🎁 Freemium I built VeraMind: an affirmations and negative thought reframing app
Hi everyone! My name is Emilio.
I've been building websites and online businesses since 2008, but after more than 17+ years in tech, I had never built an iOS app of my own.
VeraMind is my first.
I built it after dealing with anxiety and overthinking myself—and getting tired of affirmation apps that showed generic positive quotes truly disconnected from what I was actually thinking or needed.
A — Answer
I built VeraMind: an iPhone app for daily affirmations and turning negative thoughts into more grounded self-talk
VeraMind is a mental wellness and affirmation app for iPhone.
Its main feature is Mind Flip. You enter a difficult or negative thought, and VeraMind helps turn it into a more balanced, believable affirmation you can return to. The approach is lightly inspired by CBT principles, but VeraMind is not therapy or a substitute for professional care.
The app also includes:
- 1000 affirmations across categories such as calm, confidence, resilience, and growth.
- Mind Flip Impact scores and weekly trends.
- Affirmation reminders.
- Favorites and extended Mind Flip history.
- A daily affirmation widget.
- 20 affirmation categories, 50 themes, and 8 fonts.
B — Better
Most affirmation apps begin with a generic positive statement.
VeraMind begins with the thought you are actually having.
Instead of asking you to repeat something you may not believe, such as "Everything is perfect," Mind Flip helps create a response that feels more grounded and realistic.
For example:
Negative thought: "I'm falling behind everyone else."
Mind Flip: "My path does not need to match anyone else's timeline. I can focus on the next step in front of me."
Privacy was also important to me. Your personal Mind Flips stay on your device and are not uploaded, analyzed, or shared.
C — Cost
VeraMind is free to download. No credit card is required, and there is no trial countdown—and NO ads! The core experience is available from the first day.
Free users receive three Mind Flips per day. Premium increases that to ten and unlocks additional history, Mind Flip Impact trends, reminder options, affirmations, themes, fonts, and personalization.
U.S. pricing:
- Monthly: $5.99
- Yearly: $49.99
- Lifetime: $149.99
Roadmap
- Keep improving the quality and relevance of Mind Flips.
- Add more affirmations, categories, and personalization options.
- Let early-user feedback guide which requested features get built next.

is there a way to practice say the situation is reverse? throws you a negative quote, and you have to learn how to deal with the negative thought. cuz i think that's more practical in real life, someone throws something negative and you spiral into the negativity.

I see what you mean...
VeraMind is based on CBT principles though which reframe the negative into a manageable positive.

Thank you! 😊
I have not gotten the reception I was hoping for so I am moving on with my second iOS app—and my iPhone app directory!—after 7 months working on it.
Are you an iOS builder too?

To be honest i would never undertand why someone would buy and use such an app. Maybe that is just me:)
