A positive affirmation is a short sentence, in the first person and the present tense, that you repeat to change the way you talk to yourself. For example: “I deserve the gentleness I give”. In allia, each affirmation appears on a card. You read it, swipe to the next one, and keep the ones that speak to you as favourites.

There is no rule, the idea is to make it a simple appointment. Each morning, you share how you feel, then read the card offered to you. You can read it aloud, keep it as a favourite, or find it on your home screen with widgets. allia reminds you of your affirmations at the rhythm you choose, so reading stays a moment you look forward to rather than a chore.

No sentence changes a life in a few days, and we do not promise it. What they can do is slowly build a gentler way of talking to yourself, as long as you read them regularly. That is why allia relies on two things: repetition, with reminders at your pace, and words that ring true to you, chosen for your personality, your mood and your season of life.

The 369 method means repeating your intention 3 times in the morning, 6 times in the afternoon and 9 times in the evening. Those repetitions give the practice its name. In allia, the 369 rhythm honours those numbers: three repetitions in the morning, six in the afternoon, nine in the evening. If you prefer, you can also choose morning and evening, or set your own reminders.

It rests on a scientific base, but it does not claim to be a clinical test. The questionnaire is adapted from the LEFFI (Less Evaluative Five Factor Inventory, Wood, Anglim & Horwood, 2021), a public-domain personality inventory. It measures five broad personality traits, a model psychology research has used for decades. The LEFFI has 50 questions, worded to judge as little as possible so you can answer without looking for the “right” answer. We kept 20, four per trait, and never rewrote them to change their meaning. From your answers, allia names five axes: Imagination, Constancy, Zest, Heart and Sensitivity. Your two strongest axes form one of the ten portraits. Your full scores, meanwhile, are used to choose your affirmations every day. But since we only use part of the questionnaire, results published on the full instrument do not apply to allia as they are. Your portrait is a suggestion you may or may not recognise, not a diagnosis, and no portrait says who you are.

They are only used to personalise your affirmations. They are never shared with anyone.

Yes. allia offers widgets you can place on your iPhone home screen and lock screen, so you can see your affirmations without even opening the app. You can also change the theme of the app and of your widgets: sky, flowers, night…

You choose your rhythm: the 369 rhythm, morning and evening, or your own settings with the number of reminders and the time window. You can change it whenever you like. Notifications ask for your permission. If you prefer to wait, your rhythm is saved and you can turn them on later.

No. allia is a positive affirmations app. It is neither a medical device nor a therapy, and it makes no diagnosis. If you are going through a very hard time, talk to a health professional or someone you trust. allia can keep you company day to day, not replace them.

allia is available on iPhone and Android.
