Terms

Plain language, no surprises. By using Ballast — the app or this website — you agree to what's below.

Not medical care

Ballast provides affirmations for support on a hard day. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not a substitute for care from a qualified professional. Do not use it in place of help for a medical or mental-health condition. If you are in crisis or may harm yourself, contact your local emergency number or a crisis line in your country right away.

Using the content

The affirmations and text are provided for your personal use. You're welcome to read them, save them, and share an individual line. Please don't scrape, republish, or redistribute the library wholesale.

The app "as is"

Ballast is provided as is, without warranties of any kind. We work to keep it accurate and useful, but we can't guarantee it will fit every situation or be error-free. To the extent the law allows, Ballast and its makers aren't liable for any harm arising from use of the app or this website.

Purchases

The app is free for the first three days you open it — all of it, notification and widget included. After that it is paid: $5.99 a month, or $29.99 a year. The seven-day free trial comes with the yearly plan only — the monthly plan starts charging immediately. Both plans renew until you cancel, and a trial converts to a paid year unless you cancel before it ends. Cancel either one from Settings › Apple ID › Subscriptions. Every affirmation is readable in full on this website, free. Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store and are subject to Apple's terms; refunds are handled by Apple.

Changes and contact

If these terms change, the updated version will appear on this page. Questions: dailyballast@proton.me.
