Slow, guided breathing is one of the most researched wellness tools on the planet. Studies show it lowers stress hormones, calms the nervous system, reduces blood pressure, and improves sleep — starting with your very first session. Oasis makes it simple, beautiful, and something you'll actually want to do every day. BREATHE Tap play. Follow the circle. Breathe slowly and deeply as it guides each inhale and exhale. That's it. Within minutes, your heart rate drops, your mind quiets, and your body shifts out of stress mode. No experience needed. LEARN Explore guided courses built for real life: • Healing Breath Fitness — a 4-week program that builds a complete daily practice from the ground up • Introduction to Ayurveda — ancient wisdom for modern health: digestion, daily rhythms, seasonal living • Meditation as Medicine, Meditation at Home, Meditation in the Workplace, and more BUILD YOUR PRACTICE Pick the practices that resonate with you — breath awareness, loving-kindness, mantra, movement, prayer — and combine them into a session that's completely your own. Set a weekly schedule. Build a habit that lasts. FEEL THE DIFFERENCE Regular meditators sleep better, handle stress with more ease, and report feeling more connected to themselves and the people around them. The research is solid. The tradition is thousands of years old. And the results speak for themselves. WHOLE-PERSON WELLNESS Meditation is just the beginning. It also covers nutrition, movement, sleep, journaling, sound healing, and community — because real wellbeing touches every part of life. FIND YOUR PEOPLE Start or join a meditation group. Sit together, even from a distance. Community makes the practice stick. Whether you're brand new or deepening a lifelong path, here you are. Begin. Breathe. Return.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stillness at none against Galaxy Map's 10. Stillness also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Galaxy Map's advantage is ratings volume (617 vs 1). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
