A human-first audio companion
Manai started as nightly voice notes between friends. We kept the intimacy, then layered AI where it enhances—not replaces—your intuition.
Story
Built for remembering
Manai is the studio where you talk to your future self. We build tools that let you capture breakthroughs, rehearse your truth, and play it back whenever you drift.
Crafted by audio storytellers
Our team blends neuroscience, sound design, and product craft. The result: meditations that feel cinematic yet deeply personal.
Privacy as a design principle
Your sessions live in encrypted storage. You control what becomes public, what stays inside your library, and what gets shared with collaborators.
Frank Schmidt
Founder, Manai
Frank leads experience and sound design, drawing on years of meditation practice and interactive storytelling. Manai is a continuation of that Quiet Revolution: technology that feels like a whisper instead of a siren.
“I wanted a way to bottle the moments when I felt most aligned. Manai lets us capture those truths and replay them until they become second nature.”
