Every morning at 8am, Luminary sends you one curated piece of wisdom. On the free plan, you receive the quote and author. Spark subscribers receive the full morning practice: why the quote was written, what it means for today, and one specific technique to try. Your focus area and life stage shape which quote is selected.
Free: access the full library of 6,574 quotes, save up to 10 favourites, and receive the daily quote email (just the quote). Spark ($1.99/mo): everything in free, plus the full morning practice in every email (write-up + technique), unlimited saves, ad-free, personalised to your life stage and focus, and optional SMS morning alert.
Go to Settings (from the account icon in the top right of the library) and update your focus areas, life stage, and email tone at any time. Changes take effect with the next email. You can also adjust directly at readluminary.com/settings.html.
Yes. In Settings → My Affirmations, you can write and save personal affirmations. They appear in your Affirmations feed in the library. You can optionally share them with the community (anonymously).
Subscription & Billing
Go to Settings → Subscription → Manage billing. This opens the Stripe customer portal where you can pause, cancel, or change your plan with one click. No forms. No emails asking why. If you want to pause rather than cancel, the portal supports that.
Your saved quotes, preferences, and history are stored locally on your device, they remain even if you cancel. Your email address stays on our list as a free subscriber unless you unsubscribe via the link in any email.
The free plan is a permanent tier, not a practice. You can use the full library, save 10 quotes, and receive daily emails without paying anything, indefinitely. Spark is an upgrade if you want the full morning practice experience.
Gallery & Features
Tap any quote card to open the immersive gallery. Swipe up/down to navigate. The ▶ button starts a 7-second slideshow. The ⚙ cog opens background, music, and voice settings. The 🕪 speaker button reads the current quote aloud.
Voice uses your browser's built-in text-to-speech. Tap the 🕪 speaker button in the gallery top bar, this must be a direct tap (browsers require a user gesture to speak). In Settings → Gallery, choose Female or Male voice first. If still silent, try a different browser, Chrome works best; Safari on iOS can sometimes require enabling Spoken Content in Accessibility settings.
Each quote card has a 🚫 button to hide it from your feed permanently, and a ⚑ button to flag it for review. Muted quotes are stored locally and will not appear again.
Every time you save a quote, Luminary learns which types of content resonate with you (tag weights). Quotes matching your saved preferences appear with higher scores in your feed. Your anonymous cohort data (age group + life stage + saved categories) also contributes to improving recommendations for similar users, no personal data is shared.
