Help for your practice, from a real person.

Find quick answers for getting started, iCloud sync, Premium and billing. Because Manifestly cannot see your private content or account history, a few device details help us solve issues faster.

Getting started

Build a simple daily practice with four core tools. There is no account to create before you begin.

  1. Step 1 · Gratitude

    Add your first note

    Open Manifestly and tap the + button on the home screen to add notes.

  2. Step 2 · Affirmation

    Tap the circle to affirm

    On the Affirmation screen, tap the center circle to increase your affirmation count, or tap Change Affirmation to switch to a new one.

  3. Step 3 · Vision board

    Upload your images

    On the Vision Board screen, tap the image icon to upload photos from your library and build your visual goals.

  4. Step 4 · Identity

    Create an identity card

    On the Identity screen, tap + to create a new card — customize the name, title and avatar to match your future self.

Optional: turn on iCloud sync

Settings → Sync keeps your content available on every device signed in with the same Apple ID. It is also your only backup.

Common questions

The app is not working as expected

Force-quit Manifestly and reopen it, then check that you are on the latest version in the App Store. If the problem persists, write to [email protected] with your device model and iOS version — it saves a round trip.

Premium features are not unlocked

Open the app and use Restore Purchases. Make sure you are signed in with the same Apple ID you bought the subscription with. If it still does not unlock, send us the date of purchase and we will help.

iCloud sync is not working

Check that Settings → Sync is on in Manifestly, that iCloud Drive is enabled in your iOS settings, and that both devices are signed in to the same Apple ID. Sync runs through your own iCloud account, so a full iCloud storage quota will stop it.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Subscriptions are managed by Apple, not by us: Settings → your Apple ID → Subscriptions. Cancelling there stops the renewal; your content stays on your device.

How do I get a refund?

Refunds go through Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. Developers cannot issue refunds directly. If Apple declines and you think something went wrong, write to us and we will help you chase it.

Can I get my data out?

Your content is already on your device rather than on our servers. If you uninstall the app without iCloud sync enabled, it is gone and we cannot restore it — so turn sync on if you want a backup.

Is Manifestly really free?

Yes, and it is not a trial. The free plan has no expiry and no ads: 7 gratitude notes, 5 affirmations, 5 vision boards and 3 identity cards, with the full affirmation library. Premium removes those limits and adds iCloud sync.

What does Premium add?

Unlimited notes, affirmations, vision boards and identity cards, plus iCloud sync and backup across your devices. Price is shown in the App Store and in the app. See the features page for a comparison table.

What happens to my content if I stop paying?

Nothing is deleted. Your existing notes, boards and cards stay on your device; you simply cannot add new ones beyond the free limits until you resubscribe.

Subscriptions and billing

Manifestly Premium is managed entirely by Apple.

  • Start or cancel a subscription

    Settings → your Apple ID → Subscriptions, on your device.

  • Restore a purchase

    Use the Restore Purchases button inside the app, signed in with the Apple ID you bought it with.

  • Request a refund

    Through Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. Developers cannot issue refunds directly.

Privacy policy

What we store, what we do not collect, and why there is nothing on our servers.
