Record meditations in your own voice.
Selfime is a private meditation recorder for practices you write or adapt. Hear a practice before recording it, choose a voice for Read-Along, or send someone a tape you recorded in your own voice.

Keep a tape or send it to someone
Keep recordings in your private Tape Library or make a Sealed Tape for a later date in Future Me. A tape you recorded in your own voice can be sent to someone as a single encrypted file, and they are asked before it joins their library.
Inside the app
Meditation with or without a recording
Choose the voice when you start Read-Along, then adjust voice speed alongside the pace. The 50 Selfime-written practices come with a prepared reading, while your device’s own voice can read anything else. You can also read along with a tape you recorded yourself, with its voice silenced.
Breathe gives you a visual breathing guide. You can add an optional place label to a tape or, on iOS, log a session’s length and timing as Mindful Minutes in Apple Health.

Recording privacy
Your recordings and words are not sent to Selfime.
Selfime keeps your library on your device without an account or server; you choose where to save backups and encrypted Recovery Kits.
On your device
Your recordings, scripts, and reflections live in private app storage, with no copy held by Selfime.
Encrypted
Finished recordings are encrypted on your device, along with the words, schedules, and reflections stored beside them.
Optional app lock
Enable Deck Lock in Settings to require Face ID, a fingerprint, or your device passcode when the app starts and after one minute in the background.
Transcribed on the phone
Dictation and transcription are off by default and use only your device’s speech recognition, never a cloud service.
Library recovery
Move your library with an encrypted Recovery Kit and a 12-word recovery code, which Selfime cannot recover if lost.
Local reminders
Your phone schedules listening reminders locally, without registering for remote push notifications.
Selfime does not upload your recordings or words to services it controls. Encrypted Selfime data may be included in system backups or in exports you create yourself.
