Then is a conversation across time with the only person who matters: you. Speak today, and a year from now hear yourself ask whether you kept your word. Listen to who you were, and find out what became of the hopes you once spoke aloud. A voice that travels in both directions — backwards into who you were, forwards toward who you'll become. — Backwards. Hear your past self's hopes, dreams, fears, and small declarations — and find out what became of them. Did the thing you worried about happen? Did the dream you spoke quietly into your phone come true? The voice from a year ago is more honest than any photo, because tone carries what text cannot: who you were being when you said it. — Forwards. Record a message for your future self. A resolution. A promise. An instruction. "Don't forget why you started this." "Be kinder to yourself this year." "Apply for the job." Your future self hears it, in your own voice, and is held to account by the only authority that can: their own past voice. — How Then works: - 1 recording per day, up to 60 seconds - 24 hours later: hear who you were yesterday - 7 days later: hear who you were last week - 365 days later: hear who you were when you spoke those words - Year in Voices: an automatic 25-second cut on December 31 — Why not Apple Journal? Apple Journal helps you reflect on today. Then connects you to your other selves — the one from a year ago, and the one a year from now. Two different verbs, two different relationships with time. — Privacy by design: - Everything stays on-device — no cloud requirement - Speech recognition runs locally on your iPhone - No ad trackers, no analysis of your recordings - City visible, precise coordinates never stored - No account, no login, no email required - Optional iCloud backup, end-to-end encrypted — Memory cards to share: Every entry can become a beautiful memory card with date, weather, city, optional steps and sleep. Export as 9:16 video for Stories, 1:1 for Feed, or 16:9 for YouTube — with your original voice as the soundtrack. — Then Pro: - 30-day and 365-day replays - Photo cards from the same moment - HealthKit: steps and sleep per entry - Unlimited Time Travel - HD export without watermark - 60-second Year in Voices First year EUR 4.99 — then EUR 9.99/year.
