Subliminal overview

Your brain hates change. Your brain loves status quo, change that with Subliminal. When you want to change, your brain tries to stop you. Conscious change is hard thing to do, unless you can send a message directly to your subconscious, without getting blocked. Messages received this way have great power. They are truly life changing. Subliminal app makes sure that they are under your control.

Short, strong messages visible only for a few milliseconds are received below your conscious sense of perception, which means that your conscious self can't use old tricks to stop you.

Subliminal overlays everything, even in full screen mode, full screen apps, youtube, face time and most of the games. It displays messages on top of everything except for screen saves when it kicks in. We haven’t find single game when Subliminal doesn’t work but it is possible that some of them, that we didn’t encounter, overrides top screen layer that we use. Subliminal also works with multiple monitors. If you have more than one, Subliminal will display messages on all of them.
  • Please note: Subliminal is not a toy. Subliminal does help you achieve measurable real-world results. There is serious brain mechanics knowledge behind any decision we made.

This app *really* worked for me! Sadly, though, it appears have been abandoned. I get a prompt for an Activation Code (which I have), but when I enter that and commit it, the same dialog pops up a couple of minutes later. Sad. Surprisingly, I can't find any other apps that do this. It seems like a perfect (and simple) solution to making/changing habits, since most of us sit in front of computers for *hours* every day. <sigh>

This app is useless on MacOS Mojave. It is impossible to create and view longer 2 words phrases, 3 words etc. Fonts are too big. Furthermore font size customization doesn't work. Support doesn't respond to e-mails either.

I really like this app. I was skeptical at first, so I decided to run a simple test. My goal was to drink more water. So I setup a "Drink Water" message in Subliminal. The first day I think I was too focused on detecting whether my behavior changed to actually conduct a decent test. However, after a full week running Subliminal, I've noticed I have been drinking more water. I have gone from drinking less than 500mL during the day to consistently drinking more than double that amount. I'm going to keep the message running for the next 3 weeks to see if it'll help me establish the habit of drinking more water. I recommend giving the app a try. Setup is quick and the interface is really simple, which is nice. IMO, it's worth it to see if at least one of your New Year's resolutions will stick :)

I just got it awhile ago. You have to be focusing on the computer a lot. Some of the things I really wanted to do was eat less candy (Halloween). I'm still eating some but at least I'm not doing it constantly. It works best if you do it with three words max.
