SOMOTE is a Windows app that floats a person's chosen affirmations over everything on their screen — dialed anywhere from plainly visible to a 17-millisecond flash — turning the display they already look at all day into quiet, continuous repetition of words they choose. It requires no account, collects no data, and never interrupts: there is nothing to open, dismiss, or keep up with. Four curated starter sets are free forever, with no account; writing your own phrases — unlimited playlists, in your own words — comes with SOMOTE Plus, a subscription at $3.99/month or $39.99/year. SOMOTE launched in July 2026 and is built by a solo founder; macOS and Android versions are in the works. somote.app
A one-person company betting against everything the wellness industry monetizes: no engagement metrics, no notifications, no data, nothing to open — software whose whole ambition is to be forgotten while it works. $3.99 a month, cancel anytime.
The mirror method fails because it demands conviction on your worst mornings. This asks for nothing: five minutes of setup on a Sunday, and your words carry you the rest of the year.
Fifty years of psychology — Zajonc's mere-exposure effect, self-affirmation theory, priming studies that moved real exam scores — point at one lever: what repeats, wins. This is that literature as a product.
Zero telemetry, zero accounts, local-only data, near-zero CPU — and simply a beautiful piece of Windows software in a category dominated by web wrappers.
We use willpower all day, every day. It's great for accomplishing short-term goals. However, deep-seated beliefs live somewhere I couldn't reach by looking at myself in the mirror and saying things that just didn't match what I'd been told and how I'd shown up throughout life.
It was only a little over a month of using this method when I realized things were shifting so drastically that I became uncomfortable. It was like being swept up by a huge wave I couldn't control and landing on the shoreline of my dream life, which was dreamier than I ever imagined (don't worry, there were also plenty of challenges - we stagnate without them).
I created SOMOTE as an aesthetically refined take on the old, clunky app that cost hundreds of dollars upfront, plus a $20 monthly subscription.
I offer SOMOTE to you so you can take control of your mind and replace old ways of thinking.
Available for interviews, quotes on the psychology of repetition and ambient computing, and demos. Review license keys for journalists — always, free, no strings.
