In short
Foreword is a manifestation app for iPhone that turns what you write or say into a spoken affirmation loop, in a studio voice or your own, with the words on screen. The daily practice is free; Premium is $5.99 a month or $29.99 a year in the US, with 7 days free.
Updated 29 October 2026 · Version 1.0.3
The loop
Your words, spoken on repeat.
Foreword shapes what you want into a long, single-desire loop: the words on screen line by line, a soft aura that moves with the voice, and a sound bed underneath.
Hear it in a studio voice, Ivy or Theo, or in your own. Read one short passage once, and any loop can be made in your voice. Your voice sample stays on your phone, and we don't keep a model of your voice.
Or start from the library: 105 loops, one desire each, with their own cover art. 33 are free.

Press and hold
Press and hold. Let it settle.
Rest a finger anywhere on the screen while you listen. The phone answers with a firm tap, then a soft hum under your finger that deepens the longer you stay. The words ripple out from your touch, and a glow follows your finger.
Foreword counts the time you hold each day, so the minutes add up.

The practices
Three ways to practice.
Pick the one that fits. Turn on reminders and they follow your practice, timed to your own day: a morning and a night listen, the three 369 rounds, or a page to write.
- Robotic loopsYour affirmations spoken on repeat. Listen on a walk, while you work, or as you fall asleep.
- ScriptingWrite your life as if it has already happened, one chapter at a time, and hear the chapter read back.
- The 369 methodOne line from your story, written three times in the morning, six in the afternoon and nine at night, for 33 days. Foreword keeps the count.

Your book
Your story, written by you.
Your story becomes a bound book, with your name on it and a cover you choose. Every chapter you write goes inside.
Tap to open it and swipe to leaf through the chapters. Press and hold it to change the cover.

Collections
Collections for morning and night.
Save the loops that say it right and group them your way: mornings, before sleep, before a big call.
A collection plays as a playlist, one loop after another, and starts again after the last. Some days, Today offers one of your own.
Saving loops and building collections are part of Premium.

Morning pages
Ten minutes, first thing.
Talk or write about whatever is on your mind before the day starts. Nothing gets tidied up.
Your pages stay private. Spoken pages are transcribed on your phone (best on iOS 26) and never reach our servers.
Typing your pages is free. Speaking them is part of Premium.

Moments and recaps
Keep every bit of good.
Catch the good things as they happen: a line, a photo, a voice note, a doodle over the picture. Over time they become proof.
Each month, Foreword gathers them into a recap, and your practice adds up to a “Your Foreword so far” card you can share.
Moments are free. Monthly recaps and the card are part of Premium.

Honest about what it does
Writing and hearing your own affirmations is a practice, not magic. Research on self-affirmation finds small, real gains in mood and self-view. Foreword gives that practice a shape you can keep. The research

Questions
Asked, answered.
How do I download Foreword?
Tap Download on the App Store on this page, or search for Foreword in the App Store on your iPhone. It's free to download and runs on iOS 17 or later.
What is Foreword?
A manifestation app for iPhone, built around your own words and your own voice. You speak or write what you want, and Foreword turns it into a spoken loop with the words on screen and a sound bed underneath, in a studio voice or your own. Around it sit three practices, robotic loops, scripting and the 369 method, plus your story as a bound book, collections, morning pages, moments and widgets.
Is it free?
Yes, the daily practice is free: all three practices, 33 loops, the studio voice Ivy, the 432 Hz and Rain sound beds, your own loops recorded in your own voice, typed morning pages, moments and widgets. Premium is $5.99 a month or $29.99 a year in the US, with 7 days free. It adds any loop read in your own voice (up to 15 a month), all 105 loops and all ten sound beds, Theo as a second studio voice, saving loops and building collections, speaking your morning pages, monthly recaps with the “Your Foreword so far” card, and widgets without the Foreword mark.
Will I get charged without warning, and is it hard to cancel?
Billing runs entirely through your Apple Account, so Apple sends the renewal reminders and you cancel in a couple of taps from Settings. You never have to email us. The 7-day trial can be cancelled any time before it converts.
If I switch phones, will I lose everything I recorded and wrote?
No. Your story, recordings, pages, moments and practice live on your device and in your own iCloud, so they come across when you set up a new phone. There's no account on our side that can drop your data during an update or a plan change.
Do I have to hear the same affirmations every day?
No. Your daily loop is drawn from a library of 105, matched to what your story is actually about, never a random deck. Your own words can take the center at any time: your 369 line and your scripting pages are always yours, and you can make a loop of your own. When it feels stale, change your story and the practice follows.
Can I use my own words instead of picking from a list?
Yes. Your story, your scripting pages and your 369 line are always in your own words. You can also write a loop of your own and record it in your own voice, free. Having a voice read it for you, a studio voice or your own, is part of Premium.
What's the difference between my own voice and AI narration?
Many apps now write a story or affirmation for you and read it in an AI narrator's voice. Foreword works the other way round: you write the words, and you can hear them in your own voice. Record a loop yourself, free, or read one short sample and let Premium read any loop in your voice, up to 15 a month. The studio voices, Ivy and Theo, are there for the days you'd rather not hear yourself.
What happens to my voice sample?
Your sample stays on your phone and in your iCloud until you delete it. When a loop is made in your voice, the sample and the words are sent to a third-party AI voice service for that one reading, and the service is set not to keep them. We don't keep a model of your voice. The finished loop lives on your phone, and you can delete the sample in Settings at any time. Read the privacy policy.
What are collections?
Groups of loops you put together your way: mornings, before sleep, before a big call. A collection plays as a playlist, one loop after another, and starts again after the last, and you can start one from a Home Screen widget. Saving loops and building collections are part of Premium.
What is the bound book?
Your story, kept as a book with your name on it and a cover you choose. Every chapter you write goes inside. Tap the book to open it and swipe to leaf through the chapters; press and hold it to change the cover.
What widgets does Foreword have?
Five. A line for you shows one affirmation from your story on your Home Screen or Lock Screen. What I'm calling in shows your story in your own words. Your practice shows what your practice asks of you right now. Play a collection starts your saved loops or a collection from your Home Screen. Add a moment opens a new moment from your Home Screen, your Lock Screen or Control Center.
Is Foreword available in Spanish, French or Italian?
Yes. Foreword is in English, Spanish, French and Italian, with loops read by a native voice in each language.
What are morning pages?
Ten minutes of talking or writing, first thing, about whatever is on your mind. Nothing gets tidied up. Typing your pages is free; speaking them is part of Premium. Spoken pages are transcribed on your phone (best on iOS 26) and never reach our servers.
What are moments and monthly recaps?
Moments keep the good things as they happen: a line, a photo, a voice note, a doodle over the picture. Over time they become proof. With Premium, Foreword gathers each month into a recap, and your practice adds up to a “Your Foreword so far” card you can share.
How is Foreword different from Stella, Aya or Innertune?
They do different things well. Stella writes stories of your dream life and reads them in an AI voice. Aya gives you an AI “dream self” that talks to you daily, and can clone your voice. Innertune has a very large library of recorded affirmations and lets you record your own. Foreword is built around your words: you write the desire, hear it looped with the words on screen, in your own voice or a studio voice, and keep a daily practice of scripting, the 369 method and morning pages. We don't keep a model of your voice. See the full comparison.
What is the 369 method?
Write one line three times in the morning, six in the afternoon and nine at night, traditionally for 33 days. Foreword distills the line from your own story and keeps the count for you. More on the 369 method.
Does manifestation actually work?
Research supports pieces of the practice, not magic. Self-affirmation studies show that reflecting on what matters to you changes brain activity and behavior, and writing about goals increases follow-through. Foreword is built on those mechanisms, attention, repetition and identity, and never promises outcomes. More in Learn.
Do I have to make an account, and what happens to my data?
There's no account, no ads and no tracking. Your story, recordings, pages and moments live on your phone and in your iCloud, and nothing is sold. A few features send your words or your voice sample to a third-party AI service to make a result, such as a loop read aloud; the privacy policy lists each one and what is kept. We count anonymous feature use to improve the app, never your words, voice or story. Stopping Premium never locks you out of what you already made. Read the privacy policy.
Is there an ad-free manifestation app?
Yes. Foreword has no ads and never sells your data. The daily practice is free and usable on its own; Premium adds the full library of 105 loops, loops in your own voice, collections and every sound bed, billed through Apple. More on ad-free manifestation apps.
Can I manifest while I sleep?
You can play a loop as you fall asleep. It runs over a sound bed with a sleep timer, so it ends on its own. It won't reprogram your mind overnight, but ending the day on your own words is a calm, repeatable ritual. It isn't a sleep treatment. More on manifesting while you sleep.
Can I create my own affirmation loops?
Yes. Write or speak a loop in your own words, then record it yourself, free. With Premium, a voice can read it for you instead: Ivy, Theo or your own, up to 15 a month. Making your own loops is what Foreword was built around.
How many affirmation loops does Foreword have?
105, across money, career, love, confidence, self-concept, calm, sleep, grief, forgiveness and more. Each one is a single desire, written in the present tense, with its own cover art. 33 are free. Your daily loop is matched to your own story rather than served at random.
What manifestation methods does Foreword support?
Three practices, each a complete daily ritual: robotic affirmation loops, scripting and the 369 method. Morning pages, moments and widgets sit alongside whichever you choose. How to choose one.
Does Foreword work on Android?
Foreword is an iPhone app for iOS 17 and later, available on the App Store. There's no Android version yet.
