Anicca · iOS · Health & Wellness
you don't
have to be
okay right now.
Anicca is a quiet companion on your phone. When the spiral starts - at 11:47pm, in line at the pharmacy, the second you open Instagram - a single line of kindness arrives. You don't have to open an app. It finds you.
- iOS 15+
- No streaks
- No tracker
- No guilt
- Private by design

I. The premise
Every other affirmation app
waits for you to open it.
The spiral does not wait. It comes at midnight, at red lights, in the bathroom mirror. By the time you remember to open the journaling app, the moment has passed. Anicca was built backwards: the affirmation arrives at the spiral. Not a habit, not a streak - a knock on the door.
II. A day with Anicca
One line of kindness,
at the right moment.
Anicca learns the shape of your day. She doesn't bother you when you're fine - she shows up when the wave comes.

"You woke up tired. Today does not have to be efficient. It has to be lived."

"You re-read the message you sent. It was kind. Stop checking it."

"The story your mind is telling you at this hour is not the truth. Sleep is allowed to be the answer."
III. Three screens, three feelings
Built like a monastery,
moves like an app.
01
Tell it what hurts
Onboard in 90 seconds. Pick what you carry - anxiety, self-doubt, grief, late nights. Anicca calibrates to the exact shape of your weather.
02
It arrives at the spiral
Not a digest. Not a daily push at 8am. Anicca learns when your mind unravels and meets you there - once, briefly, gently.
03
A small lighter feeling
Tap to read. Thumb up if it lands. Cards become more you. Nothing to track. Nothing to lose.
IV. The voice
Lines you might
actually keep.
Real Anicca cards. Tap a thumb up if it lands; the model writes more like that one.
"You are allowed to disappoint people who never asked how you were."
boundaries · 22:14
"The version of you from a year ago would be proud you are still here."
self-love · 09:02
"A storm is not a sign that you built the house wrong."
grief · 03:38
"You can want the thing and not be ready for the thing on the same day."
manifestation · 07:55
"Rest is not the reward for finishing. It is the requirement for continuing."
burnout · 18:40
"Anicca means impermanence. The feeling you are in right now is also passing."
anxiety · 23:47

VII. Questions
Things people ask.
- 01
Is this religious?
Anicca borrows one Pāli word - the Buddhist word for impermanence. The app is for anyone who wakes up tired. No belief required.
- 02
Will I get notified all day?
1-3 notifications per day, max. You can pause everything from the lock-screen. Quiet hours are respected automatically.
- 03
Is my data shared?
No. Onboarding stays on-device where possible. The model never sees your messages, photos, or contacts. Cancel and your records are deleted within 30 days.
- 04
What if I miss a day?
Nothing happens. There are no streaks, no scores, no shame. Anicca will be there tomorrow.
- 05
Can I use it offline?
Yes. Your reading feed is cached on the device - open it without signal at the worst moment of the day.
- 06
Why is it AI-personalised?
Because grief, burnout, and self-doubt sound different in different people. Thumb up the lines that land; the model writes more like those.
VIII. Take it with you
"Sabbe sankhārā aniccā."
All conditioned things shall pass.
Including the feeling you are sitting in right now. Anicca is the small voice that reminds you of that - at the exact hour you forget.
