Built on published goal-setting research — every claim links to its study.
The research
- Pairing future imagery with obstacle planning measurably improves goal attainment. Wang et al. (2021), meta-analysis of mental contrasting with implementation intentions
- If-then plans reliably help people start the actions they intend to take. Gollwitzer & Sheeran, meta-analysis of implementation intentions
- Pure outcome daydreaming can reduce the energy people put into their goals. Kappes & Oettingen (2011), positive fantasies about idealized futures sap energy
- Imagining the path — not just the prize — is what moves behavior. Taylor et al., envisioning the future and self-regulation
- Specific, challenging goals outperform vague 'do your best' intentions. Locke & Latham, goal-setting theory retrospective
- Goals that feel internally yours get more effort — and are more often reached. Sheldon & Elliot (1999), self-concordance model

FAQ
Common questions.
Is this a magic wish-fulfillment app?
No. Picturing an outcome doesn’t produce it — research shows daydreaming about the prize can actually sap your drive. My Life Canvas pairs pictures of the work with simple when-then plans, the combination the evidence supports. Every claim on this page links to its source.
What do I get free?
The 90-second mirror (24 images), your Desire Mirror in plain words, your plan for the week, and one finished scene from your canvas. No account, no card, no email required.
How does payment work?
The Full Canvas Pack is a one-time $14 purchase on a secure checkout page. No subscription, nothing recurring. The payment step only appears after you’ve seen your free mirror and scene, and every purchase carries a 14-day money-back guarantee.
What if I don’t love it?
Every Full Canvas Pack comes with a 14-day guarantee: email hello@mylifecanvas.ai, we refund the full $14, and you keep the images. One email, no forms, no return process.
What about my data and photos?
Your canvas lives at a private link only you hold — no account, no profile. We store your card reactions and short answers only to build your canvas. There is no photo upload anywhere today; the upcoming Identity Canvas will accept photos only after checkout and wipe them within 24 hours.
Can I use it on Android?
Yes. The Full Canvas Pack is standard PNG images sized for modern phone lock screens, plus two desktop sizes. Set them from your wallpaper settings on iPhone or Android — nothing to install.
