We've got answers.
Everything you want to know about soffyn — and a few things you didn't know you needed to ask.
What is soffyn?
soffyn is a wellness app I built for neurodivergent Black women — and for everyone who needed something like this to exist. Daily affirmations, flexible journaling, goal tracking, a focus timer, quick-capture, and privacy controls. No streaks. No shame. Just a space that meets you where you are.
Who is soffyn for?
soffyn is built specifically for neurodivergent Black women — people with ADHD, autism, anxiety, dyslexia, sensory processing differences, or any brain that doesn't fit the mold. Everyone is welcome. But I center the people who have been most underserved by wellness apps — because that's who I built it for first.
When does soffyn launch?
soffyn is launching September 2026. Join the waitlist to get early access when we open the doors.
What platforms will soffyn be on?
iOS and Android apps are launching September 2026. A web version is available now at soffyn.com.
Will soffyn be free?
Yes — soffyn Seen is free, always. No trial, no credit card, no expiration. You get daily affirmations centered for your community, text journaling, mood check-in, focus timer, basic goal tracking, community access, and 90 days of journal history. soffyn Set ($8.99/month or $64.99/year) unlocks the full affirmations library as it grows, audio and photo journaling, unlimited history, and full pattern insights. And if you join the waitlist before launch, you're a Founding Member — Set-level access, free forever.
How is soffyn different from Calm or Headspace?
Calm and Headspace are built for neurotypical users. They assume you'll show up consistently, meditate on a schedule, and maintain streaks. soffyn is built for brains that don't work that way. No streaks that punish you for being human. No overwhelming menus. No toxic positivity. Just tools that actually get how your brain works.
Is my data private?
Yes. We respect your privacy. You'll always know what data we collect and why. We never sell your personal information. Read our full Privacy Policy.
What happens after I join the waitlist?
You'll get a welcome email from me — Akia, the actual person who built this. Then occasional updates as I get closer to launch: what I'm building, what's changing, what to expect. When the doors open, you're in first. Free, as a Founding Member.
Who built soffyn?
soffyn was built by Akia — a neurodivergent Black woman, developer, and accessibility consultant who couldn't find a wellness app built for a brain like hers. So she built it. soffyn is a product of Developed By Akia, LLC.
Will there be a community?
Yes — community is next. The people who asked for soffyn before it existed also asked for a place to find each other. I heard that. It's coming. Join the waitlist and be first in the room when it opens.
Is soffyn only for Black women?
soffyn is built specifically for neurodivergent Black women — this community is at the center of every design decision, every affirmation, every feature. Everyone is welcome to use soffyn. But the experience is shaped by and for that community, and we don't apologize for that specificity.
What does "founding member" mean?
Founding Members are people who join the waitlist before soffyn launches in September 2026. You get everything in soffyn Set — the full affirmations library as it grows, audio and photo journaling, unlimited history, full insights, and more — free, permanently. Not a trial. Not until I change my mind. It's my commitment to the people who showed up before there was anything to show up for. Learn more →
How will I know when soffyn launches?
When you join the waitlist, you'll receive updates from Akia directly — including a heads-up before launch and instructions for getting in as a founding member when the doors open.
What's the difference between Seen and Set?
Seen is soffyn's free tier — always free, no card required. You get the real soffyn experience: a daily affirmation centered for your community, text journaling, mood check-in, focus timer, basic goal tracking, and community access. Set ($8.99/month or $64.99/year) gives you the full affirmations library as it grows, audio and photo journaling, unlimited journal history, full pattern insights, and first access to new features. Both tiers include community. Neither punishes you for being human.
