Description

Alter is the first practical philosophy app. It leverages the wisdom of history's greatest minds, making it accessible through a unique blend of storytelling, personalization, and curated philosophical practices.

WHAT’S UNIQUE ABOUT ALTER?

Alter stands out because it provides curated and proactive journeys of bite-sized learning, assistant journaling, and historical AI personas that guide you. The interactive and highly engaging journey is backed by cognitive science frameworks. All of this creates a feeling of a sanctuary for personal growth, where art, science, and wisdom meet.

HOW ALTER WORKS

From day one of your Alter journey, you choose the challenges you’d like to address. We call them “goals”. You will also be given a survey so Alter can automatically create a customized journey for you.

It will combine bite-sized lessons with interactive exercises, chats with philosophers, reflections, and journals. Each day, you’ll engage with a piece of daily philosophy that leaves a lasting imprint on your mental landscape.

ACCESS TIMELESS WISDOM FOR MODERN-DAY CHALLENGES

Alter provides guidance and curated wisdom to live through challenging times. It helps improve emotional well-being, deal with anxiety, navigate loss of meaning, and even reflect on important things.

CULTIVATE INTELLIGENCE AND VIRTUE

Understanding yourself is one of life’s biggest challenges. Why do I make certain decisions? How can I live more meaningfully? What path aligns with my values? Alter helps you navigate these questions through philosophy, therapeutic journaling, and practical exercises narrated by history's greatest thinkers.

Top reasons to choose Alter:

- Struggling to find your life purpose
- Feeling uncertain in decision-making
- Trying to break a bad habit
- Working on finding love or a relationship
- Reducing anxiety
- Difficulty maintaining focus
- Low energy
- Interest in philosophy
- Need for a discipline boost
- Dealing with grief
- Looking for a worldview

Alter distills 2,500 years of wisdom into a concise experience that includes bite-size learning, journaling, and AI chats with historical figures. Daily philosophy nibble guides you toward meaningful growth and self-understanding that is most relevant for you at this point of time.

With Marcus Aurelius and Seneca guiding your mental strength, and Ayn Rand and Confucius helping you define your purpose, Alter merges therapeutic philosophy with journaling to help you answer life’s fundamental questions.

This blend of wisdom and modern therapy makes Alter a powerful tool for personal transformation.

Best app for self improvement

This has to be one of the best apps I have found for self development.

The daily questions have been a great addition to my day, making me more productive and more reflective. I use these questions every morning and evening, and I have seen great results in my productivity and enjoyment of life. It was Socrates who said “the unexamined life is not worth living”.

As someone who has suffered with mental health and procrastination, this app has been amazing for keeping me on track. Also the lessons taught by the philosophers add an extra element of wisdom and self reflection to live a prosperous life. I don’t use the AI chat with philosophers, while a nice addition I don’t think it is particularly needed in this app and could be why the app is on the expensive side, however, it is a unique selling point and could be very important to other users.

If I were to offer suggestions then it would be nice to incorporate Freud or Jung into the lessons and add a dream journal functionality. There will need to be a constant increase in the lessons to keep users engaged although they have been great so far!

The customer support team have been amazing, particularly Sophia, who has been extremely friendly and helpful.
