Mimic is a voice studio for your iPhone. Turn your voice into a character in real time, record studio-quality takes, make a voice of your own, and share it with the Mimic community. TRANSFORM YOUR VOICE LIVE Speak and hear yourself as another voice instantly — through your speaker, AirPods, or any Bluetooth output. Great for videos, characters, storytelling, gaming, and creative play. WHAT YOU GET FREE Six voice effects — Robot, Helium, Demon, Underwater, Whisper and Echo — with no limits and no subscription. Browse and preview the whole community library. Make a voice of your own, and share it with the library to keep it yours to use as much as you like. Try the designer voices and take one from the library before you decide anything. A COMMUNITY VOICE LIBRARY Browse voices other people have made and shared, hear a preview of each one, like the ones you love, and add them to your own grid. New voices appear without waiting for an app update. Publish a voice you made — tagged by how it sounds, so people can find it — see how many people take it, and remove it again whenever you want. Every voice is reviewed before it appears, and anything can be reported from inside the app. RANKS AND MEDALS Everything you do in Mimic earns points — making a voice, taking one, saving a take, publishing to the library. Climb ten ranks from Newcomer to Immortal, unlock eleven medals, and keep a daily streak that survives a missed day. Free for everyone, with no account and nothing to sign up for. EIGHT DESIGNER VOICES Eunice, Boomer, Aoife, Sterling, Rex, Marshal, Princess, and Super Hero — distinct voices tuned by the Mimic team. MAKE A VOICE OF YOUR OWN Record about 20 seconds of your own voice — or someone who has given permission — and Mimic builds a voice avatar on the Apple Neural Engine. Mimic is for creative and entertainment use: only clone voices you have permission to use, and don't use Mimic to impersonate or deceive anyone. STUDIO-QUALITY RECORDINGS Save takes that process through a higher-fidelity model for clean, shareable audio. YOUR RECORDINGS STAY ON YOUR IPHONE Recording, cloning and playback all run on-device, and there is no account to create. Your audio is never uploaded. If you choose to publish a voice to the community library, Mimic sends only its voice print — a small mathematical signature of the voice — and never your recordings. LIGHT OR DARK Mimic follows your iPhone's appearance, or you can pin it to light or dark in Settings. MIMIC PRO Unlock unlimited use of all eight designer voices, the whole community library, your own voices, and studio recordings: • $3.99/month, or • $19.99 one-time (lifetime) Includes a 3-day free trial. Family Sharing supported. Making your own voice, the designer voices and the community voices all need iPhone 15 Pro or newer — you can still browse the library on any iPhone. The six free voice effects work on all supported iPhones. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
