Armored KittenSmall knight. Big feelings.Armored Kitten affiliates · Part 6 of 6 · Free features & win-win guide
Referring a friend to Armored Kitten is a true win-win: even if they never subscribe to Plus, your invite gives them a powerful, calm everyday planner, forgiving habit tracker and calendar for free—and if they do choose Plus, Telegram sends you 50% in Stars.
Outcome A (No Plus): your friend gets 9 powerful free tools for 0 ⭐. Outcome B (Plus in first month): your friend gets Plus (770 ⭐) and you earn 385 ⭐ (50%).
Memory hook: It’s a 100% win-win referral: if your friend never signs up for Plus, you still helped their everyday life with 9 powerful free tools; if they do sign up for Plus (770 ⭐) in their first month, Telegram automatically sends you 385 ⭐ (50%).
_tgr_ link chooses Plus with Telegram Stars during their first month, Telegram credits 50% (385 ⭐) to your chosen Stars balance.2-minute practice: Pick one free feature below (for example Forgiving Habits or Today + Pinned Chat Card) and send the matching “no Plus needed” referral message in Step 5 to one friend today.
Get your personal Armored Kitten link from your private Invitations screen. It is the same account-owned link used by your bot. No email is needed to copy or share it. Today and Habits are free in Telegram.
Eligible custom rewards are manually reviewed after a first paid month. Telegram affiliate attribution excludes a custom reward for the same referral. Signing up alone does not earn a reward. Choose one link per invitation.
Step 1 · The Win-Win Referral
Most referral programs put you in an awkward spot: if your friend doesn’t pull out a credit card and subscribe, your link gave them nothing but a paywall screen. Armored Kitten is built the opposite way so you can share your link from Part 1 with complete confidence:
Planned offer — not live yet. A friend who signed up through your affiliate link would receive a one-time ARMORED airdrop when they renew for their second paid month. The airdrop would be worth 50% of the proceeds Telegram actually pays Armored Kitten for that renewal, after Telegram’s deductions.
| Their choice at that renewal | Their planned ARMORED airdrop |
|---|---|
| Renew monthly | 50% of our actual Telegram proceeds from that one month only. |
| Renew with a one-year Plus package | 50% of our actual Telegram proceeds from that one-year package, giving them a larger airdrop than a single monthly renewal. |
This would be a one-time renewal benefit, not an airdrop on the initial signup or every later renewal. Subscription prices and automatic renewal stay unchanged. The ARMORED would go to your referred friend, separately from the Telegram Stars commission you earn as the affiliate.
Launch, token valuation and claim details will be announced before this offer becomes available.
Choose one route for each invitation. Your Telegram Affiliate Program link (_tgr_… from Part 1) uses Telegram’s commission rules. Your personal Armored Kitten link (ref_…) is available in More → Invitations without email setup. It counts referral activity and can qualify for manual reward review after a first paid month. Signup alone earns nothing. Any observed Telegram affiliate attribution excludes a custom reward for the same referral; missing, incomplete or stale checks never approve a reward.
Step 2 · Why the Free Tier Is Different
When you tell a friend “you can use it for free without ever going Plus,” you can back that up with real substance. Most “freemium” productivity apps deliberately break the free experience—locking you to 3 habits, hiding calendar views, or resetting your streak to zero if you miss a single sick day. Armored Kitten’s free foundation is designed to be a calm, complete daily companion on its own:
| Everyday need | Typical “freemium” to-do / habit apps | Armored Kitten Free Toolkit (0 ⭐, no Plus needed) |
|---|---|---|
| Daily task list | Separate app you forget to open; burying tasks in long backlogs. | Today checklist (/today): pins a live card right inside Telegram chat, syncs with the Mini App task ring, includes a Focus timer, and breaks big tasks into a 5-minute opening move. |
| Habit tracking | Miss one day when you’re sick or travelling and your streak resets to 0. | Forgiving Habits (/habit): pick planned weekdays and record what you know. Rest days and unlogged today are skipped in the run, but an older unlogged planned day can end it. Unknown remains unknown rather than proving a missed action; the run looks back up to 60 days. |
| Big goals & motivation | Static list of goals with no bridge to today’s schedule. | Goals + ✨ Manifest: break goals into small ordered steps, write a present-tense future scene and 3 believable affirmations, and tap Add to Today. |
| Recurring reminders | Moving one Tuesday appointment accidentally shifts every future week. | Schedule & Calendar (/calendar): move or skip one single occurrence on a busy day without breaking your recurring weekly reminder series. |
| Weekly reflection | Locked behind a paid tier or auto-saves messy AI notes you didn’t ask for. | Weekly Review (/review): calm 4-question guided worksheet that stays temporary until your friend explicitly taps Confirm and add goal. |
| Account & privacy | Requires email/password sign-up, credit card for trial, and hides delete buttons. | Telegram setup + privacy controls: 19 Bot languages, labelled English Mini App previews, one-tap /stop pause, queued compressed JSON /export, and /forget account deletion. |
Step 3 · Feature-by-Feature Tour
Here is the exact tour you can show a friend—complete with real sample-account screenshots from our visual dashboard tutorials:
1/3 done), their next scheduled reminder, their 7-day habit dots, and quick buttons to jump into any tool./today): Your friend can add tasks in chat or in the Mini App, pin the live checklist at the top of the Telegram chat, start a built-in focus timer, and recover unsent text drafts automatically./goals): Instead of staring at an intimidating goal like “Launch portfolio”, your friend breaks it into small steps and taps Add to Today on just the next step./manifest · English preview): Connects an active Goal to a short imagined future scene, up to 3 believable affirmations, one confirmed action on Today’s checklist, and a 30-day Weekly Chapter story built from real completed steps./habit): Friends choose which weekdays a habit belongs on and tap Done or Not today on the visual 7-day dot strip. Rest days and unlogged today are skipped in the run. An older unlogged planned day can end it; Unknown stays unknown, and the lookback is up to 60 days./focus): A dedicated 7-day or 30-day intention card that keeps one priority front-and-center—with pause, resume and complete controls whenever life shifts./review): Four gentle questions at the end of the week (What moved forward? What got in the way? What can you let go of? What is one small step for next week?) that turn reflection into one confirmed Goal step./calendar): A clean month calendar and 7-day strip where friends can reschedule or skip a single busy day without breaking a recurring reminder./stop, /export, /forget): Use the command or save control for a supported record. Free and Plus users can set their local time zone, quiet hours and topic switches, choose among 19 Bot languages, and manage retained chat in Privacy & data. These Mini App previews are labelled English. /export queues a compressed JSON .json.gz document: wait for the actual file, and retry if the bot reports a busy or failed export. Money CSV is separate; /forget starts account deletion.Step 4 · Real-Life Workflow
To see why your referral is genuinely valuable even if your friend never upgrades, look at how a friend can use Armored Kitten from morning to night at zero cost:
Because your friend experiences this calm, helpful rhythm every day for free, they actually stick with the companion. You can also show them how the free and Plus tools fit together in Part 3: The 11-slide Pitch Deck, read why we keep core planning free in Part 4: Our mission & vision, or film a 60-second demo of any free feature using Part 5: Creator’s video guide. And whenever your friend decides they want AI coaching, tap-to-log Fitness, natural-chat Money tracking, Mood & Support or Daily Sparks during their first month, they can upgrade to Plus (770 ⭐) in two taps—and Telegram automatically sends you 385 ⭐ (50%).
Step 5 · Copy-and-Send Scripts
Lead with the free value so your friend feels zero pressure. Copy any of these four messages, paste in your personal https://t.me/armoredkitten_bot?start=_tgr_… link, and send:
“Hey! I’ve been using @armoredkitten_bot inside Telegram to keep my daily checklist, goals and calendar in one place. You don’t need to buy Plus—the Today checklist, pinned chat card, Goals, Habits and Schedule work for free. Here’s my invite link if you want to try it: [your _tgr_ link] (if you ever upgrade to Plus with Stars, Telegram sends me a thank-you share at no extra cost to you).”
“Try the free Habits tool in @armoredkitten_bot—you pick planned weekdays. Rest days and unlogged today are skipped in the run; an older unlogged planned day can end it. Unknown isn’t proof of a missed action, and the run looks back up to 60 days. Habits and daily planning stay free without Plus: [your _tgr_ link] (my referral link—I only earn Stars if you ever choose Plus).”
“If you want a calm place to break your goal into small steps, try @armoredkitten_bot. Even without Plus, you get Goals, the ✨ Manifest future-scene tool (English preview) and the 4-question Sunday /review worksheet for free: [your _tgr_ link] (referral link—free tools stay free; I earn Stars if you ever subscribe to Plus).”
“My favourite free productivity setup right inside Telegram 🐱🛡️ Today checklist + pinned live chat card + Habits with up to 60 days of run lookback + single-date Calendar rescheduling + Greeting Studio—all usable without Plus. Start here: [your _tgr_ link] (Affiliate disclosure: free everyday tools require no subscription; if you choose Plus in your first month, Telegram sends me 50% in Stars).”
Practice & self-test
Tap each card to practice explaining how your referral helps a friend with or without Plus.
What to say or do: “You never have to subscribe to Plus! Even if you spend 0 Stars forever, you keep the Today checklist, pinned chat card, Goals, forgiving Habits, 7/30-day Focus plans, 4-question Weekly Review, Calendar and Greeting Studio—with no credit card required and no auto-charge.”
Why this works: Shows that your invite is a genuine, lasting gift even if they never pay.
What to say or do: If your friend does NOT sign up for Plus, you still helped a friend organize their daily life with 9 powerful free tools at zero cost. If your friend DOES sign up for Plus (770 ⭐) in their first month, they get AI coaching, Fitness, Money, Mood and Sparks at the normal price while Telegram sends you 385 ⭐ (50%).
Why this works: Removes 100% of the awkwardness of sharing a referral link.
What to say or do: In Habits (/habit), rest days and unlogged today are skipped in the run. An older unlogged planned day can end it. Unknown is not proof of a missed action; the run looks back up to 60 days. In Schedule (/calendar), you can move or skip a single busy Tuesday without breaking the rest of your recurring weekly reminder series.
Why this works: Concrete details prove the free tier is thoughtfully engineered, not a stripped-down demo.
What to say or do: Your Telegram Affiliate Program link (t.me/armoredkitten_bot?start=_tgr_...) is tracked by Telegram and pays you 50% (385 ⭐) when a new user subscribes to Plus with Stars in their first month. More → Affiliate dashboard also generates your Armored Kitten referral link instantly. That route can propose 50% of a referred friend’s first monthly Stars payment for owner review and manual transfer after a configured delay. Signup alone earns nothing. Telegram affiliate attribution, refunds or unverified history prevent approval.
Why this works: Helps you pick the right link when your goal is to help friends AND earn Telegram Stars.
