Morning
A short, bright start to the day. Loops three times and ends with a soft chime.
Self-talk in your own voice
Believe it in your own voice.
Write a line or pick one from a pack, record it, and Sona plays it back over a calm soundscape — in the morning, before something that matters, or as you fall asleep.

Soundscape
How it works
Say it. Hear it. Become it.
Choose your words
Start from a pack of lines written to be believable, or write your own. Every line is editable.
Record in your voice
A short countdown, then say it. Recording stops by itself when you pause, and you keep the take that sounds like you.
Listen over calm sound
Sona loops your lines over rain, ocean or forest, and the soundscape ducks gently under your voice.
Read aloud
I can do hard things, one step at a time.

Stops by itself when you pause.
Why your own voice
The only voice you actually believe.
Your own voice can be more memorable than a stranger's. Hearing your words, said the way you would say them, feels less like a script and more like something you mean.
Sounds a little off at first?
Almost everyone feels this. You usually hear yourself through your own head, and a recording skips that. A warm EQ and a soundscape help it settle, and it grows on you fast.
Three kinds of session
For the start of the day, the big moment, and the end of it.
Focus
A few lines before something that matters — an exam, a pitch, a hard conversation. Two passes, then a gentle tap.
Sleep
A long, slow session that dims the screen and fades itself out on a timer. It never carries on through the speaker if your headphones disconnect.
Plans that name a time and place work better.
Set a cue — when I make coffee, I'll play Morning — and Sona reminds you once at the time you chose. Nothing else.
Words that sound like you
Say it the way you'd believe it.
Choose how each line is phrased. Gentler wording is the default, because a line you half-believe is worth more than one you don't.
I'm learning to trust my own judgment.
Some research suggests talking to yourself by name creates helpful distance.

Eight soundscapes recorded outdoors. Rain, ocean and forest are free; five more come with Sona Pro. Have a listen.
Also with Pro: jungle rain, after the rain, Atlantic shore, birds by the river and winter birds.
Built to stay private
Your voice never leaves your phone.
No account. No sign-up. No server. Your recordings and your words stay on your iPhone, and everything works in Airplane Mode.
No account
Open the app and start. There is nothing to sign up for and no profile on a server.
Recordings stay on your iPhone
Your voice, your lines and your name are stored on your phone. Audio only leaves when you share a card or export a file yourself.
Works offline
Record, edit and listen in Airplane Mode. Turning speech into text happens on your iPhone too.
Backup, if you want it
One switch, off by default. It goes to your own private iCloud — nowhere else.
No ads, no tracking
Sona has no advertising and doesn't track you across other apps or websites.
Usage data you can switch off
Anonymous counts and crash reports help fix Sona. Never your voice, your words or your name — and one switch turns them off.
Also in Sona
Small things that make it a habit.
Widgets and Live Activity
Today's line and your streak on the Home Screen and Lock Screen, and the session you're in on the Dynamic Island.
Captions and transcript
Captions and a transcript of your own lines, for when you would rather read along.
A streak that's kind
It counts the sessions you actually played. Miss a day and it pauses — it doesn't reset.
Reminders you set
One reminder at the time you choose. No streak nags, and quiet hours are respected.
Siri and Shortcuts
Say “Play my Morning session in Sona” to start without opening the app.
Share a line
Turn a line into an audio card with your waveform. It exports a file — nothing is uploaded by Sona.
