Ideas don't change you. What you do next does.

No. Self opens to a feed of ideas that are ready to act on — no book, no reading time, no setup. Capturing from your own books is a Self+ feature, for when you want your personal highlights in the same loop.

No. Feed ideas are paraphrased principles inspired by great books. Self names sources for context but never publishes copyrighted passages. Your own photo captures are the place for quoted highlights.

It shows one of the idea's three ready-made actions: one small, concrete step with a suggested date you can change. Tap “Show another” to see a different one, then save the one you'll actually do. With Self+, the button reads “Get personalized actions” and each action is rewritten to fit your goal.

The whole library: all 568 ideas, all three ready-made actions on each, Today's Focus, your actions list, streaks and progress. No account, no trial timer, no card.

Six things. It rewrites an idea's action to fit the goal you set during onboarding, writes your completion and share text, reads the text off a photo of a book page, writes an action from that text, looks across your completed actions for patterns once you've completed enough of them, and translates each of those Growth Insights into the app's other language. Photo capture, the action written from it, and Growth Insights are Self+; a free registered account gets one personalised action and one completion text. It doesn't coach you, and it's not a substitute for advice from a person.

You tell Self how much time you have in a day, and your feed is ranked around that. Some actions take a few minutes. Some take an evening. You choose which one you take.

No. A tracker follows habits you've already decided on. Self supplies the idea, turns it into a single action with a date, and keeps the record once it's done.

Nothing is lost. Actions that slip past stay in your list and Self reminds you gently. Streaks are there to notice, not to punish you.

Not to use Self. As a guest, your progress is still saved to our servers, but only the phone you started on can get back to it: change phones, or uninstall the app on Android, and it can't be restored. Sign in with Apple (on iPhone) or Google (on iPhone and Android) to keep it across devices. Signing in to an account you already have opens that account instead, and your guest progress isn't moved over.

On our servers, on every plan and for guests too — hosted by Google (Firebase) in the United States, with a copy cached on your phone so the app opens quickly. Signing in is what lets you get back to it from any device; a lost guest session can't be restored. You can delete your data from inside the app at any time.

Yes. The app and all 568 ideas, with their ready-made actions, are in English and Romanian. Anything the AI writes for you is in the language you use the app in. The one exception is an action from a photographed page: it keeps the page's language, and so does its completion text.

Yes. Cancel in the store that took the payment — App Store account settings on iPhone, Google Play account settings on Android. You keep Self+ until the period you have paid for ends, and your free plan carries on as it was.
