How it works
Daily Affirmation Reminders That Keep Arriving
A reminder that quietly stops after three weeks is worse than no reminder, so this is the part of Selune with the most engineering behind it.
Free to download. One reminder a day at no cost.
The failure nobody notices
iOS holds a maximum of 64 pending local notifications per app. That number is the whole story behind reminders that fade out. An app that schedules a year of daily affirmations in one pass fills the queue immediately, the alerts fire one by one, and when the last one has fired there is nothing left. No crash, no error, no message. The reminders simply stop, and most people assume they turned something off.
What Selune does instead
A rolling horizon, never more than 50 pending
Selune keeps at most 50 scheduled reminders and never reaches further than fourteen days ahead. That leaves headroom under the system limit even if iOS rounds or merges anything.
Rebuilt from now, not extended
The queue is not topped up. It is recomputed from the current moment every time the app launches or comes to the foreground, every time a reminder is delivered, and from a background refresh task registered with iOS. Every one of those events produces a fresh future horizon, so an empty queue is not a state the app can be left in while reminders are switched on.
The tap lands on the right words
Each scheduled reminder carries the identifier of the affirmation it is showing. Tapping the notification opens that card, in your language, in your theme. The moment does not get lost between the Lock Screen and the app.
Setting your own rhythm
You choose a window rather than fixed clock times, and the app places the reminders inside it.
- How many. One a day in the free version, up to ten a day with Pro.
- Between which hours. A start and an end time. Reminders never fall outside it, and never overnight unless you allow it.
- Spread or scattered. Evenly spaced across the window with a small deterministic nudge, or placed at random inside it.
The onboarding prefills all of this from what you say you want to work on. Choose sleep and you get one reminder in the hour after nine in the evening. Choose focus and productivity and you get three across the working day. Choose letting go or calm and you get two leaning into the evening. Everything is editable afterwards in Settings.
If reminders are not arriving at all, check Settings, Notifications, Selune on your iPhone. iOS asks for permission once, and an app cannot ask again after a no.
One reliable reminder a day costs nothing. Ten a day come with Pro.
Reminder questions
Why do affirmation reminders stop arriving after a few weeks?
iOS keeps only the 64 soonest pending local notifications per app. An app that schedules months of reminders in one go fills that queue, the queue drains as the alerts fire, and nothing refills it. The reminders end without an error and without a message.
How many reminders a day can Selune send?
One a day in the free version and up to ten a day with Selune Pro. You also set the window they may fall in and whether they are spread evenly or placed at random inside it.
What happens when I tap a Selune reminder?
It opens the exact affirmation the notification showed you, not a generic feed. Each scheduled reminder carries the affirmation identifier with it, and the app routes straight to that card.
