### 5/5 — I honestly didn’t expect much when I downloaded it. I’ve tried a few meditation apps

*2026-07-15*

I honestly didn’t expect much when I downloaded it. I’ve tried a few meditation apps before and usually deleted them after a couple of days.

I’ve been using this one for almost two weeks now, and surprisingly, I’ve actually stuck with it. The design is clean, it’s easy to start, and there aren’t a bunch of distracting features. When I can’t sleep or feel stressed after work, I put on my headphones and sit with it for about ten minutes. It really does help my mind slow down.

It’s not the kind of app that changes your life overnight, but having a few quiet minutes to myself every day has been genuinely helpful.
