Most of those checks are automatic.
You’re bored.
You’re stressed.
You have 30 seconds between things.
Your brain wants a break.
So you reach for your phone.
What was supposed to be a quick reset can easily turn into 20 or 30 minutes of scrolling without you even realizing it.
And instead of feeling recharged, you come back more scattered, more drained, and full of other people’s thoughts, lives, opinions, and content.
Align First takes one of those automatic reaches and turns it into a moment to focus on something you actually want instead.
Tell Align First what you want, answer five quick questions about it, and get a personalized set of affirmations built from your answers.
Read your affirmations or listen to them in audio form whenever you want to reconnect with your Future Self.
The idea is simple: use the moments you normally reach for social media to practice becoming your Future Self.
You open Instagram, TikTok, Candy Crush, or another distracting app. Align First steps in and shows you a lock screen so you don’t automatically start zoning out.
Tell Align First what you want to create, then answer five quick questions about it.
Align First uses your answers to create a personalized set of affirmations. Edit any affirmation, add your own, and reorder them so the set feels exactly right for you.
Read them or listen in audio form to align to your future self which earns you scroll time.
Once you’ve aligned, you earn screen time to use when you choose.
Decide how much of your earned time you want to unlock, and a countdown lets you know when it’s up.
Set a daily maximum to reduce your daily average screen time.
No. You choose which apps to gate, complete your affirmations to earn screen time, and decide how much of that earned time you want to unlock.
You can also set a daily maximum for how much time you want to spend on those apps.
Complete your affirmation session to earn time on the distracting apps you’ve chosen to gate. You decide how quickly you earn it: one affirmation can equal 1 minute, 45 seconds, 30 seconds, or 15 seconds of screen time.
Then choose how much of your earned time you want to unlock. A countdown lets you know when your time is up.
Anything you want.
The soulmate relationship. A specific project at work. A new house. A fitness goal. An unexpected $5,000. Being surprised with flowers just because. A trip you’ve been dreaming about.
You decide.
Name what you want and answer five questions about it. Align First uses your answers to create a personalized affirmation set that you can edit, add to, and reorder.
