A good variety of thoughtful content that preserves the value of monastic traditions while sharing wisdom with those searching for peace in a busy life. ### 5/5 — 10/10 Recommend *2026-05-26, version 1.12.0* This a wonderful app to help you in your discernment for your vocation and also in living out your vocation. A place where you are met and supported in living fully alive in Christ. As a college student this app has helped me grow with great intentionally and a continuous focus on placing God at the center of everything in my life. ### 5/5 — Intentional Daily Staple! *2026-05-05, version 1.10.0* This is something I have really enjoyed having at my fingertips structured and intentional times everyday for prayer, peace, and spiritual growth. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — 2000+ years of wellness wisdom in 1 app *2026-04-30, version 1.10.0* This app brings a new approach to an ancient source of wisdom: monasticism. The teachings from monks and nuns is bite sized and practical making it much easier to apply small shifts every day, all aimed at building a more holistic and spiritually centered lifestyle. The commitment building and app blocking features also assist the follow through by applying the wisdom learned into concrete yeses (the commitments) and nos (app blocking)—super helpful in a world full of distractions. ### 5/5 — A map towards unity with God *2026-04-29, version 1.10.0* Monk Mindset is not a “prayer app,” it’s more of a holy-lifestyle app. A guide to living a saintly life. It has helped me integrate my love for God into every aspect of my life, not just moments of prayer. It’s basically a map for the journey towards unity with God. ### 5/5 — Learning to be more peaceful *2026-03-19, version 1.7.0* The name tells you what the content wants to accomplishment - a mindset like a monk. The various monks give different perspectives on the life of a monk and how prayer centers their lives. The challenges provide structure while imparting information. It’s the mixture of prayer and how important community is to reaching a greater understanding of God’s peace that draws me to this app. The lessons are concise and easy to understand. Yes, sometimes the app can be glitchy, but that’s small inconvenience and a chance to practice patience. ### 5/5 — Review *2026-02-14, version 1.6.0* Monk Mindset takes the spirituality and wisdom of the monastic life and makes it available to lay persons. The monks and religious presenting topics are fantastic and provide real-world examples of how to live. Above all, I love the rhythm it has brought to my life. ### 5/5 — Peaceful and utility all in one place. *2026-01-08, version 1.1.0* This app has helped me order my life. It allows you to structure your time and block distractions. I feel like I’m able to achieve my daily task in a more focused relaxed way. Building a rhythm and learning techniques in bite sized lessons has changed my life. ### 5/5 — Makes me want to live more like a monk *2026-01-08* Monk Mindset is providing me a window into the routines and practices I want to adopt and the tools to help me get there ### 5/5 — Straightforward monastic wisdom *2026-01-07, version 1.1.0* Great content in great packaging and not too much or too little. Helps so much to learn wisdom from monasticism and put it into practice in daily life outside a monastery. ### 5/5 — Thank you *2026-01-07* The monks and nuns here have been such a blessing for me. Cannot thank you enough ### 5/5 — Love the mindset! *2026-01-04, version 1.1.0* Love the process and videos to support the practices! I have been scheduling time first thing in the mornings and having this app block distractions from phone is great! ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2026-01-01* Great content from real monks and nuns thats helped me live a more well ordered lifestyle. App blocking feature has been super helpful for cutting my wasted screentime. Packs a lot of helpful features in one place. Def recommend! ### 5/5 — solid content and features *2025-12-31, version 1.1.0* Have been following them for a while before the app was released through their social and newsletter - super helpful and fun content led by real monks and nuns and the founder. In the app it has some cool features like walking you through building a monk-inspired schedule and tracking your progress. If you struggle with phone addiction at all (like me :/ ) they have a helpful feature that lets you block apps you struggle with so you literally can't get into them. Pretty solid imo overall for an app that just launched ### 5/5 — Great App!! *2025-12-30* Such a great app! It has helped lead me to so much peace. Would recommend for everyone! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Business *2026-04-22* This app requires a future subscription in order to fully enjoy the experience of being able to commit peace and productivity. An $11.99 a month or $69.99 a year subscription rate after the 7 or 14 days free trial is ridiculous! Why not fully help the individual who wants to participate in peace? Money is tight right now especially with bad things going around us! No but thanks! ### 2/5 — $70 a Year *2026-06-26, version 1.14.0* AFTER you download the app and create an account with your email address, you find out you have to pay $70 a year to use it. ### 3/5 — Great content, app not working well on iPad *2026-01-31, version 1.4.0* I really like this app. I can’t wait until it gets optimized for the iPad. But it’s my favorite app right now and it is keeping me sane. I found out about it on Hallow. Thank God they went there. ### 3/5 — An interesting concept but needs significant work. *2026-01-02, version 1.1.0* I downloaded this and, as a Catholic businessman and family man, I love what it could be. But I feel it has yet to find its feet. It feels launched as an (expensive) minimum viable product. Is it a faith app? Is it a business / academic productivity app? It feels lost between the two or perhaps even as if it is trying to force the two together. There is an idea there, for sure, but this has not yet found that ground. The faith elements are very basic and it informs you when you should be scheduling prayer and meditation but then gives you no support in finding prayer (morning offering, angelus, rosary, lectio divina, etc). You have to find that somewhere else. I would have found it interesting to have learnt more about the different monastic orders and the history or monasticism as a grounding or even as a sidebar. Nothing. There are some very short, poorly edited videos (<1 minute) of monks and nuns giving vox pop answers to questions we don’t hear. That’s confusing and not really “library-worthy”. The host is charming and likeable but he is not a presenter. There is a lot some stumbling and mumbling and occasional injections of Latin terms which, while translated, have no explanation as to why they’ve been dropped in. Similarly, there are lots of references to quotes from St Theresa of Avila, St Thomas Aquinas (and some others) without any real explanation as to why they’ve were chosen. (There are so few, it feels a little like there are 3 or 4 saints that the host has to draw on and that’s it, rather than the whole panoply of 2000 years’ of theologians and mystics). There are repeated recommendations that this can be used to improve business operations and home/social interactions, but no real explanations of how or the sociological/anthropological proofs to this. It feels like an attempt to find a hook to sell more app subscriptions. And all this seems like a lot of criticism, but it’s here because I like the concept and I’d like to see (something like) it succeed. I know the app states that sometimes you need to get things out without seeking perfection, but I feel that this is way too early to be charging £13/month for a concept which is not yet clear and a very limited library of videos (which could just as easily be a podcast: the videos add nothing in themselves, but mean you can’t listen on your headphones while walking or doing something else, thereby limiting listening time). ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-08-28, version 1.19.0* This app has helped me grow in relationship with the Lord in many forms. I love the prayers they share and the helpful tips they give to try on a daily basis. Thank you for this app 😊 ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2026-08-25, version 1.19.0* Such a wonderful tool for my prayer life ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-08-17, version 1.18.0* This app has really helped me with my spiritual journey, creating good habits and routine and sticking it them free from distractions of my phone and the outside world. ### 5/5 — Love this App *2026-08-14, version 1.18.0* This app keeps me motivated and grounded throughout the day. It encourage, refocus me and reminds me that God is with me in every moment. ### 5/5 — Inspiring & Practical! *2026-08-14, version 1.18.0* Highly recommend! This app is amazing! The founder’s background includes being a leadership coach and the resources in the app help me to grow my faith and to be my best self! I love listening to the inspiring and practical “Daily Monk” sessions each morning. So interesting! The variety and multitude of sessions and prayers are awesome! For example, the same Psalms prayed each day by monks and nuns throughout the world are available! I have them on my Home Screen so I can listen to them too. The material is based on monastic wisdom developed over centuries, and I’m SO thankful it has been shared in this app. The Monk Mindset app is helpful and practical, and gives me peace. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Simple, Clean & No Anxiety *2026-08-12, version 1.18.0* I love that it keeps my spiritual day on track in a clean and concise Way. Deletes my anxiety and keeps me from feeling overwhelmed when praying, meditating & reflection. Pax ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-08-03, version 1.17.0* Monk Mindset provides such practical methods to transform your daily life into one of prayer and productivity. I did their Lenten program and really loved it. Would recommend for anyone trying to build better habits and their relationship with God ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2026-07-06, version 1.14.0* Very helpful in my daily life ### 5/5 — Great content and tools! *2026-07-06, version 1.14.0* 10/10 content and love how it helps me put everything into practice! ### 5/5 — More Than a Meditation/Prayer App *2026-06-27, version 1.14.0* I cannot recommend Monk Mindset highly enough for anyone trying to improve their spiritual life - but the content and schedules go way beyond prayer to cover mental and physical health, decision making, work and professional excellence, relationships, and more. This is the best app I’ve used for building habits to better fulfill my purpose in life. 10/10 would recommend. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
