Questions people actually ask

An iPhone app that creates personalized affirmation playlists from your goals. You type what you’re working on, AI composes affirmations from research in psychology and neuroscience, then renders them as audio with a professional voice and background you choose. Press play. Listen.

Three steps: (1) Type your intent in plain language (“I want to stay calm under pressure at work”), (2) AI generates 20–40 affirmations specific to your situation, (3) Choose a voice, background, and duration, then listen. The whole process takes under 5 minutes.

Download and get 35 free credits — no credit card required. That’s enough for about 3 complete playlists. If you like it, subscribe for $4.99/month (Founder’s Price, locked in for the first 1,000 subscribers). No annual option during the founder period.

Yes. New subscribers get a 7-day free trial. You also get 35 free credits just for downloading — no card required, no time limit. The free credits aren’t a trial; they’re yours regardless of whether you subscribe.

iPhone only, for now. Requires iOS 16+. Android is planned but doesn’t have a timeline yet.

Credits are spent when you create new content: generating affirmations from your intent costs 1 credit, rendering them into audio costs 9 credits, and regenerating affirmations costs 1 credit. A complete playlist (generate + render) is 10 credits. Listening to existing playlists is always free and unlimited.

200 credits/month gives you roughly 20 new playlists. Most people create 2–5 playlists and listen to them repeatedly for weeks. Credits are for creating, not listening.

No. Unused credits roll over month to month, up to a 500-credit cap. No “use it or lose it.”

Yes. Subscribers can purchase credit packs at $4.99 for 200 credits (same per-credit rate as the subscription). No premium for being a power user.

You keep all playlists you’ve created. You can listen to them forever. You just can’t generate new ones without credits. If you resubscribe later, your library is still there.

The first 1,000 subscribers get $4.99/month locked in permanently (as long as they stay subscribed). After 1,000, new subscribers pay $7.99/month. If you’re reading this and the offer is still here, you’re early.

The composition layer uses the latest generative AI models, drawing on research in self-compassion, neuroplasticity, sports psychology, identity-based change, and cognitive behavioral frameworks. The voice rendering uses professional-grade text-to-speech. The AI does the research-synthesis labor; you direct what gets practiced.

No. Every set is composed from your specific intent. Type “I want to stop catastrophizing about my kid’s future” and you get affirmations for that. Not “You are calm and at peace.” The specificity is the point.

Yes. After generation, you can add, remove, or rewrite any affirmation before rendering. The AI gives you a starting point; you have full control.

The most common feedback we get is the opposite: people are surprised how specifically the affirmations apply to their situation. The AI draws on research frameworks and your stated intent to produce language that feels written for you, because it was.

83 voices across accents (American, British, Australian, South African, Indian, and more) and styles (warm narrator, steady coach, gentle guide, energetic motivator). Male, female, and non-binary options.

Yes. The app lets you preview any voice with sample text before committing to a render.

62 soundscapes across 8 categories: acoustic guitar, rain, ocean, binaural beats, ambient pads, nature sounds, white noise, and more. Each background is matched to session contexts.

Eight modes that adjust the delivery: Walk, Sleep, Meditation, Workout, Focus, Nap, Chores, Anytime. Each context changes the pacing, silence between affirmations, and overall energy. Same words, different experience.

You choose: 5 to 60 minutes. The app fills the duration by repeating your affirmations at the pace set by your context. A 5-minute focus session and a 45-minute sleep session use the same affirmations but feel completely different.

Subliminal: a barely-audible second layer of your affirmations beneath the background sound. Binaural beats: frequency-specific tones that some research associates with different brain states (delta for sleep, alpha for relaxation). Both are optional toggles.

As often as you want — repetition is the mechanism, not a rigid schedule. Fit it into your life: morning walks, workouts, commutes, before sleep. Pick music you love. Regenerate your affirmations regularly to keep them fresh. Try different voices. Most people find it a genuine pleasure — calming, energizing, time flies. The best practice is the one you actually do.

Yes. Generate a share link, send it to anyone. They can copy your playlist into their own library and customize it: different voice, different background, different duration. Same affirmations, personalized experience.

Whatever you want — short or long, specific or broad. “Get promoted” works. So does “I want to stop catastrophizing about my kid’s future and trust that I’m doing enough as a parent.” The more specific your intent, the more specific your affirmations. But simple works too. Start with whatever’s on your mind.

Not strictly — but there’s real overlap. Traditional meditation involves observing your thoughts without attachment. Affirmation practice is about deliberately choosing thoughts and reinforcing them. We also have a dedicated Meditation mode: it guides you into a meditative state, slows the cadence, delivers affirmations while you’re in that receptive state, then brings you gently back out — similar in structure to guided meditation recordings on YouTube or Insight Timer. It’s not a substitute for a dedicated meditation practice, but it can be a meaningful complement to one.

No. Neuralingual is a self-directed practice tool. It’s not a clinical intervention and doesn’t replace professional help. If you’re dealing with clinical depression, PTSD, or suicidal ideation, please work with a therapist. This tool can complement treatment but should never replace it.

The research says: it depends on how they’re done. Generic positive statements can backfire for people with low self-esteem (Wood et al., 2009). Affirmations that are specific, believable, and self-compassionate produce measurable benefits (Cascio et al., 2016; Neff, 2003). Neuralingual is designed around the version that works.

Your intents (what you type), your generated affirmations, and basic usage data (which playlists you listen to, how often). We don’t sell data. We don’t share it with third parties for advertising. The privacy policy has the full details.

No. Your intents and playlists are private by default. Only you can see them unless you explicitly share a playlist via a share link.

On servers we control (Railway infrastructure). Audio files are stored in cloud storage (Cloudflare R2). Standard encryption in transit and at rest.

Creating playlists requires an internet connection (AI generation and audio rendering are cloud-based). For playback, your device may cache recently played audio, which can allow offline listening in practice — but we don’t guarantee it. Use the save button on any playlist to download the audio file to your device if you need reliable offline access.

Not yet. iPhone first. Android is planned but doesn’t have a public timeline.

The app runs on iPhone and iPad. The website (neuralingual.com) is for information, the blog, and shared playlist previews. The full creation and listening experience is in the iOS app.

Yes. Neuralingual has an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI assistants create and manage playlists programmatically. If you use Claude, Cursor, or another MCP-compatible tool, you can create affirmation playlists from your AI assistant.
