Long thoughts welcome.

No more getting cut off.

Tap once and speak your mind. Riffie never cuts you off. Pause to think, keep going, finish when you're ready. You decide when a thought is finished.

It just plays.

The reply plays itself, the second it lands.

Tap to send, and you're hands-free while you keep walking, driving, or just looking away from the screen. As the text streams in, so does the audio. Full controls when you want them: scrub, change speed, share.

Pick a mindset for a breakthrough.

A few personas, each built for a specific job.

Challenger
Part devil's advocate, part sparring partner

Pragmatist

A definitive call without the clutter of overthinking. No options matrix, no qualifiers. Just a confident recommendation you can put into action.

Challenger

Pressure-test your ideas like you would with a sharp friend. Push past easy answers, weak assumptions, and vague thinking. Strengthen your thinking.

Improviser

A jazz musician's "yes, and" instinct, applied to your thinking. The half-baked thought you almost dropped might be the unlock two steps later. Cross-domain connections nobody asked for. You leave with more possibilities than you walked in with.

Reflection

Warm, unhurried, with a light Stoic sensibility. Reflection without the therapy framing. The benefits compound: clearer thinking, less rumination, better sleep.

Banter Buddy

Opinions, tangents, dissecting trivial things for twenty minutes if that's the mood. Two people riffing, no agenda. Sometimes the rambling itself gives you what you need.

ELI5

Hand over a topic that's hard to grasp: gaslighting, quantum computing, or why do cats love knocking things over. An explanation that builds understanding, piece by piece, like the best teachers do.

Default

No persona layered on top, just the model's defaults coming through.

Projects that remember.

Memory you shape, not memory that decides for you.

Group related conversations into a project. Riffie gathers what matters across them and keeps only what you approve, so the next conversation picks up where the last one left off.

Claude, GPT, and Gemini. Switch freely.

One polished audio experience across all of them. A model that fits the work, a voice that fits the moment.

The models you trust.

Same chat, same memory, different model. Try one for a week, switch when the work changes.

Claude Anthropic

Warm and reflective. Catches nuance, sits with a thought, and pushes back when something feels off.

GPT OpenAI

Sharp and methodical. Breaks complicated things down and keeps the through-line tidy.

Gemini Google

Quick and direct. Lands the answer without preamble. Strong at knowledge work without slowing down to deliberate.

Voices to match the mood.

Each persona ships with a default voice tuned to its role. Override anytime.

Dennis Calm, friendly
Default
Lauren Confident, corporate
Pragmatist
Brian Friendly, encouraging
Challenger
Ashley Warm, helpful
Vinny New Yorker

More to choose from in the app.

Some thoughts need room to breathe.

Talk things through wherever you are, in an app built for spoken thinking.

All the depth of typing. None of the typing.

Other voice modes water down the model and tuck the real response behind a mode switch. Riffie gives you the same depth you'd get typing, read aloud automatically, with the transcript right there.

Thinking happens everywhere. Not just at your desk.

A lot of our best thinking shows up on walks, drives, between calls. Riffie meets you there. Record a thought as long as you need, hear the response back, hands free for the wheel, the leash, the coffee.

Out now on the App Store.

Free to download on iPhone and iPad.

Questions, briefly.

More in the app, in Settings, or by email.

What is Riffie?

A voice-first AI app for iPhone and iPad. Tap once and speak as long as you want. Riffie replies in audio, with the full transcript right there. Built for thinking out loud, hands free.

How much does it cost?

There's a free tier with a small weekly budget, enough to get a feel for it. Pro is a paid subscription that unlocks a generous weekly budget for daily use. New accounts get a free trial at the Pro budget so you can try it before deciding.

What devices does it run on?

iPhone and iPad, running iOS 26 or newer. No Android, no web app. At least not yet.

Do I need an account?

Not to try it. After the free trial ends, signing in is required so your conversations sync across devices and your subscription follows you. Sign in with Apple, Google, or email.

What about privacy?

Riffie does not sell your data, run ads, or track you across apps. Speech transcription happens on-device. Conversations sync to your private iCloud, not to a Riffie server. Full details on the privacy page.

Can I switch AI models or voices?

Yes. Pick the model that fits the work in Settings, and the voice that fits the moment per persona. Same conversation, same memory, different model. Switch anytime.

Why "Riffie"?

Because that's what it's for: a place to riff out loud, with an AI that doesn't cut you off.
