Lines about your own life, read aloud: Moti
Moti, our app, writes the lines for you from a chat with an animated companion, shaped by your goals and a tone you pick. A collection plays one line at a time, with the words on screen as the voice reads them: a narrator voice or, on Pro or Premium, your own cloned voice or a loved one's shared voice.
Reminders send lines from your collections, 1 to 20 a day (the Free plan has 2), and the home screen widget, in small, medium or large, shows a new line every hour. There is no lock screen widget, and Moti is iPhone only and in English for now.
- Best for: lines about your own week, to hear as well as read.
What I am still does best
- A big library sorted by categories, with themes and custom backgrounds.
- 13 or more languages, including Turkish, as of November 2026; Innertune, Daily Affirmations Free and Moti are in English.
