I love this, and I would pay for it.

This is a bit personal but I’ll share it. I would use this to record myself sharing items such as motivational conversations, topics that I would like to explore more deeply, or nudges to perform certain tasks that day. Let me take you through a scenario. It would call me first thing in the morning, thus wake me up, and say some motivational things that I had recorded months before (and maybe some facts about the day or other interesting items that are personal to me). I will record these months in advance so that I wouldn’t necessarily remember them (I have a terrible memory, which is partly why I want this). Hearing myself talk to myself in only the way that I know how and then having my memory jogged for whatever it is that I put on the recording would start my day off pretty well - I could also then direct myself to do certain things that are on the schedule but that I don’t do every day such as working out, taking care of certain animal responsibilities,or reminders to take care of certain family things that I only need to take care of every so often.

I used to carry a mini disc player around that I had recorded specific tracks for this same concept, and then I moved to recordings on the phone, but it’s just so clunky. I have to remember to look up the recording, name the recording in some manner that I’m going to know which ones to pick, and a little bit of surprise around having a random recording is just notThere. Ideally, this would be set up to call me and play a randomly selected recording, and then by way of voice recognition or just pressing a button it would play a randomly selected recording from a different category or grouping.

I would definitely be willing to work with you to codevelop my use case if you would be open to it. Do you have a suggested price that you are interested in getting for using it?

Thank you so much for sharing!

I'm wondering if you'd like the app to prompt you to record specific sorts of things? Or if you would remember to use the app whenever there's something you'd like to play to yourself in the future, and just focus on the voice recording part. I'm thinking the prompts could be set up sort of like this: https://ibb.co/f9WHzYC

And then every morning, you could get a notification to listen to a random selection of previous recordings.
