Original Summary

Hi HN! I built Selfime after reading a few books that suggested recording messages or exercises to yourself and listening back. I wanted something engaging and private to do that with so I built this thing.<p>There is some getting used to listening to your own voice if you&#x27;re not already accustomed to it (I certainly wasn&#x27;t!), but there is something about hearing the words from yourself. You know what’s happening in your life and what those words mean to you. For me it feels closer to a guided journal of sorts that you can listen back to.<p>For the keeping engaged part, the app uses a cassette&#x2F;field player interface. You can record a guided practice or start with a blank tape, redo&#x2F;trim takes, adjust pauses, add gentle ambience and customize the cassette. There’s also a Read-Along option when you don’t feel like recording.<p>Recordings are encrypted on your device, with no account or ads. It’s available on iOS and Android, free to start with a one-time paid unlock.<p>Early feedback led me to add&#x2F;feature easier tape sharing and on-device narration, but I’m also curious about the act of creating things with no audience in mind. Whether it’s recording a tape or creating something else - do the extra effort and uncertain payoff make it harder to get started?<p>Thanks for reading. I’d love to hear your thoughts and if you give Selfime a go, any feedback on the app is welcome.
