## What is SoulGarden?

You meditate. Your garden grows. Your well-being blooms.

SoulGarden is the meditation app that makes your practice visible. With every minute you meditate, a barren desert landscape transforms step by step into a colorful, blooming garden. At your side is your avatar Souly, your little virtual soul. It makes learning to meditate feel like a game you look forward to every day.

YOUR JOURNEY FROM THE DESERT TO A BLOOMING GARDEN
At the start, you stand with Souly in the middle of the barren desert. A few bare tree trunks, plus sand and silence. With every minute of meditation you collect soul energy, which breathes new life into the desert. At the first level, clouds roll in. The first seedlings sprout, the water returns, plants grow and begin to bloom. Level by level, you travel through the five elements: space, earth, water, fire and air. Each one transforms your garden in its own way.
In the end, a living, radiant garden awaits, showing how much time and devotion you have put into yourself. Souly is with you the whole way, quiet and patient, and always there when you come back.

WHAT MAKES SOULGARDEN SPECIAL
In SoulGarden, every meditation builds on the one before. Every minute you meditate becomes visible in your garden. It grows with you and looks forward to your visit every day. Meditation here is an invitation you accept whenever it feels right for you.
Behind the concept is scientific research on gamification and mindfulness, presented at the CHI PLAY conference in 2025.

MEDITATION THAT SUITS YOU
• A small, growing collection of guided meditations, grounded in research and crafted with loving attention to detail
• A meditation timer with intervals, sound instruments and background sounds of your choice
• Want to practice outside the app and log it later? No problem.
• Personal reminders, whenever you want them
• Group meditations where you meditate live with others
• The temple helps you see how you change over time, especially through journaling, by voice note too, if you like
• Want to learn more about meditation? In the Learn menu, short articles are there for you anytime

WHO IS SOULGARDEN FOR?
SoulGarden is for everyone who wants to learn to meditate. If you're just starting out, Souly and your garden guide you step by step into a practice that feels light and alive. If you've tried before and stopped at some point, you're in exactly the right place. Your garden lovingly reminds you how far you've come and helps you stick with it this time. And if you've been meditating for a while, SoulGarden gives you a place where your practice becomes visible and keeps growing day by day.

YOUR FIRST COURSE: FIRST STEPS
Seven weeks, five elements, ideal for getting started. Together in the circle, you'll learn the basics of meditation and get to know tangible, everyday concepts, and go deeper with them. Written and spoken by Olli.

HANDMADE, WITH SOUL
So much today is generated by AI. We're choosing a different path on purpose: real people speak the meditations in their own voices, musicians compose the music, and we animate the garden by hand. You can see and hear that someone was there who meant it.

SoulGarden is made with a lot of love by a small, independent team in Germany. It all began as a master's thesis, and today the app keeps growing together with a community that helps shape it.

Meditate. Grow. Bloom.
Let's grow together.

With love,
your SoulGarden team

### 1.3.1 — 2026-08-18

• Widget neu (iOS & Android): letzte drei Meditations-Tage als Häkchen, Streak mit App-Blatt, Level mit Progress-Bar — alles in Glassy-Chips, auf jedem Garten-Hintergrund lesbar
• Widget-Fix iOS 26: Widget blieb als grauer Platzhalter hängen (Speicherlimit) — behoben

Einstellungen als Preset speichern.

• Die Meditation selbst
Neues Design, in Hoch- und Querformat. Sessions lassen sich pausieren, ein Fortschrittsbalken zeigt, wo du stehst, und dein Avatar sitzt unten mit dir — Augen zu, solange du meditierst, offen wenn du pausierst, und am Ende freut er sich mit.

• Home-Screen-Widget für iOS und Android
Dein echter Garten auf dem Startbildschirm, in drei Größen. Er zeigt, ob du heute schon meditiert hast; ein Tipp öffnet die App direkt im Garten.

Dazu kleinere Verbesserungen: die Element-Auswahl beginnt jetzt mit Space, und Berechtigungen werden erst gefragt, wenn du die Funktion wirklich nutzt.
