Selfime is a private meditation recorder styled after a classic field cassette deck. Choose a guided practice, make the words your own, and listen back whenever you need it - in your voice, on your device, nowhere else. MEDITATION, GUIDED BY YOU Start with a guided practice and record it one card at a time on the field recorder. Watch the mic meter and tape counter move, replay or redo each take, then save the tape and watch the reels turn. Prefer not to speak? Follow along quietly with Read-Along instead. SEALED TAPES FOR FUTURE YOU Seal a tape for a future date - or for a feeling. Open when anxious. Open when you can't sleep. Open when you're proud of yourself. Your words stay sealed until the moment you actually need them. SIDE B Every tape has a second side. Flip it over and add spoken reflections - a private journal in your own voice, kept with the practice that inspired it. BREATHE Some moments need words. Some only need quiet. Paced breathing with Calm, Box, and 4-7-8 rhythms, gentle ambience, and nothing to read or tap. A RECORDER WORTH HOLDING The SLF-01 transport has a VU meter, tape counter, real transport keys, and cassette shells in collectible finishes and colorways. Voice Balance gently evens out your levels without altering your recording. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No analytics. Recordings are encrypted and never leave your device. A Recovery Kit keeps your library restorable by you alone, and Mindful Minutes can be logged to Apple Health if you choose. FREE EDITION Includes guided practices, a Blank Tape for your own words, 3 recording slots, 1 Sealed Tape, and 5-minute Breathe sessions. SELFIME LIFETIME One purchase. No subscription. No account. Unlocks all 50 guided practices, unlimited recordings and Sealed Tapes, 10โ30 minute Breathe sessions, every soundscape, and every premium finish and colorway. Family Sharing supported. Your voice. Your quiet. Your time.
