LifeTape is a voice journal built for people who think better out loud.
No typing. No blank pages. Just press record, speak freely, and let LifeTape do the rest. Your words are captured, transcribed, and saved — all on your device, all private, all yours.
***How It Works
Record
Tap the RECORD key on the vintage cassette player and start speaking. Pause mid-thought, resume when you're ready, and hit save when you're done. Every session feels like recording a personal tape.
Transcribe
The moment you save, LifeTape converts your voice to text using AI-powered transcription. No extra steps. Open an entry anytime to read back exactly what you said.
Name It
After saving, give your memory a name — or skip and let the time speak for itself. Short enough to feel spontaneous, meaningful enough to find it later.
The Rack
All your recordings live in The Rack — a cassette shelf organised by date. Each tape has its own colour, its own spine, its own story. Tap any cassette to play it back and read the transcript.
