Share what's on your mind, and Whitespace distills word, voice and sound into a meditation made for your moment.
Hold to speak, or type. Yours in under a minute.
Free to use. Every session written for you — go deeper with a 7-day arc, a week of sessions that build on each other.
The Difference
Every other app gives you the same session everyone else gets, from a list someone curated months ago.
Whitespace shapes what you bring. Your goal. Your block. The exact knot you're carrying right now. Into a guided practice that's yours alone.
Choose your focus. We create the rest.
Hear It

What Sets It Apart
Three things no other meditation app does.
Tell it what's happening in a sentence or a paragraph, and it shapes a session around you, right now.
One intention, seven days. Each session picks up where yesterday left you — and the week is yours forever.
From Japanese to Spanish to Mandarin. 40+ languages, fully voiced. Sessions written in the language you think in.

FAQ
Those apps give you pre-recorded sessions from a fixed library. The same session everyone else gets. Whitespace builds a guided practice around what you actually bring to it. Your goal, your block, your moment. No two sessions are the same.
Mental rehearsal is one of the most studied techniques in performance psychology: athletes, surgeons, and astronauts use it to train outcomes before they happen. Whitespace applies that same principle, personally, to whatever you're working through. Your inner state shapes your outer results. That's not philosophy. It's how the mind works.
Bring whatever you have: a single tap on a curated program, one sentence, or everything on your mind. Whitespace shapes that into a guided practice voiced specifically for you. The more you share, the more precisely it's built. But even a word is enough to start.
Single sessions are free — that never changes. Plans pay for 7-day arcs: a week of sessions that build on each other around one intention, with Day 1 free to try. A plan includes one arc each week (four a month) at your chosen depth — 5, 10, or 20 minutes a day. Prefer no subscription? Buy a single week outright and it's yours forever. Unused weeks roll over, and you can cancel anytime.
Yes — genuinely. Single personalized sessions are free, every day: say what's on your mind, hear a session written and voiced for it. You also get 15+ curated programs covering sleep, focus, confidence, relationships, grief, and more. The only thing you ever pay for is going deeper — a 7-day arc that builds day by day around one intention, bought as a single week or included with a plan.
