About

Restate

Features
Read full description

Restate is built on one idea: the state you're in can be changed on purpose. Not your life, not who you are — the state you're in right now. Open the app, pick the state closest to where you are, and a voice guides you through a few minutes of practice while a layered soundscape carries you into a different one. No checking in, no streaks, no homework. HOW IT WORKS • Pick where you are and what you need — two simple choices, no long questionnaire • A voice guides you through the practice; a soundscape plays underneath it • Adjust the length to the time you actually have • Put your phone down. It keeps playing with the screen locked. WHAT'S INSIDE • 78 guided practices with a signature voice for every state • 40 background soundscapes, each built from ten tracks mixed live — so the sound never restarts at a loop point • Download once and use them offline • A daily reminder that fits your own rhythm • A home screen widget that suggests a practice for the time of day FREE TO START Install for free and get one full guided practice plus three soundscapes, no account and no sign-up. Every other feature — session length, reminders, the widget, bookmarks and search — is free too. RESTATE PRO An auto-renewable subscription that unlocks the full library: all 78 practices and all 40 soundscapes. • Monthly: USD 8.99 • Annual: USD 39.99 for the first year, then USD 59.99 per year The plan length, price and renewal terms are shown on the upgrade screen before you buy.
