Question 1

What is Brightly?

Accepted Answer

Brightly: Self-Improvement Hub is an iOS app that combines seven self-improvement tools in one system: habit tracking, goal setting, affirmations (text and voice), a gratitude journal, a wins tracker, progress photos, and the Wheel of Life life-balance check-in. It's built on identity-change research — lasting change starts with who you believe you are. Created by founder Lucie Stiburkova and launched in 2026.

Question 2

Is Brightly free?

Accepted Answer

Brightly's core tools are free, including your first Wheel of Life check-in, basic habits, affirmations, and the gratitude journal. Brightly Premium unlocks the full system — goals, wins tracker, progress photos, unlimited habits, custom reminders and deeper insights — for $8.99/month or $59.99/year, both with a 7-day free trial. A one-time lifetime option ($129) is available to the first 300 founding members.

Question 3

Who is Brightly for — and who is it not for?

Accepted Answer

Brightly is for anyone who wants to work on themselves — whether that means building your first habit, finding a little more gratitude in your day, or gently becoming the person you imagine. Use one tool or the whole connected system; it meets you where you are. Two honest notes: Brightly supports your wellbeing, but it isn't a medical or therapy app — and it isn't a quick fix. The tools are research-backed, and real change grows from your own small, consistent steps.

Question 4

What makes Brightly different from other habit or affirmation apps?

Accepted Answer

Three things. Identity-first: habits, wins, and goals anchor to "I am…" statements, because lasting change follows self-image change. One app instead of ten: seven connected tools share one system. Honest design: no fear-based streaks, no miracle promises, and your data is never sold.

Question 5

What is the Wheel of Life in Brightly?

Accepted Answer

The Wheel of Life is a life-balance check-in that rates eight areas of your life — Health, Career, Finances, Relationships, Family & Friends, Personal Growth, Fun & Recreation, and Environment — on a visual wheel, shows where you stand today, and tracks how your balance shifts over time. You can try it free in 90 seconds at brightlyapp.me/quiz.

Question 6

Is my data private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. What you write in Brightly — goals, gratitude, journal entries — is yours alone. Brightly never sells user data and runs no advertising tracking; your content is stored securely with per-user access. You can delete your account and all your data anytime in the app's Settings or at brightlyapp.me/delete-account.
