phase, and every now and then a shooting star crosses the sky. In My Place, a stream runs past cranes, white doves, a deer and ducks, so opening the app feels like stepping into a quiet place to rest.

We want AnchorMind to be the gentle companion people actually want to come back to every day, where growth becomes a habit and life keeps getting a little lighter.

How we built it

React Native + Expo (TypeScript) for iOS and Android from one codebase, with Supabase for the content library and live config. RevenueCat runs the whole subscription layer: a single premium entitlement, the paywall offering, monthly and annual plans with a 7-day free trial, and receipt validation on both stores. Narration is voiced with Google Gemini text-to-speech, and AI-written affirmations use OpenAI. The app is available in English, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.

What's next

Google Play launch, home-screen widgets, and more topics and journeys.
