## What is Stillness?

Stillness is a meditation timer for serious practice.

While you sit, your AirPods quietly sense when you drift from your posture baseline. A gentle cue brings you back. No guidance. No streaks shouting at you. No celebrity narrators. Just a clean space to sit, breathe, and stay.

THE DIFFERENCE: POSTURE VIA AIRPODS

Stillness is the first meditation app on the App Store to use the motion sensors built into your AirPods (Pro, 3rd gen, Max, or compatible Beats) to keep watch over your posture during a sit.

At the start of each session, you set a baseline — the angle of your head when you are upright, relaxed, settled. Stillness reads pitch, yaw, and roll 60 times per second through Apple's headphone motion API. If you slowly start to slump beyond your chosen sensitivity threshold (default ±5°, fully configurable), a soft tone or haptic brings your attention back. No screen needed. No camera. Nothing leaves your device.

WHAT'S INSIDE

- Calibrated posture baseline at the start of every session
- Configurable sensitivity (tight ±3° to loose ±10°)
- Session durations: 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60 minutes — or Open
- Detailed history of every sit: duration, posture drift events, baseline
- User profile with practice statistics
- Designed for unguided practice: no voice, no music, no noise
- Editorial-minimalist UI: cream, beige, sage, serif typography
- 100% on-device. No account. No tracking. No ads.

PHILOSOPHY

Stillness is built for people who already know why they sit. Vipassana, zazen, shikantaza, silent prayer, secular mindfulness — whatever brings you to the cushion, Stillness stays out of the way.

Most meditation apps are noisy. They light up your screen. They reward you with badges. They ask you to subscribe. They look like cartoons.

Stillness is the opposite. Monastic. Quiet. Slow. The interface fades while you sit. The timer ends with a single bell. The history is a list, not a celebration.

—

FREE vs LIFETIME UNLOCK

Stillness is free, with no ads and no subscription. The free tier includes the full posture-aware timer, all durations, baseline calibration, and a 30-day rolling history.

A single one-time purchase (no subscription, ever) unlocks:
- Deep insights — posture stability scores, drift patterns over time, weekly trends
- Unlimited history — every sit you've ever logged, never expired
- Long export — CSV / JSON export of your full practice for journaling, research, or sharing with a teacher
- Future Apple Watch companion (when released, included at no extra cost)

Pay once. Keep it for life. That's the deal.

—

WHAT IT IS NOT

Not a guided meditation app. There is no library of 10,000 talks.
Not a sleep app. There are no celebrity sleep stories.
Not a chat. There is no community feed.
Not a subscription trap.

If those are what you want, Calm, Headspace, Insight Timer, and Waking Up are all excellent and you should use them.

If you want a quiet, beautiful, posture-aware timer that respects your practice, Stillness is for you.

—

PRIVACY

Posture data is processed entirely on your device. Nothing is sent to a server. There is no account. There is no analytics SDK. The only network calls Stillness makes are to deliver your one-time purchase receipt to Apple.
