Frequently Asked Questions

Your Daily Shift

What — and who — is this app for?

Your Daily Shift is for people who are already doing some form of inner work — mindset, belief, affirmation practice, personal development — and who feel the gap between having an insight and actually living it. You’ve read the books. You’ve had the moments. But Monday arrives and the old patterns return. This app exists to close that gap, by delivering the right belief or practice to you at the right time, on repeat, until it takes hold.

This is not a productivity tool, a habit tracker, or a content library to browse. It’s a channel between who you are today and who you are choosing to become — one Shift at a time.

How much does it cost? Where’s the pricing info?

Your free account is yours at no cost — and that won’t change. A paid tier is coming that will unlock additional features, including new delivery channels. (Does Future-You check text messages? We’ve got you covered.) We’ll share the details when they’re ready.

The Library is full of old books — what’s the deal with that?

Public domain books are a treasure trove of wisdom, and a few have been added here to offer immediate value to new members. They also showcase the range of what a Series can be — sequential journeys, shuffle-friendly collections, different paces and tones.

But the Library is just getting started. A Series can be inspired by anything: a poem, a dream, a bootcamp program, a personal experience, a vision for where Future-You is headed. As the Creator platform opens up, the Library will grow with Series authored by teachers, coaches, healers, and anyone with something worth delivering to their community.

Are all Shifts text-only? What about some color, pictures — spice it up a bit?

For now, yes — Shifts are delivered as text. Richer templates and more expressive formats are on the roadmap, and the Creator platform will give Creators room to bring their own voice and style to how their Series look and feel.

That said, we’ll be intentional about what we add and when. This app isn’t designed to compete for your attention — it’s designed to hold one idea in front of you long enough for it to actually land. Every enhancement we consider will be weighed against that goal. More isn’t better if it turns a moment of practice into a moment of distraction.

What’s the deal with Creators? How do I become one?

You may have spotted hints of it around the site — the cat is mostly out of the bag. Your Daily Shift is building toward two membership tiers, with the second designed specifically for Creators: teachers, coaches, healers, authors, and anyone with ideas worth delivering to their community over time.

We’re not quite ready to open the doors, but if you’re curious, get your name on the list and we’ll share more as it comes together. I want to be a Creator →

Can I use this to send Shifts to a friend?

This app is built on a simple belief: real change comes from within. We don’t advocate trying to change others — that’s not what this is for. Your Daily Shift is a conversation between Today-You and Future-You. If you think a friend could benefit from that same conversation, tell them about the app. We’ve made it easy to sign up and get going straight away.

I love this idea. How can I support you?

Sign up. Use it. Then tell us how it’s going — the wins, the struggles, the moments where something landed. Stories like that are fuel. And if you know someone who could use a better relationship with their future self, share the app with them. That might be the most meaningful thing you can do.

How will my data be used? Will it be fed into AI systems to train them?

The content you write for yourself — your personal Shifts — will never be shared with or fed into any AI system. Full stop. The wonderful humans this platform was built for created that content for themselves, and it stays that way.

The one edge case worth naming: like any web platform, it’s possible that an automated bot could register and access content visible to members — including published Series and Shifts in the Library. That’s outside our control. What iswithin our control is our policy, and our policy is simple: we don’t send your data to AI systems, period.

What is your stance on AI-generated content?

We believe the content you practice with should be trustworthy and clearly labeled. Every Series in the Library is marked if AI was used to write any of its Shifts, and you can filter AI-generated content out entirely. Read our full AI policy →

Was this app built with AI (“vibe coded”)?

The developer behind Your Daily Shift has over 20 years of application development experience. AI tools were used as a collaborator in the build process — for code assistance, drafting, and problem-solving — but the architecture, decisions, and direction are human-led. Read our full AI policy →
