Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about creating, sharing, and trusting GiftSong.
What is GiftSong?
GiftSong is an iOS app that turns a 30-second voice recording and a short written message into a personalized AI-generated song sung in your own cloned voice. You pick one of 20 scene templates — birthday, love note, anniversary, wedding, Christmas, lullaby, and more — and GiftSong delivers a shareable web link in minutes. Available on iPhone and iPad.
How does voice cloning work?
You record about 30 seconds of clear speech inside the app. GiftSong's AI analyzes the timbre, pitch, and cadence of your voice to build a personal voice model. The model is used to sing AI-generated lyrics. Your voice sample is encrypted, never used to train shared models, and you can delete it anytime.
Can I clone someone else's voice as a surprise?
No. GiftSong only allows voice cloning from a live recording made inside the app — uploaded audio files are not supported. This is a deliberate design choice to protect against misuse. And the magic of GiftSong is sending your own voice, which feels more personal than a clone anyway.
How long does it take to create a song?
Most songs are ready in 2–3 minutes from the moment you tap Generate. Complex scenes or longer lyrics may take up to 5 minutes. You'll get an iOS push notification when your song is ready.
How much does GiftSong cost?
Three tiers: Free (1 free song), Weekly at $4.99/week (unlimited), and Monthly at $9.99/month (unlimited, best value — save 50% vs weekly). All tiers include voice cloning and all 20 scene templates. Localized pricing in EUR, GBP, MXN and more on the App Store. See Pricing.
Can I share a song without the recipient installing the app?
Yes. Every song gets a public share link on giftsong.net/gift/{id}. Recipients open it in any browser — iPhone, Android, desktop — and play instantly. No app install, no account, no signup.
What languages does GiftSong support?
English, Spanish (Spain & Mexico), French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Dutch — for both app UI and song lyric generation. Your cloned voice can sing lyrics in any supported language regardless of what language you spoke during the voice sample.
Is my voice data safe?
Yes. Your voice sample is encrypted at rest. It is never used to train global or shared AI models — it only generates your personal songs. You can delete your voice model and all associated songs anytime from Settings. See our Trust & Ethics page for full details.
What devices work with GiftSong?
Creation requires iPhone or iPad with iOS 16.0 or later. Recipients can play shared songs on any device with a modern browser — iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows, Chromebook — because share pages are standard web pages.
Can I edit the lyrics before the song is generated?
Yes. After writing your message, GiftSong generates draft lyrics. You can review and edit them line-by-line before tapping Generate. The final song is sung using your approved lyrics.
How many song scenes are available?
20 scene templates across four categories: Love & Relationships (love note, anniversary, apology, Valentine's sweet, Valentine's flirty), Family & Daily (baby lullaby, good morning, good night, family greeting, cheer up, friendship), Holidays (birthday, Christmas, spring greeting, Thanksgiving, New Year, wedding, congratulations), and Fun & Social (inside joke, playful tease).
Can I make a group song for a wedding, birthday, or retirement?
Yes. Include multiple names, shared memories, and group messages in your lyrics. For weddings and milestone birthdays, the Wedding and Birthday scenes are optimized to handle multi-person tributes. Each person you mention gets woven into the song naturally.
Can I cancel my subscription anytime?
Yes. Subscriptions are managed through Apple's standard In-App Purchase system. Cancel anytime in iPhone Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. Your subscription stays active until the end of the current billing period. No questions asked.
