The same four practices
Nothing is missing and nothing is bolted on. Gratitude, affirmations, vision board and identity — one tab each, exactly as on iPhone.
What Manifestly does best on iPad
More room for each of them
A journal entry becomes a page rather than a box, and your vision board fills the screen instead of asking to be pinched.
The device without the work on it
For most people the iPad is the evening device, not the inbox device. That makes it the easiest place to keep a practice that wants a quiet ten minutes.
The four practices on iPad
Gratitude, affirmations, vision board and identity — one tab each, and this is what every one of them looks like on iPad.
A gratitude journal with room to actually write
On iPad the journal stops being a text box and becomes a page. There is space for a longer reflection, several photos side by side, and the whole entry visible without scrolling.
Type it, or dictate it and let speech-to-text write it down while you talk. Photos come straight from your library or the camera, so an entry can be two lines and a picture of the thing itself.
- Full-page entries with several photos
- Type or dictate with speech-to-text
- Read back weeks of entries at once
- Optional iCloud sync with your iPhone
Daily affirmations on a screen you can prop up
The affirmation circle fills an iPad beautifully. Left on a desk or a kitchen counter, it becomes an ambient reminder rather than something you have to go and open.
Tap the circle to count a repetition — affirm a vision, a dream, or simply the sentence today needs — and change the words from a library of 1,000+ across eight life areas whenever they stop landing.
- Tap to affirm, at tablet scale
- 1,000+ affirmations across 8 life areas
- Leave it open as an ambient reminder
- No account and no connection required
The best screen to sit with your vision board
A vision board rewards looking, not fiddling. iPad is the largest screen most people can hold, which makes it the easiest place to actually spend a minute with the board rather than glance at it.
Upload the board you already made and open it full screen. Propped on a desk or a bedside table it becomes something you return to daily, which is the whole point of having made it.
- Upload your existing board or image
- Full-screen viewing for daily focus
- Prop it up as an ambient reminder
- Free plan includes 5 vision boards
Identity cards, all visible at once
On a larger screen your identity cards stop being a list you scroll and become something you take in together — which is when you notice whether they describe one coherent person or four different ones.
Write your own titles and descriptions, edit a card in place, and add a new one when the current set stops fitting.
- Define your own identity, in your own words
- Several cards visible without scrolling
- Edit titles and descriptions in place
- Free plan includes 3 identity cards
Protect your manifestation journey with Touch ID or a passcode
An iPad is the most shared device most people own — it gets handed to a partner, a flatmate, a child who wants to watch something. That makes a lock on your journal more useful here than anywhere else.
Manifestly uses whatever your iPad supports: Touch ID in the top button on most models, Face ID on iPad Pro. And in every case there is a four-digit passcode behind it, which is all you need if you would rather not use biometrics at all.
- Touch ID on most iPad models
- Face ID on iPad Pro
- A four-digit passcode as the fallback, always available
- Useful on the one device other people actually pick up
What the extra room changes
Same app, same four practices, same content. What a bigger screen buys you is the ability to take it all in at once — which matters more than it sounds.
Your vision board as you meant it
Large enough to rest your attention on for a minute, instead of squinting at a thumbnail. This is the screen people actually sit with.
Room to write more than three lines
See the whole entry as you write it, and read back several weeks in one scroll. That is when a journal starts being useful rather than just kept.
Affirmations that stay in the room
Propped on a stand or a kitchen counter, the affirmation screen becomes something you pass rather than something you have to remember to open.
All your identity cards at once
On a phone they are a list you scroll. Here they sit together, which is when you notice whether they describe one coherent person or four different ones.
One free universal download covers iPhone and iPad, so this is not a second app or a second purchase — just more room for the one you already have.
Questions about Manifestly on iPad
Is there a separate iPad app?
No. Manifestly is a universal app, so one free download covers both iPhone and iPad with no second purchase and no separate account.
Does the iPad version have fewer features?
No — it is the same app. All four practices work the same way; there is simply more screen for each of them.
What iPadOS version do I need?
iPadOS 17 or later.
Will my iPhone entries show up on my iPad?
With iCloud sync turned on, yes — syncing happens inside your own iCloud account rather than through our servers. Without it, each device keeps its own content locally.
Can I leave my vision board on screen?
Yes. Open the board and leave the app open on a stand or propped on a desk; it stays there as an ambient reminder for as long as the screen is on.
Is my journal private on a shared iPad?
This is where the lock matters most, since an iPad is the device most likely to be handed to someone else. Manifestly can be locked behind Touch ID, Face ID on iPad Pro, or a four-digit passcode.
Start on whichever screen is nearest.
Free on the App Store, universal across iPhone and iPad. The same practice, however you open it.
