Private voice notes, powered by Apple Intelligence. Speak whatever's on your mind and Anima notices the patterns you keep returning to. The inner dialogue you didn't realise you were having, surfaced and given back to you. Everything happens on your device. Your data never leaves it. There are no servers, and no cloud you don't already own. SPEAK Tap to record. Anima transcribes through Apple's on-device Speech models. No audio ever leaves your phone unless you choose to back it up to your own iCloud. The microphone surface is ambient, not anxious: a breathing waveform, a quiet stop button, and you. STRUCTURE Each recording becomes a structured note: a two-sentence summary, the ideas you raised, the tasks you committed to, and the open questions you didn't resolve. Apple's Foundation Models handle the synthesis on-device. Your words, given back to you in shape. NOTICE The more you speak, the more Anima notices. The Constellation tab shows your tags as a graph: clusters of recurring themes, threads that connect across days. The Open Questions tab surfaces what you've been asking but haven't answered. Day Recap appears once a day with one thought and one question to sit with. None of it gamified. None of it telling you to do better. STAY YOURS Anima never sends your audio, transcripts, or text to anyone. The only network connection it makes, and only if you turn it on, is to your own private CloudKit container, where backups of your notes and recordings stay accessible to no one but you. If you want it to be a journal, it's a journal. If you want it to be a sketchpad, it's a sketchpad. If you want it to be quiet most days and noticing-loud on others, it's that too. ANIMA STYLE Five questions during onboarding tune how Anima talks back to you: warmly or critically, in detail or briefly, suggesting gaps or just reflecting. You can change any of it later in Settings. The voice that emerges is yours, not ours. Made for thinking out loud. Built for staying private. FREE AND PREMIUM Capture, transcription, summary, library, search, Day Recap, and Living Summary are free, with no time limit. Premium adds the deeper noticing surfaces (Constellation, Convo, Threads, and the Ideas + Tasks tabs in every note) as a monthly subscription with a 7-day free trial, or a weekly subscription.
