An editorial reading of the saved reviews

Minimalism as philosophy: a few meditation types, breathing exercises, and a bell timer with nothing extra. The app doesn't get in the way of practice. Experienced users from other major apps switch to this one and stay. Little content, but honest.

What users experience

5 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

I cannot recommend this app highly enough. It is a gorgeous and highly accessible app — it has a few different types of meditations, some guided breathing techniques, and some night techniques. All are completely free and without any ads whatsoever.
I cannot recommend this app highly enough. All are completely free and without any ads whatsoever. The fact that it's completely free is remarkable for an app of this quality.
I love how simple it is, love that it doesn't require any subscription nor payments. I love the badges, but that's besides my point — what matters is the practice itself is never turned into a competition or a streak.
I have over a decade of experience meditating but have fell out of practice for a while. So I wanted to try an app to help me get back into having a consistent practice again. I tried some of the other well known apps (that also cost money)
I absolutely love this app. There is no subscription that you have to buy to use it. Whenever I've had a stressful day I can always count on this to help me unwind without any pop-ups destroying the moment afterward.
