Share what you're carrying (the pre-pitch nerves, the 3am spiral, the anxious thoughts) and Whitespace distills word, voice and sound into a guided meditation session made precisely for your moment.
Hold to speak, or type. Yours in under a minute.
Free to start. Your session, or choose from 15+ programs.
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.
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.
Your practice deepens with every session. Whitespace carries forward what matters: your language, your pace, what's been heavy lately.
From Japanese to Spanish to Mandarin. 40+ languages, fully voiced. Sessions written in the language you think in.
The tension in your shoulders. The weight in your chest. The breath that won't slow down. Sessions built with breathwork and body-based techniques to meet stress where it actually lives — and help you move through it.

Based on publicly available features, 2026. "AI apps" = apps using template-based mood matching, not generative scripts.
Speak what you're carrying. A space takes shape, ready to begin.
Hold to speak. Whitespace listens, builds you a personalized session, and hands it back ready to begin — voice, pacing, imagery, language all tuned to this moment.

No two sessions should either. Start free. Yours is ready in seconds.
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.
Credits are how you generate sessions. 1 credit = 5 minutes of personalized audio. Choose a plan based on how often you practice. Weekly or monthly billing available. Unused credits roll over, and you can cancel anytime.
Whitespace is free to download and includes access to 12+ curated programs, each built across 3 sessions covering sleep, focus, confidence, relationships, grief, and more. They're voiced with your name, so they still feel personal. You also get 2 personalized sessions to experience the full depth of what Whitespace can build for you. After that, choose a plan based on how often you practice.
