Vichar Dreams

Vichar turns your alarm into a sleep-talk recorder. No separate button to remember, no app to open at bedtime — set your alarm and Vichar arms with it. Turn the alarm off and it stops. That's the whole interaction. WHAT YOU GET EVERY MORNING • A timeline of every sound Vichar picked up overnight • An on-device transcript for each one, where supported by your device • "Play the night": one trimmed recording of everything that was said • Loudest moment, longest stretch, and a quiet-hours percentage YOUR AUDIO NEVER LEAVES YOUR PHONE Recording happens entirely on-device. There is no cloud speech-to-text and no audio upload, at any subscription tier, ever. No account required. OPTIONAL: BRING YOUR OWN AI KEY Want more than the transcript? Add your own API key from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, or Groq, and Vichar can send just the transcript text (never audio) for a playful reading of the night, a dream reconstruction, or patterns across several nights. This is entirely opt-in — Vichar is a complete, useful app with no key at all. Every AI reading carries a plain-language certainty label, because sleep talk is mumbled and AI can be confidently wrong. BUILT FOR AN ALARM THAT ACTUALLY WORKS Vichar is an alarm first, tested to make sure the alarm reliably rings — whether or not the recording or transcription has finished. PRIVACY, TAKEN SERIOUSLY • No account, no sign-up • No audio ever uploaded, at any tier • Your AI provider key lives in your device's secure keystore, never our servers — we don't operate a server that sees it • Delete any night, or just its audio, whenever you like A NOTE OF HONESTY Vichar is built for curiosity and entertainment. Transcripts (where supported) are automatic and often imperfect. AI dream readings are informed guesswork generated from your words alone, not analysis of you, and are never a substitute for medical advice. Vichar does not diagnose, detect, or monitor any sleep or health condition. Vichar includes a 7-day free trial. After the trial, Vichar is $3.99/month, billed through Google Play, auto-renewing until cancelled. Manage or cancel anytime from the Play Store app → Subscriptions. NOTE ON ANDROID FEATURE PARITY: as of this writing, Vichar's on-device transcription is iOS-only (AndroidSpeechAdapter deliberately always reports "unavailable" — there is no Android file-transcription API that doesn't require a live microphone stream). Recording, the alarm, and the morning timeline all work on Android; word-for-word transcripts do not yet. Decide before publishing to Play whether to: (a) ship Android now with honest copy ("transcription coming soon on Android"), or (b) hold the Play listing until Whisper (on-device, Phase 7) lands. This file is written for option (a); adjust the description's transcription claims if you choose (b) to delay instead.
