The client companion app for hypnotherapy practices
The session doesn't end when they leave your office.
Sotto puts your recordings, appointments, messages, and programs in your clients' pocket — under your brand, with nothing to download from an app store.
Private by design · Your brand throughout · No app store required
Built hand-in-hand with practicing hypnotherapists. Early access 2026.
The problem
Why the usual patchwork falls short
Scattered across inboxes
Recordings go out as email attachments and drive links. Clients lose them, re-request them, or play them once and forget.
No view between sessions
Once a client walks out the door, you have no idea whether they listened at all — until you ask at the next session.
Tools that weren't built for this
Generic portals, file-sharing apps, and booking tools each solve a sliver — and none of them feel like your practice.
Features
Everything between sessions, in one place
Sotto replaces the pile of email attachments, shared drive links, and text threads with a single quiet app your clients actually open.
Personal audio library
Assign session recordings to each client. They stream them in a calm, distraction-free player — or keep listening offline.
Passwordless sign-in
Clients tap a link or enter a short code from their email. No passwords to forget, no accounts to reset.
Two-way messaging
Email and SMS from one shared inbox. Replies come back into the console — not to your personal phone.
Appointments & reminders
Book sessions and let automatic email and SMS reminders cut no-shows without you lifting a finger.
Group classes
Publish classes, collect RSVPs, cap attendance, and send reminders to everyone who's coming.
Program materials
Share worksheets, guides, and resources alongside each program, so clients always know what's next.
Newsletters
Keep your whole client list warm with simple broadcasts, written once and delivered to everyone.
Payments
Take card payments through Stripe, automatically matched to the right client record.
Engagement insights
See who's actually listening. Every play and download is logged per client, per recording, per day.
Up and running in an afternoon
No migrations, no IT department, no training sessions.
Add a client
All you need is their email address. No forms, no onboarding calls, no app-store friction.
Assign their work
Recordings, programs, appointments, class invites — everything they need, chosen by you.
They open one link
Clients sign in from their email, add the app to their home screen, and everything is in one place.
Feels like an app. Skips the app store.
Sotto installs to the home screen straight from the browser as a progressive web app. Clients get an icon, offline audio, and instant updates — you skip review queues, store fees, and “please update your app” conversations.
A console built for how you actually work
One place to run the practice: clients, recordings, messages, bookings, and payments — without stitching five tools together.
- Upload a recording once, assign it to any client in seconds
- Answer email and SMS replies from a single inbox
- See per-client listening activity before their next session
- Run group classes with RSVPs, capacity limits, and reminders
Security
The foundation, not a feature
What happens in session stays between you and your client.
Private client spaces
Each client sees only their own recordings and materials — never anyone else's.
Expiring sign-in links
Magic links and codes are single-use, short-lived, and rate-limited against abuse.
No ads, no trackers
The client app carries no advertising and no third-party trackers. Ever.
Encrypted in transit
Everything between your clients and the app travels over encrypted connections.
Full activity trail
Every play and download is logged per client, per recording — a record you can stand behind.
Your data stays yours
Client records and recordings belong to your practice, and leave with you if you ever go.
Built for Canadian health-privacy law
Sotto is engineered to meet Canada's PIPEDA and Ontario's PHIPA requirements for handling personal health information — the same standards clinics and hospitals are held to.
Encrypted at rest & in transit
Client records and recordings are fully encrypted on disk, and every connection across the network is secured — the data is never readable in the clear.
Tamper-evident audit logs
Detailed, append-only logs capture who opened a client file, what they viewed, and the exact date and time — a record that can't be quietly altered.
Unique logins & role permissions
Servers and databases require individual staff logins and strict role-based permissions, so only authorized people can reach sensitive records.
Privacy & risk assessments
A written Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) and security risk assessment is completed before any new software or server system goes live.
Who we're building Sotto for
Solo practitioners
One console for the whole practice — clients, recordings, bookings, and payments — so the admin hours go back into session work.
Clinics & centers
A shared console for the team and one consistent app for every client, carrying the clinic's own brand throughout.
Questions, answered
When can I get access?+
We're onboarding founding practices in small groups. Join the waitlist and we'll reach out as soon as a spot opens for you.
Do my clients need to download anything?+
No. Sotto is a web app that installs straight to the home screen from the browser — no app store, no updates to chase. It looks and feels like a native app.
How do clients sign in?+
With a magic link or a short code sent to their email. There are no passwords anywhere in the system, which means nothing to forget and nothing to reset.
Does the audio work offline?+
Yes. Once a client installs the app, their assigned recordings are available even without a connection — on the train, on a plane, or with the phone in airplane mode at bedtime.
Can it carry my practice's branding?+
Yes. Sotto is built to be white-labeled: your name, your colors, your domain. Your clients only ever see your practice.
What does it cost?+
Pricing depends on the size of your practice. Get in touch and we'll walk you through it with your own content loaded in.
