Tell Hypnova what you want to change. In a short chat it writes a hypnotherapy session for your exact situation and narrates it in a studio voice over your chosen soundscape. Or pick from 300+ free sessions for sleep, anxiety, confidence, habits and pain, no subscription needed. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Most hypnosis apps hand you a fixed library. Hypnova writes the session around your own words. It draws on established therapeutic techniques such as guided imagery, verbal suggestion, progressive relaxation, breathing pacing and cognitive reframing, combined to gently shift thought patterns toward the outcome you described. WITH HYPNOVA YOU CAN * Create a personalized session in minutes through a short, conversational chat * Explore 300+ expert-crafted sessions for sleep, stress, focus, confidence, habits and pain * Choose your narrator voice and your background soundscape * Save sessions, revisit them any time, and build playlists for daily practice * Replay anything in your library as often as you like, at no extra cost FREE, WITHOUT A SUBSCRIPTION The 300+ session library is free forever. New accounts also receive 60 credits to create personalized sessions of their own. HYPNOVA PRO Credits are spent only when you generate new audio, charged per minute at a rate that depends on the voice you choose. Replaying a session you already have never costs credits. * Monthly: $12.99, with 240 credits each month and up to 120 unused credits rolling over * Annual: $99.99, with 2,880 credits up front and up to 1,440 unused credits rolling over Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage subscriptions and turn off auto-renew in your App Store account settings. WHY IT WORKS Hypnosis guides the mind into a calm, focused state in which the subconscious becomes more receptive to suggestion. That state can support habit change, easier sleep, lower anxiety and clearer thinking. Hypnova was built to follow that process carefully, and to make it available whenever you need it rather than only in a booked appointment. Whether you are after momentum, clarity, or ten quiet minutes, Hypnova is one app for whatever you are ready to change.
