What is Casting?
Casting is an iPhone app for a daily ritual of speaking affirmations out loud, anchored to your alarms. When your morning or night alarm rings, one line appears and you say it out loud. Repeated daily, the aim is to shift thought patterns — and then behavior — from the inside.
Can I install it right now?
Yes. Version 1 is on the App Store as “Casting - Your New Self”. It needs an iPhone running iOS 26 or later.
What is coming in version 2, and when?
Version 2 is scheduled for October 2026. It plans to add a short interview that writes personal affirmations for your situation, banner messages and an evening ritual that keep your direction in view all day, and a record of the action you choose as the measure of change that is used to sharpen your sentences. Plans may change before release; we will announce it on this site.
Which devices does it support?
iPhones running iOS 26 or later. Alarms use iOS 26’s AlarmKit, which is why that version is required.
Is my voice stored or sent to a server?
No. Speech recognition runs on Apple’s on-device recognition, entirely on your iPhone. We do not record your voice, store it, or send it to a server.
Does it grade or score what I say?
No. Casting does not score the accuracy of your speech. The point is not evaluation; it is the experience of saying the sentence yourself.
Where is Claude (AI) used?
Version 1 has no AI features. We plan to use Anthropic’s Claude API in version 2’s “Words that know you” interview, which helps write personal affirmations from the answers you give; a web prototype of that interview already runs on Claude for field testing. Your voice is never sent, and in the app we will ask for consent before sending your answers.
How is my personal data handled?
The current app has no sign-up and does not ask for your name or email. Alarm settings and progress stay on your device, and saved affirmations live in your private iCloud. The privacy policy has the details.
Is it free?
Casting offers an optional paid subscription, and Apple handles payment. Current terms and prices are shown on the App Store page.
How is it different from a meditation or journaling app?
Meditation empties the mind and a journal writes things down. Casting speaks sentences out loud and sends them out.
Where do I send questions or feedback?
Write to [email protected] — Korean or English is fine.
