A day with Maxims.

It's not an app you sit with for an hour. It meets you on your Lock Screen, between meetings, and as you fall asleep.

A minute here. A minute there. Every day.

Repetition is what changes your mindset. Seeing and saying the same words again and again, across the day, is how you rewrite the voice in your head.

What you're building

Plus discipline, faith, stoicism, purpose, masculinity, femininity

  • Confidence

    “I trust myself to handle what comes.”

  • Self-esteem

    “I am worth the effort I put into myself.”

  • Resilience

    “I bend. I don't break.”

  • Focus

    “My attention goes where my goals are.”

  • Mental strength

    “Pressure is a privilege I've earned.”

  • Your goals

    Tell Maxims what you're chasing, in your own words. A promotion, a marathon, a better marriage. Your feed is written around it.

Personalization

Make it yours.

Pick a background. Set the font, size, color and alignment. Your theme follows you to your Home Screen and Lock Screen, so the words always look the way you want to see them.

FAQ

What is Maxims?

Maxims is a complete system for building a stronger mindset. It combines personalized affirmations, timeless maxims, quotes and scripture with guided practice sessions, soundscapes, reminders and widgets. It all works together to help you change how you talk to yourself, a few minutes at a time. More practices, including meditation, are on the way.

Who is Maxims for?

Anyone who wants more confidence, self-esteem, resilience and focus. That includes students, parents, athletes, founders, and anyone going through a hard season. If you want a stronger inner voice, Maxims is built for you.

How does Maxims personalize my experience?

When you start, you tell Maxims about your goals, your mindset and what you want to work on. For Pro members, Maxims uses AI to write affirmations around that profile. Your feed reflects what you're actually chasing, not generic motivation.

How much time does it take?

A minute here, a minute there. Read an affirmation on your Lock Screen, take a short practice session in the morning, and fall asleep to a soundscape. Small, repeated doses throughout the day are what reshape your mindset.

Can I get Maxims on my Lock Screen?

Yes. Maxims has Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, plus reminders you can schedule throughout the day.

Is Maxims available on Android?

Not yet. Maxims is currently available on iPhone only.

Today is the day.
