The quiz and a 20-second narrated preview are free, with no card. Then a 7-day free trial if you want the rest.

Questions
Before you choose
What is a manifestation app?
An app that helps you put what you want into words and come back to it often, usually with affirmations, audio or a journal. Utopia treats it as a mindset and journaling practice: you name what matters, hear it, and take small steps toward it.
Is Utopia on the App Store?
Not yet. Utopia runs in your phone's browser on iPhone and Android, and you can add it to your home screen so it opens like an app.
Can I try Utopia for free?
Yes. The 3-minute quiz and a 20-second narrated preview of your manifesto are free, with no card. Premium has a 7-day free trial, and you can cancel in two taps.
Is Utopia therapy?
No. It's journaling and mindset software, and it doesn't give medical, financial or legal advice. If you're struggling, please talk to a professional.
