Affirmation reminders and an iPhone widget

Reminders that send your own lines

A Moti reminder is a notification that carries one of your affirmations. You decide how often and when: anywhere from 1 to 20 a day, spread within a time window you set, so nothing arrives at 3 a.m. unless you want it to. Each reminder can run every day, on weekdays only or on weekends only.

You also choose where the lines come from: all your collections, your Saved lines, or one specific collection. A collection made for a stressful project can keep you company on workdays, while your Saved lines cover the weekend.

• Frequency: 1 to 20 lines a day.
• Timing: within a time window you choose.
• Days: every day, weekdays or weekends.
• Source: all collections, Saved, or one collection.
• Free plan: up to two reminders; paid plans allow more.

The home screen widget

The iPhone home screen widget shows one of your affirmations and changes to a new line every hour. It comes in three sizes, small, medium and large, so it can sit beside your other apps or take up a calm corner of its own. Color themes let you match it to your home screen.

Because it refreshes on its own, the widget asks nothing of you. You glance at your phone for the time and a line you chose is there too. The widget is included on every plan, Free too.

Setting them up so they help

More is not always better. Many people start with a few reminders at moments that already have a natural pause, such as after waking up, at lunch and in the early evening, and adjust from there. If a reminder starts to feel like noise, lower the number or narrow the window.

Lines you have saved with the heart tend to work best for reminders, because they have already passed your own test. As you save more over time, your reminders get more personal without extra effort.

Good to know

The widget is for iPhone, since Moti is on iPhone for now; an Android version of the app is coming soon. Moti is in English only for now. There is no Apple Watch or iPad app.

How to set up reminders and the widget

1. Create at least one collection in Moti, and save a few lines you love with the heart.
2. Open reminders, choose how many lines a day and the time window.
3. Pick the days, then the source: all collections, Saved or one collection.
4. On your home screen, add the Moti widget in small, medium or large.
5. Choose a color theme, and adjust the reminders after a week if needed.
