Frequently asked questions.
Quick answers to the most common questions about SelfForward. If you don't see what you're looking for, reach out directly below.
What is SelfForward?
SelfForward is an interactive reflection tool that helps you explore how today's choices may shape your future. It combines future-self visualization, voice conversations, immersive scenes, habit tracking, and personal letters to help you make more intentional decisions.
Is SelfForward a therapy or medical service?
No. SelfForward is designed for reflection, education, and personal growth. It does not provide therapy, diagnose mental health conditions, or replace professional medical, psychological, financial, or legal advice.
How does the future self experience work?
You describe a decision or life area you want to explore, and SelfForward creates an immersive, personalized scene of your possible future. You can upload your own photo to see your future self, choose an environment, and even talk with your future self using voice or text.
Can I upload my own photos for the scene?
Yes. You can upload a photo of yourself and, after cropping, SelfForward will use it as the basis for your future self identity. You can also upload background images for your personal environments in My Places.
What is the hologram / AR mode?
The hologram mode overlays your future self or live webcam feed with a transparent, glowing effect on screen. AR mode uses your phone's camera to place the scene in your real surroundings. Pyramid mode is a physical setup that reflects the image onto a clear plastic pyramid for a 3D illusion.
How do habit reminders work?
When you create a habit, you can set 1–6 reminders per day. If you install the app to your home screen and enable notifications, you will receive push reminders even when the app is closed. Otherwise, browser notifications are used as a fallback while the tab is open.
Can I save or download my future self letters?
Yes. Letters can be saved to your account and downloaded as PDF, HTML, or plain text files. You can also edit a letter before saving or downloading it.
What data does SelfForward collect?
We collect your account email, the content you create in the app (such as scenes, choices, letters, and habit settings), and optional profile information. We do not sell your data. You can review our Privacy Policy or delete your account and data at any time from Settings.
How do I delete my account and data?
Go to Settings → Danger Zone and select Delete my account and data. This permanently removes your profile, scenes, letters, habits, reminders, push subscriptions, and uploaded files from our systems.
Is there a paid plan?
SelfForward offers a free tier with core features, and a Pro plan that unlocks additional AI turns, voice calls, longer letters, and more. Visit the Pricing page for details.
