Write or edit a future

A future is a short statement you want to return to.

A future is a short statement you want to return to. It can be a goal, a prayer, or words that help you focus. Images and voice are optional.

For example: "I speak clearly and trust what I have to say."

Make a future with words

Tap the app's Create button.
Tap New Future.
Type your words in the field that starts with I am....
Tap Text Only.
Read the preview. Tap the words or Text to change them, then tap Done to finish typing.
Check the board choice above the tools. Use Boards to change it.
Tap Save at the top right to save the future.

The preview uses the same layout as Edit Future, with Text, Voice, Vision, and Boards tools. Done finishes typing; Save saves the future. If you close the preview, choose Keep Editing to return or Discard to leave without saving.

To create directly on a board, open Boards, then your board. Tap + or Add Futures, then Write your own. Use the same steps to write and save.

Your words are enough for a complete future. You can add an image or record your voice later.

Make another future

On the new future's preview, tap + New at the top right.

This saves the current future and opens a fresh text field. It does not generate another picture for the same future.

Change the words

Open Boards, then your board or All Futures.
Press and hold the future.
Choose Edit Future.
Tap Text to open the keyboard.
Change the words.
Tap Done at the top right to finish typing.
Tap Save to save the future.

You can also open a future in the player, tap the three dots, then choose Edit Future.

If you close the editor with changes, Keep Editing returns to your work. Discard Changes leaves your saved text unchanged.

Improve the wording

Polish asks Futurecast to suggest a revised version of your words.

Open the future's editor.
Tap Text > Polish.
Read the revised words.
Tap Original or Polished to choose the version you want.
Tap Done to finish editing, then Save to save your edit.

Already great means the app has no change to offer.

Polish is also available while writing a new future, once there is text to work with.

Get other ideas

Suggest offers other ways to express your future.

Open the future's editor.
Tap Text > Suggest.
Scroll across the suggestions and tap one to put its words in your draft.
Tap Done to finish editing.
Tap Save to save your edit.

Tap Original if you prefer your original words.

To keep an idea as a separate future, press and hold the suggestion, then tap Save as new future. This saves a new text-only future without replacing your original.

Check the voice after changing text

Changing words does not make an old recording say something new.

If Futurecast warns that the voice may not match, listen to it. Then record the new words or regenerate the AI voice.

Copy the words

Open the future in the player.
Tap the three dots.
Tap Copy Text.
Paste the words wherever you need them.

Choose a board for your new future

Futurecast suggests where to save your new future. Above the tools, In [board name] shows one selected board, In [number] boards shows several, and No board yet means none is selected. A suggestion can also say picked for this future. If you start from a board, that board is selected.

On the preview, tap Boards.
Scroll across the board tiles. A checkmark marks a selected board.
Tap a board to select it, or tap a selected board to remove it. You can choose several boards.
To make a board, tap New at the end of the row and finish creating it. The new board is selected and stays saved even if you discard the future.
Tap the back arrow to return to the tools.
Tap Save to save the future on the selected boards.

Tapping a paused board can open a screen to choose active boards or view Plus.

If a selected board becomes unavailable when you save, tap Choose Board to return to Boards, or Save Without It or Save Without Them to save without the unavailable boards.

If you leave every board unselected, the saved future stays in All Futures. Board choices for this future take effect when you save it. Your own board choice stays selected when you change the words.
