How Manai works

Share a personalized practice with someone you know

You can share a supported personal Manai practice using its Share action. Manai creates or reuses a link, and a signed-in recipient can open the shared practice. The link can be forwarded, so choose wording and artwork you are comfortable making available to other people who receive it. The owner can stop sharing to revoke access through the active link.

Share something the recipient can use

A practice written for you may contain a helpful structure but details that do not fit someone else. Your familiar kitchen, your manager’s name, or a private memory may distract a friend from the part they could use.

We think a useful shared practice starts with the recipient’s situation. Keep the personal meaning that travels well, and revise details that require your private context.

Original illustrative request before sharing:

Adapt my three-minute end-of-work practice so a friend can use it. Replace my employer’s name and the family details with ordinary language. Keep the idea of putting the workday down and choosing one thing to notice this evening. Show me the revised script before producing the version I will share.

This is an invented example, not a customer story. Review the resulting script, recording, title, and cover together before sharing.

What happens after Share

For personal content, the owner uses Share, and Manai creates or reuses a general link. The system share sheet lets the owner choose where to send it. A recipient signs in to Manai before private practice details or audio are made available.

The recipient can forward that same active link. It is therefore a link-based invitation, not an access list limited to the first person you messaged. Current general links have no automatic expiry or viewer cap.

The public page that helps someone open or install the app does not provide anonymous playback of the private recording. These access rules apply to personal sharing; public or community publishing is a separate feature.

End access when the purpose ends

The owner can use Stop sharing to revoke the active link and the access granted through it. Sharing again creates a fresh link; the old one should not be treated as usable again.

Stopping sharing controls future access through Manai. It cannot retract something another person already heard, copied, recorded, or saved elsewhere. Make the original sharing decision with that practical limit in mind.

Sharing a practice also does not share your whole account. The shared experience is different from the private conversation and profile context used to create it. Still, anything you put into the visible script, artwork, or narration can be part of what the recipient encounters.

Frequently asked questions

Does the recipient need an account?

Yes. Recipients must sign in to Manai before accessing private personal-practice details or audio. The marketing fallback can help them open or install the app.

Yes. A recipient can forward a current general sharing link, and other signed-in Manai users with the active link can open it.

Yes. The owner can stop sharing, which revokes the active link and its associated access. It does not erase copies or recordings someone made outside Manai.

Does sharing publish the practice for everyone to browse?

Personal link sharing and public or community publishing are separate flows. A personal Share action creates link-based access; it should not be described as choosing a public visibility level.

A note on wellbeing

Manai offers educational wellness practices. It is not medical care, diagnosis, or treatment. If a practice feels uncomfortable, stop. Seek qualified support for health concerns or urgent distress.
