Frequently asked questions

About 10 to 20 seconds at a relaxed pace. Recordings shorter than 6 seconds are too short to analyse.

Selftone checks every recording. It asks you to try again if it was too short, too quiet, too loud, too noisy, or if no speech was found. A quiet room and a normal speaking voice work best.

A session counts when you listen to at least 80% of a track. The daily goal is three sessions.

Record once a day to grow your streak. Streak freezes protect your streak for a day you miss.

An AI assistant inside the app (Google Gemini) that answers questions about your own notes, trends and practice and can do things for you, like recording, playing your tracks, starting sleep mode or changing a setting. It always asks you to confirm before sending anything to someone else. Your chat is kept for 7 days, and it is a guide for reflection, not medical advice.

Sleep mode only plays a soft tone. If you turn on snore sounds, your phone listens on the device and keeps only counts and times. No audio is saved or uploaded.

Yes. Under your tracks, pick another sound style for today. Your tones stay the same, and your usual style in Settings does not change.

An optional view that groups your twelve notes into seven centres, as many traditions do, with an intention for the day. It is for reflection only.

Only the ones you turn on: reminders, a late-day streak nudge, and cheers from friends, each with its own switch, and never during your quiet hours.
