Somote is an app for your computer. It puts the affirmations you choose on your screen — softly, over your email, your spreadsheet, your game — dozens of times a day, while you go about your life.
Play with the app below. Change the phrases, drag the windows around, pull the sliders, and open the tabs to see what the app looks like. In the app, binaural beats, bilateral sound, your own recorded voice, your own photos and the wallpaper carousel all work.
Somote was created to set you free from limiting self-talk and replace it with thoughts that serve you, thoughts that help create the reality you want.
Somote is for people who know that a sabotaging voice costs them too much, the ones whose work depends on backing themselves before the proof exists.
The voice asking who do you think you are is what decides how big you'll go, what you'll charge, and which room you'll walk into. A scarcity tape is not a soft problem when you're the one making the calls.
Ever tried to work while a voice explains, in real time, why it never works out for you or how everyone knows you never follow through? Quiet that and the work tends to arrive at a pace that surprises everyone, including you.
A new city, a new career, rebuilding a life. You are being asked to become a person you have never been, using an inner voice that only knows who you used to be.
Long before it is a circumstance, it is something repeated - about money, about worth, about what people like you get to have. Change what repeats and you change what you experience.
You have said the generous thing to everyone in your life today. Somote says it back to you a few hundred times, in the background, while you keep holding everything up.
Finals, a launch, a season where the margin is thin. The only routine that survives a week like that is one with nothing to open, nothing to log, and no ten minutes you don't have to say words you don't believe.
Most of those sentences were recorded by other people, a long time ago, in a voice you would never have chosen. You have been playing them back ever since about your body, your money, your work, whether you are easy to love.
Now you can record over them without having to create new habits and rituals.
Get Somote for WindowsTell a child often enough that they never finish anything, and it sticks. Tell the same child they have an eye for detail, and that sticks too. Neither has to be true to become their reality as an adult. It only has to repeat.
That is all a belief is: a sentence with enough repetitions behind it. Somote is the recording device — your lines, on your screen, beneath your attention, dozens of times a day, until the record in your head is one you composed.
Read the full essayEvery manifestation practice runs on the same engine: a sentence, repeated until it feels true. The mechanism is sound — what fails is volume, because any practice that depends on remembering to do it competes with everything else in a day.
Some call it Robotic Affirming or spamming your brain, but by any term, Somote is the repetition itself, running quietly while you work and play.
You can adjust the sliders for a bespoke experience, or you can choose to go Deep in one click.
These studies didn't use Somote, but what they establish is the mechanism Somote automates: repetition changes what we like, what we believe, and what we experience.
Record your affirmations and hear them back in the voice you already believe. Somote loops them quietly underneath your day — under a movie, a game, music, or nothing at all. Nothing else is paused or quieted; your voice simply sits underneath it.
Record as many as you like, choose which ones play and in what order, and set the silence between them. Included with Plus.
Your recordings are ordinary audio files, saved on your own computer. Delete one in the app and the file goes with it.
Open the Sound tab to choose from five presets — Calm, Focus, Attention, Sleep, Meditation — or dial in your own frequencies. Sessions can be put on a timer, fading out on their own.
Two tones a few hertz apart, one in each ear: the brain perceives the difference between them as a single slow pulse. Steady exposure to that pulse — brainwave entrainment — is among the most studied approaches to shifting state deliberately, and it is why every preset here is named for the frequency band it targets rather than just a mood.
Health notice: SOMOTE displays flashing content and includes binaural beats and bilateral sound. If you have a history of epilepsy, photosensitive seizures, or another neurological or medical condition, are pregnant, or are under a physician's care, consult your healthcare provider before use. SOMOTE is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, and is not a substitute for professional care.
A soft sound that travels gently from one ear to the other, at a pace you choose — Drift, Settle, Sway or Pulse.
Meant for relaxation and focus, not as a substitute for treatment by a medical professional.
Phrases on your main display, a side monitor, or all of them — built for multi-screen setups. Choose under Display → Screens, and the overlay follows the screen(s) you picked.
Available for both Foundations and Plus.
Start with four Playlists we wrote for you — Foundations, Health, Wellness and Affluence. Free forever, no account. Upgrade to Plus to customize your experience, add photos, get the benefits of binaural and bilateral sounds, rotate your wallpaper, and access your favorite creators' packs.
Download the installer and run it for Windows 10 and 11
The Android app is finished and going into testing on Google Play (we're accepting testers now), and a Mac version is in the works.
The first time you run the installer, Windows may show “Windows protected your PC.” This appears for downloads from new independent publishers — it’s about our newness, not the file’s safety. Click “More info,” then “Run anyway.”
SOMOTE works by flashing your phrases and photos on screen — including, at some settings, very rapid micro-flashes. A small percentage of people may experience seizures, blackouts, or severe dizziness when exposed to flashing lights or patterns, even with no prior history.
If you — or anyone who shares your screen — have a history of epilepsy or photosensitive seizures, do not use SOMOTE without consulting a doctor first.
Stop using it immediately and seek medical attention if you experience dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitching, involuntary movements, disorientation, or convulsions.
Binaural beats and bilateral sound are designed for use with stereo headphones to create their intended effect. Listen at a comfortable volume, and do not use while driving, operating machinery, or during any activity that requires your full attention.
If you have a history of epilepsy, seizures, or another neurological condition, are pregnant, have a medical condition, or are under the care of a physician, consult your healthcare provider before using binaural beats if you have any questions or concerns.
Discontinue use immediately if you experience dizziness, headaches, nausea, discomfort, or any other adverse effects.
SOMOTE is designed to support personal growth and well-being. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition, nor is it a substitute for professional medical or mental health care. If you are experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, or have concerns about your health, seek guidance from a qualified healthcare professional.
This warning is also shown in the app on first launch and after every update, and SOMOTE will not begin flashing until it has been read and acknowledged.
Download it, and let the machine you stare at all day start working for the person you're becoming.
