Voice cloning that runs on your iPhone.

Mimic is a voice cloning and real-time voice changing app for iPhone. Clone a voice from a short sample, then perform with it live — all on your device. Share a voice with the community if you want to, or keep it to yourself.

What it does

Performer Mode — live

Speak into your iPhone with headphones on. Mimic transforms your voice in about a second and pipes it back to your ears, so you can perform in another voice in real time. Powered by the Neural Engine — no internet required.

Studio cloning, with permission

Read a short script and Mimic builds a voice avatar from it. Then perform with it live, or convert a recording. Clone your own voice, or someone else's with their clear consent — Mimic asks you to confirm that before you record a sample.

Built-in voice library

Fourteen voices included out of the box. Six free effects — Robot, Helium, Demon, Underwater, Whisper and Echo — work on any iPhone running iOS 18 or later. Eight designer voices, from Princess and Super Hero for the kids to character voices for creators and performers, unlock with Mimic Pro.

Community Library

Browse voices published by other people, like the ones you love, and add them to your own library, free. Hear any of them before you take it — Mimic renders the audition on your phone. Clone a voice of your own and you can share it back, or keep it private with Mimic Pro. Every submission is reviewed by hand before anyone sees it, and you can block a creator at any time.

Ranks, medals and streaks

Everything you make, take and share earns points — ten ranks to climb, from Newcomer to Immortal, and eleven medals along the way. Keep a daily streak for a scoring multiplier, with a rest day each week so one missed evening doesn't undo it. The higher ranks need voices you published that other people actually use. It all lives on your iPhone.

Private by design

Cloning, conversion and playback all run on your iPhone's Neural Engine. Your recordings are never uploaded — not to clone, not to perform, not ever. The only thing that can leave your phone is a voice you deliberately choose to publish, and even then Mimic sends a mathematical voice print rather than any audio.

Common questions

Can I clone a voice on an iPhone?

Yes. Mimic records a short voice sample — about 20 seconds of clean speech — and builds a voice avatar from it directly on the phone. Your recording is not uploaded, there is no account, and there is no waiting on a server to process it. You can then use that avatar to convert a recording or to perform live.

For the full walkthrough — how to record a sample that actually works, what the hardware needs to be, and the consent rules that apply — see the guide to cloning a voice on an iPhone.

Is there an offline voice cloning app for iPhone?

Mimic is built for exactly that. The speaker embedding, the voice conversion and the audio playback all run on-device using Core ML on Apple's Neural Engine, so cloning and performing work in airplane mode. Most voice cloning tools send your audio to a server; Mimic never does. Browsing the Community Library is the one part that needs a connection.

Can it change my voice in real time?

Yes — that is Performer Mode. With headphones or AirPods connected, you speak and hear yourself transformed roughly a second later, continuously. It also works through a Bluetooth speaker for performing to a room.

Which iPhones does it work on?

Mimic runs on any iPhone with iOS 18 or later. The six built-in voice effects — Robot, Helium, Demon, Underwater, Whisper and Echo — work on all of them, since they use classic audio processing rather than a machine-learning model. Voice cloning and the eight designer voices additionally need the Neural Engine on iPhone 15 Pro or newer, because those models have to run faster than speech arrives.

Is voice cloning legal, and what is it for?

Mimic is a creative tool: voicing characters, narration and dubbing for your own videos, performing, and playing with voices with your kids. Clone your own voice freely, and anyone else's only with their clear permission. Using a cloned voice to impersonate someone without consent, to deceive, or to harass is against Mimic's terms and is likely illegal where you live. The app asks you to acknowledge this before you record a voice sample.

What does it cost?

Free to download, including the six built-in voice effects, Performer Mode and recordings — all unlimited. Cloning is free too: publish the voice to the Community Library and it is yours to keep, permanently. Mimic Pro is for keeping a clone private instead, and for unlimited use of the eight designer voices and the whole library. It comes as a monthly subscription — which starts with a 3-day free trial — or a one-time lifetime purchase. Prices are shown in the App Store and on the in-app upgrade screen.

Your voice stays on your phone unless you share it.

Every step of the pipeline — speaker embedding, voice conversion, audio playback — runs on-device using Core ML on Apple's Neural Engine. Publishing a voice to the Community Library is the one thing that sends anything, it is entirely your choice, and it sends a voice print, never your audio.
