App Concept

Welcome to Toxic Affirmations—where encouragement meets delightfully wicked sarcasm. Ever felt like regular affirmations were just too fluffy, cheerful, or annoyingly optimistic? Us too. It’s time to swap that tired positivity for a punchier, brutally honest version.

Each day, you’ll receive five deliciously mean-spirited yet oddly uplifting affirmations designed to give you a confidence boost with a mischievous grin. Whether you’re plotting world domination or just surviving another Zoom call, our toxic affirmations have your back—and your sharp tongue.

Features include:

Daily Dose of Toxicity: Get 5 snarky affirmations every day, fresh from the oven of spiteful inspiration.

Widgets: Keep your toxic motivation right on your home screen—never far from a healthy ego-boost.

Push Notifications: Because insults disguised as motivation should absolutely interrupt your day.

Easy Sharing: Spread the joy (and pain) with friends and frenemies alike. After all, toxicity loves company.
