Type what you want to change. ProgramU builds the session. Most subliminal apps hand you a fixed library. ProgramU is a studio: sessions written from your exact words, voiced, and ready in minutes. WHAT YOU CAN MAKE • Subliminals — affirmations beneath music, running quietly under your day. Layer them under your own music, a podcast, even a show. • Guided Meditation — identity work, visualization, sleep, nervous-system calm. • Guided Hypnosis — the deepest single session, induction through return. • EFT Tapping — guided rounds that move what's stuck in the body. Every session is written for your focus, in your words. And you see every line of the script before you press play — nothing enters your subconscious that you haven't read first. WHAT ELSE IS INSIDE • ReflectU — talk with Kaion, by voice or text: ProgramU's AI identity-shifting support system. Tell him what's going on in your life and he helps you understand the beliefs that may be underneath it — then helps you reprogram them: a session built around that belief, a technique or journal prompt for the same day, or a Rehearsal. He can design your next session with you right in the conversation, and you approve every line before it generates. • The Archive — a full library of ready-to-play sessions across all four modalities. • The 90-Day Program — a personalized identity arc in three phases: Foundation, Embodiment, Integration. Daily practice built around your exact focus. • CollectiveU — free live sessions the whole community moves through together, at the same moment, twice a day. • Return to Self — instant spoken resets for the moments doubt rises up. • Time Capsule — write a letter to your future self; ProgramU delivers it on the day you choose. • Daily practice — evening identity reflections, streaks, and a home-screen widget that keeps your affirmations in front of you. HOW IT WORKS Your words go in. Precise audio comes out. Sessions are voiced by a cast of studio-quality voices — or your own cloned voice on subliminals, because no voice reaches your subconscious like yours. One membership includes everything: monthly credits that power the sessions you create and your conversations with Kaion, the full Archive, and the 90-day program. Your first session is free, any type. Full Access starts with a 3-day free trial with 10 credits, so you can build real sessions before you're charged. ProgramU is for adults (18+). It is a personal-development tool, not medical or mental-health treatment. Precise adjustments. Courtesy of ProgramU.
