Made for falling asleep
Stella invites you to return to your stories every day. Your LuminVoice session is made for bedtime: you press play and fall asleep to it.

Made to hear again and again
Built on research: a personal session works best when you hear it night after night. And Lumi writes you the next one whenever you need it, from what you share along the way.

Questions
Is LuminVoice a good Stella alternative?
For your nights, yes. Both write from what you share: Stella writes stories of the life you want, to come back to every day. LuminVoice writes a session about the person you want to become and reads it to you as you fall asleep.
Is LuminVoice a manifestation app?
Not in the way Stella is. LuminVoice is about who you want to become rather than what you want to have: a session written from your own words about the person you are growing into, heard every night as you fall asleep.
