Vision Board Maker or FutureSelf: which is better?
Vision Board ++ Maker is a collage app: you add images, arrange them and add affirmations. FutureSelf draws eight photoreal scenes of you from one selfie and lays them out as one board. Pick the collage if you want to arrange it yourself, FutureSelf if you want your face in the scenes.
A Generational Gap
Vision Board ++ Maker is the digital version of the physical-corkboard workflow: find, cut, paste, arrange. FutureSelf is the AI-native version: describe, generate, done. Both produce a vision board - but one of them has your actual face in the images.
Why Vision Board ++ Maker isn't enough
The Search Tax
You spend hours finding "the right" stock photo for each goal. Most users abandon the board half-finished because the search is exhausting.
Strangers in the pictures
Even when you finish, the board is full of other people.
When Collage Apps Made Sense
Before AI image generation, collage was the only digital path. Vision Board ++ Maker was a great solution for a 2020 problem - but the tools available now have changed what's possible.
One selfie. 8 photoreal scenes of you on one board.
Why your own face
Hershfield et al. (2011) found that seeing an age-progressed image of your own face increased saving in a lab task. It is not a test of vision boards, but it is why we put your face in the scenes.
