Speakfirst helps you build a daily speaking habit β€” and improve how you sound, fast. Most people never practice out loud. They think about speaking better, watch a TED talk, maybe rehearse once before a big moment β€” then go back to scrolling. Speakfirst is built for consistency: short daily reps, instant feedback, and a reason to show up every day. Block the apps that drain your time. Practice first. Earn your scroll back minute by minute. WHAT'S INSIDE β€’ Daily speaking training. 6+ guided exercises β€” Free Talk, tongue twisters, talk-to-camera reps, pacing drills, and more β€” designed to sharpen clarity, confidence, and delivery. β€’ Instant AI feedback. After every rep, get scored on pace, filler words, clarity, structure, and confidence β€” so you know exactly what to fix. β€’ Build consistency. A coach-style program that keeps you coming back. Small reps compound into a noticeably stronger voice. β€’ Block distracting apps. Pick what stays off your phone β€” Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, X β€” using Apple's Screen Time framework. Your block list stays on your device. β€’ Earn screen time back by doing things that compound: – Sharpening your speaking (daily voice exercises + AI scoring) – Workouts with camera rep counting – Language learning programs – Psychology books with flashcards – Real-world side quests β€’ Side Quests. Real-world challenges that push you out of your comfort zone β€” and reward you with minutes when you follow through. WHY SPEAKFIRST WORKS Speaking is a skill. Skills improve with reps β€” not willpower lectures. Speakfirst aligns practice with reward: the cost of unlocking your dopamine apps is a small deposit into the version of yourself you've been postponing. You don't fight your phone. You charge it. THE SCIENCE Speakfirst draws on real research β€” Stanford psychiatrist Dr. Anna Lembke on dopamine, FBI counterintelligence analyst Joe Navarro on behavior, Cialdini on influence, BJ Fogg on tiny habits, and Toastmasters' long-running speaking framework. Sources are listed in-app under Profile β†’ The Science. HEALTH AND WELLNESS DISCLAIMER Speakfirst is a habit and lifestyle app, not a medical device or healthcare provider. Workouts, breathing prompts, speaking drills, side quests, and book summaries are for general fitness, motivation, and self-improvement only. Speakfirst does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Consult a qualified physician or licensed healthcare professional before starting any new exercise routine or making health-related decisions. Stop and seek medical attention if you experience pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, or any other symptom while exercising. PRICING Speakfirst is free to try with a limited budget. The full experience β€” unlimited earning, all categories, all side quests, AI verification β€” is unlocked with a Speakfirst Pro subscription. Auto-renews until canceled in iOS Settings. Cancel anytime. PRIVACY Speakfirst works on-device. We don't sell your data. We don't track you across apps. Your name, photos, and reps stay on your phone β€” except when the camera sends a frame to our AI verifier, which we discard after sending back the verdict. LEGAL Terms of Use (EULA β€” Apple's Standard): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://adiletexe.github.io/defta-legal/privacy.html Built solo.
