Identity Shift
Rewrites the source as who you are, not what you should do. Standards, self-talk, the behavior that proves it, and a recovery protocol for the days you slip.
Best for discipline, confidence, money habits, self-concept.
Paste a YouTube video and transform it into an editable script and audio session designed for identity-level integration, deep learning, or repeated subconscious conditioning.
Free account unlocks 5 starter recodes. No card required. Pro is $9/mo when you want more.
The gap
You watched the video. You understood it. You felt something. Two weeks later nothing about how you actually live has changed.
That gap isn't a discipline failure. Hearing an idea once doesn't rewrite how you think — repeating it does. SelfRecode exists to close the distance between understanding something and running on it.
How it works
A YouTube video, an article, a transcript, your own notes. Anything you already care about enough to want it to stick.
Identity Shift or DeepDive, seen through one of four lenses. The lens changes how the idea gets translated to you — never what the source actually said.
You get an editable script and an MP3 you own. This is the step that repeats — and the only one that changes anything.
Two modes
Rewrites the source as who you are, not what you should do. Standards, self-talk, the behavior that proves it, and a recovery protocol for the days you slip.
Best for discipline, confidence, money habits, self-concept.
Rebuilds the source as understanding. First principles, the mental model underneath, second-order effects, and where the idea transfers to other domains.
Best for learning, strategy, business, anything you want to actually retain.
Four lenses
Pick one and it carries straight into the box above.
When it works
Your guard is lowest in the twenty minutes before sleep and right after waking. And during automatic tasks — driving, walking, dishes — your attention is free even though your hands aren't. Play a recode in any of those and the repetition works while you're doing something else.
Why people stay
Most people start with one thing — discipline, money, focus, health, faith, a skill. You build a handful of recodes for it and replay them until that pillar stops taking effort. Then you move to the next one. Your library keeps every script, organized by pillar, and it gets more valuable the longer you use it.
Pricing
Creating a recode costs a credit. Replaying it, forever, on any device, costs nothing — metering repetition would break the only thing that makes this work.

Questions
An editable script written for the ear, and an MP3 you download and keep. Roughly four to twelve minutes, your choice. The script stays in your library so you can re-edit it or regenerate the audio in a different voice later.
No. Credits are only spent creating a new recode. Everything you've already made stays replayable and downloadable for free, including after a subscription ends.
YouTube videos with captions, pasted text up to 30,000 words, and .txt, .md, .html, or .pdf uploads. If a video has no usable transcript the generation fails and you aren't charged a credit.
No. A summary tells you what was said. A recode rewrites the source into second-person, spoken language aimed at you — your standards, your behavior, your understanding — in a form built to survive repetition without getting stale.
Nothing you've made goes away. You keep full access to your library and unlimited replays. You just can't create a new recode until you upgrade or your next monthly credits arrive.
